Pentax K-01 16Mp APS-C hybrid camera review

Viewfinder

I have a GX1 with the optional VF, I rarely use the VF... no real requirement for it so far although I imagine this will change slightly now the sun has come out. I moved from a DSLR to the GX1 to save weight and bulk, its made a hell of a difference, I can now take my camera, 4 lenses and filters etc out with me in a v small bag whereas before for the same kit I was carrying a largeish rucksack, and have better IQ (imho) than I did with the Canon.

To be fair if I had seen this cam before I bought the GX1 I think I would have given it serious consideration.

Had mine for a couple of days now, and the battery life is appalling :( quick search on the web shows its not just me... thankfully due to the distance selling regs it may well be going back to vodafone in the next couple of days. Ill wait until this issue is fixed and then upgrade again.

Not only the feeble wan glow that tehy give out but I want to be able to switch a light on and actually be able to see, rather than switch a light on, wait five minutes for it to warm up, then be able to see :(
