Pocket-Lint: Pentax fans rejoice! You now have a compact system camera in your armoury. Actually, you can strike the "compact" part straight away, because this mirrorless camera, designed by Marc Newson, is anything but compact.
When asked why there was no inclusion of a viewfinder - which would have essentially made this a DSLR - Marc Newson responding that Pentax hadn't asked for it in the brief. So what we have in the Pentax K-01 is a design-led hybrid camera of sorts. The innards and the bulk of a DSLR, but without the mirror box.
TheVerge - Does the K-01's performance justify its excessive size and price?
Pocket-Lint: The Pentax K-01 first fell into Pocket-Lint’s hands back in February this year, where we were left more than a little perplexed about what this mirrorless camera was all about.
Acclaimed designer Marc Newson is at the helm of this latest design, though the result has set the internet alight with all manner of both love and hate. So who is the camera aimed at, is it a design success, and -preconceptions aside - how does it feel and function as a modern-day camera?
