I've been afraid to chime in lest I be the lone philistine in the group (as

not so bad to my eye. I would happily carry it right out in the open for all
to see.
It looks OK to me, too.
If I had a stable of DA Limiteds or old primes, I'd be pretty
interested (pending price and specs). But all of my lenses are on the
larger size, and I don't have an overwhelming urge to get a smaller
camera body for the DA* 300/4.
Who cares if the K01 looks like carp?
Where I think it will really shine is in making use of M42 lenses. The
electronic display will compensate for the dark image when it's stopped
down. If it has a good zoom for manual focus, you'll be able to
manually focus them better than you ever have.
It has the potential to totally kick ass for astrophotography and
microphotography. If Ritax puts a decent tethering mode on it, it could
work well for studio work too.
