Maybe I'm missing something, but is the live view on the K-01 that much better than the K-5's? I don't see improvement on the K-30 relative to the K-5, though supposedly the K-30 is better. Also, I find that my macro work is far improved by having an articulated (or at least tilting) screen, and I thought the K-01 had one, but discovered I was wrong when I went shopping this morning. Finally, AFAICT the K-01 doesn't have TAv mode, don't you miss that? (It's one of the things I'm loving most about the K-5.) -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
