Heard that its already pretty fast after the firmware upgrade.
Call me pessimistic but i think its a one-off product. I really dun see pentax building a new mirrorless eco-system with the k-01.
News K-01 drops to 350 USD (430 sgd) and with 40mm XS kit is 550 sgd brand new

It's faster than other mirror-less systems with adapted lenses but still slower and louder compared to those systems with native lenses. Well, at least from my short experiences I had in shops throughout this year.
I know Pentax will never release a lens designed for the K-01. That's why I wanted to point out Pentax doesn't even have a single lens to make use of the K-01's full potential.
The DA40mm XS was designed together with the K-01. So it is the only lens designed for the K-01.
It's a full-frame lens with screw drive AF, isn't it?
FAs are FF but DAs are meant for Digital but can be used on FF.

Thanks for highlighting, bought one but don't know when I'll get it. Amazon no stock now...
Good deal, consider if you can sell the DA40 XS for 290 sgd, you basically got a K01 for 100 SGD,
man, that insane price for K5 level sensor, just 100 SGD. blows all brands out of water.
glad to finally receive delivery email from Amazon, but then...
"Estimated arrival date: January 30, 2013 - February 25, 2013"
what a stretch !!

he have no hobby or interest in anything...
so weekend is the time to bring him out to see the outside world... or else will become emo.... depression...
Thats real tough.
Always a challenge for parents to still juggle with taking care of grandchildren.
Tough for you as a SIL too.
