Here's an experiment, take your K5 mount a 200mm or longer lens on it
put it into live view hold it at arms length and take a few pictures.
Then try a 300mm. Compare your results to using the eye level view
finder. Don't tell me you always use a tripod with long lenses. I know
you'd be fibbin'. If you use a monopod the issue is worse. It will be
just impossible to use one properly.

Why do we know that long lenses will be problematic? I must have missed that. -T

We've got a pretty good idea how it preforms photographically, the sensor is
in the same family as the K5 the electronic guts of the beast is in all
probability a streamlined version of the K5. It will make photographs that
will be compariable to the K5. Frame rate is 5fps.about like the K7 So
aside from the lack of a viewfinder we know it will preform like a K5. If
it had a decent EVF it would be worthy of consideration as a complementary
body used with a K5 or K7. We know, more or less, that long lenses used
with it will be problematic. Sp there's little enough to discuss except
it's aesthetics.

Yeah, but how does it perform photographically?

It's the weird type styles they used on the body. It looks atrocious.
The PENTAX badge looks squished vertically to make it fit in the space
available. Compare it to the PENTAX on the K-5 or other cameras.
The K-01 label mixes two type styles, and what's up with the goofy 'K'?
I'm more bothered by it looking like a pile of Lego blocks...

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid
a lengthily search.
