Pentax K-01 Review
Specifications
Considering that it's a mirrorless camera and that it's priced well below Pentax's advanced DSLR (the K-5), the K-01 boasts a fairly impressive feature set. Manual video controls, 60fps recording, a new AF system, and a new image processor are just some of the highlights of this camera!
