*pronounced ‘kay- zero-one’ |
Pentax has formally announced the K-01 K-mount mirrorless interchangable
lens camera and a revised 40mm F2.8 pancake lens to match. Built around
a 16MP APS-C sensor, the camera can mount most of the lenses the
company has ever made. It features sensor-shift image stabilization, a
920k dot rear LCD and can shoot at up to 6 frames per second. The rather
interesting design is the work of respected product designer Marc
Newson and features a logo of his signature on the base of the camera.
The K-01 (which the company says should be pronounced 'kay-zero-one'),
will cost around $749 body-only and $899 with the 'XS' version of the
40mm lens.
