Wide selection of compatible lenses; Pin-sharp results with 40mm pancake lens; Good colour reproduction; Decent noise control
Some degradation when shooting movies while walking; Large chassis
The K-mount is a boon if you have a stock of compatible lenses, but it means the Pentax K-01 needs to be large to accommodate it. If you're happy to accept this, you won't be disappointed by the excellent image quality. The price below is for the body ...

Barely any smaller than an SLR with optical viewfinder, No option for an electronic viewfinder, Body design is uncomfortable in hand, some controls are poorly positioned, Rubber flash / connector compartment door easily bumped open, is tricky to close,...
With the Pentax K-01, the company treads new ground. It's a bold move, making Pentax the only manufacturer to offer two distinct mirrorless product lines, and the only one to offer a way to use existing SLR glass on mirrorless without an adapter. We ca...

Thanks to its large image sensor and quality kit lens, it was easy to shoot good video with the Pentax K-01. But we seem to say that about nearly all video-capable DSLRs and interchangeable lens system cameras these days, so in that aspect the K...

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...
Abstract: För ungefär ett år sedan lanserades Pentax Q, ett helt nytt litet system med egna objektiv och väldigt liten storlek. Nu är det dags för K-01, en större spegellös kamera som fått besök av en välkänd designer. Ditt meddelande har skickats Ditt namn:D...
Abstract: När vi testade Pentax Q förra året undrade jag vem den var tänkt för, de objektiv som fanns till systemet skvallrade inte om att teknisk kvalitet var det man satsade på, inte heller den lilla sensorn. Med den nya K-01 har Pentax tänkt mer på den som vi...
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
