I love my K-01 too. But there was no way I would have bought one when it first came out. The darn things were about $900 CDN when they were introduced, and it was hard to justify that price compared to say, the K-5 at the time. And that's why you don't see to many of them in North America. Dealers recognized that it wouldn't sell all that well at that price point, and few stocked them.
I got mine when they were being closed out. I do find it a very fun camera to use, and with focus peaking and IBIS, it really is a wonderful thing to use with a wide variety of lenses.
The Mark Newson styling probably wasn't the best idea, and the full-depth K-mount does seem like a waste of space. And it really is almost impossible to use in bright sunlight.
On the plus side, the big battery is awesome.
