I have no regrets at all regarding purchase of the K-01. When it first
was announced I contemplated getting one and replacing my K-7 with it.
The K-7 is just a backup for my K-5, and sees virtually no use. I am
beginning to think that the k-01 could fill the backup role *and*
provide value by being the go-to camera for macro work. It certianly
will be the main camera I use for snow flakes and I am sure it will be
outstanding for spring wildflowers. (Yea! No more mud on the face from
scrunching my eye to the finder on a camera mounted at ground level!)
What remains to be seen for me is if the K-01 will work with insects. I
can't wait to test that out, but that will be a few months off.
For general shooting, the K-01 seems to be fine, but I have not tried to
use it outdoors in the bright sun.
I would, however, say that if a DSLR body had live view that supported
focus peaking, I would have no need at all for the K-01, though even
then the price might tempt.

B&H still has the bodies in your choice of colors for $299. Get one
with the DA40 for an extra $60.
