I read somewhere yesterday that HI speed could only be accessed when shooting jpgs. If you shoot RAW or RAW+, that option is grayed out. Right now, I have mine set to jpg only & can get it into HI. My husband called it a brick, too...it is dense. But it felt pretty light to me compared to the k-5 + 50-135 combo I use frequently. I don't see myself using big lenses like that on the k-01 too often, but... never say never. Looking forward to hearing your impressions... :) -c > Regards, Bob S. > > On Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 5:12 PM, Christine Nielsen <[email protected]> wrote: >> Well, the K-01 arrived today... a welcome diversion to the midweek >> school vacation scene around here. :) It fits in my hand well, the >> 40mm lens is adorable, if a little pig-snouty in appearance.
