Abstract: Now, thanks to the mind of industrial designer Marc Newson, Pentax's latest mirrorless camera really epitomizes the word “hybrid”.To look at it, you will notice its unique boxy design. It is easy to hold. Whether you have a large or small set of hands, it...
Abstract: “Halfway through any work, one is often tempted to go off on a tangent... Finally, you would only produce something hybrid.”—Barbara Hepworth The Pentax K-01 belongs to a class of cameras generally known as “mirrorless”—Pentax calls it a hybrid—that ...
More sophisticated than its toy-like appearance, 16-megapixel APS-C sensor, K-mount accepts large library of lenses
Polarizing design, Photos and videos not as good as cheaper competition, Bulky, no hand grip, Poor AF system
We'll give Pentax K-01 a passing grade — but just barely. Given the right circumstances, it grabs very nice stills. However, there are just too many negative issues. You have far better options at more palatable prices. Highs More sophisticated than ...

Abstract: The Pentax K-01 is an odd duck that breaches the borders of traditional digital camera aesthetics. That's because this mirrorless nonconformist was designed by Marc Newson, a popular name in contemporary product design. Though Newson has designed everythi...
The most obvious draw of the K-01 is the K-mount, which can accept numerous lenses going back long before digital cameras came on the scene. If you are a long-time Pentax user with a big stash of K-mount lenses, the K-01 is likely a godsend. But for th...
Quality: excellent.Why you'd buy the Pentax: stylising, access to K-mount lenses.Why you wouldn't: clunky and noisy AF correction; heavy weight; bulky shape; poor high ISO performance.Nice try! But not for me!Pentax K-01 SpecificationsImage Sensor: 16.3 m...
