Great image quality, compatible with existing K-mount lenses
Noisy autofocus that can be slow and is poor at longer focal lengths, no viewfinder possibility, boxy design, lack of prominent grip inconsistent with K-mount concept, too expensive, confused concept
Similar to a DSLR without the mirrorbox, the K-01 is too big to be considered a ‘compact system camera’. It’s a confused product that just doesn’t cut it. Autofocus won’t keep up with competitors, it’s noisy in use and the boxy design lacks the necessa...
Original, innovative design, Generally good build quality, Image quality at all ISO settings, Compatibility with Kmount lenses with no adapter, integrated stabilisation, Pleasanttouse screen, accurate display quality (sharpness, colours etc.)
Unusual design, grip could be better, Rubber connection port cover feels a bit cheap for a camera at this price, Not as responsive as other hybrid compacts, especially in low light, Bulky compared with other mirrorless cameras
The Pentax K-01 is a bold camera, pairing standard SLR lenses with a hybrid mirrorless body and a compact camera's autofocus system. The result is a camera that's bulkier than its competitors and which can't quite match their performances—except when i...
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...
Sammanfattning: 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...
Sammanfattning: 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....
The Pentax K-01 has a style all its own and it's a fun camera to use. Some people may find it to be too bulky and cumbersome, but equally, we think many people will appreciate the hefty size and very sturdy build quality. It can produce clear and vibra...
This is a perplexing camera. The point of the compact-system category is to get DSLR image quality in a smaller body. Removing the mirror and prism makes sense if the maker takes advantage of the ability to move the rear element of the lens closer to the...
