Can take pre-orders now?

I really think the combination of the new body with the new pancake lens does look .... Ugly, but I blame the lens entirely, I understand the practicality argument for pancake lenses, but really, if you are trying to promote a new product, asthetics is a huge part of capturing a new audience favourably...

I knocked this out in photoshop (gimp technically) in about 5 minutes.. I think the body looks kick ass with a normal lens on it... (excuse the rough photoshop work)

Cool!
Can't wait to use one with my MF lenses. Just hope it have good focusing aids.

Coming from a NEX user, I love this camera. I even find some K1000 elements to it. It's almost a dream come through. Frankly I was amazed when people were buying retro looking cameras for "the look" I only hope an EVF is eventually available for it. Emjay,let's get this preorder going. I'm in! Looks like my DA40 and KX are going on the B&S

Wonder what the old DA40 would look like on K-01?

Honestly... ANYTHING other than the ugly flat thing they have been promoting will 1.) look a million times better and 2.) will work ! Even cooler. ;-)

To me its a really positive with these picts.
No other brand has so many small lens at the right form factor at launch for their MILC.

The first mirrorless (MILC) camera with a huge arsenal of lenses waiting to be mounted... X-Pro1? NEX? V1/J1? PEN?... All seriously threatened.

Now, as others have mentioned, where is the FF version of such a camera? :bsmilie:
