That was my sense as well Paul. In any case, it reminds me of the K-X which was clearly a lower-niche product but did some things (high ISO w/ low noise) better than its then-current more expensive big brother. The K-01 is a lower-niche product which apparently incorporates some software/firmware improvements; I am sure we'll see further refinement of those improvements in the next DSLR.
