Extremely sharp lens. Excellent high ISO performance. Full compatibility with Pentax K-mount lenses. In-body image stabilization. Selectable video frame rates.
Larger than other cameras in its class. Slow autofocus. No EVF option. Fixed rear LCD
Larger than its peers, but interestingly designed, the Pentax K-01 can capture sharp photos in all types of light and delivers full compatibility with every Pentax K-mount lens ever produced....

The Pentax K-01's strengths lie in its use of existing standards; it's designed to use older K-mount lenses without an adapter, and uses Adobe DNG as its raw format. That, plus it has terrific photo quality
It's relatively large, and even if you love the design aesthetic it has some irritating operational quirks. The autofocus isn't up to par
A great option if you have a shelf full of K-mount lenses and don't mind missing some action shots, but the Pentax K-01 isn't such a great option for a typical amateur photographer.
Abstract: The Pentax K-01 is a pioneer; it is the first mirrorless camera to be designed for use with an already-existing lineup of DSLR and SLR lenses. The Pentax K-01 features the Pentax K-mount, which is compatible with all current and past Pentax K-mount lenses...

If you're with a bunch of photographers and want to get noticed, just pull out a Pentax K-01. Love it or hate it, the Marc Newson-designed camera has a one-of-a-kind style that'll certainly turn heads. The K-01 is about more than just looks, though - ...
The K-1 looks very good value for money and Pentax has exploited its sensor-shift system in a variety of clever and fascinating ways. It feels robust, responsive and well designed and could be a very important camera for Pentax...
Abstract: Never judge a book by its cover. It's good advice as far as many things in life are concerned and is particularly apt in relation to Pentax's K-01. An inevitable first reaction is usually along the lines of ‘What were they thinking?' mainly because the st...
Abstract: Pentax has undoubtedly been one of the more conservative of the mainstream camera companies, but it's developed a more adventurous streak with its compact system cameras. Of course, the concept of the mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera provides plent...
Brilliant image quality; full K-mount lens system support
Bulky and heavy; slow and noisy autofocus, $799 (body); $849 (40mm F2.8 XS lens); $849 (DAL18-55mm lens)
If you own a large collection of Pentax K-Mount lenses, this is a serious option. But the bulk, weight and terrible autofocus will turn off most other potential customers.Related Tags: camera, compact, K-01, macworld, macworld australia, pentax, photo...
Excellent image quality. Love-it or hate-it design. The 40mm pancake lens is ridiculously slim. Can use old Pentax K-mount lenses without an adapter
Frustrating autofocus issues. Might be too chunky for some people's hands. Video quality not up to par
The K-01 hits the ball out of the park when it comes to image quality, but its operational quirks and slower-than-a-glacier shooting speeds will frustrate....
