I don't agree at all. Although I don't like the looks of this camera, and don't
like the whole EVF thing, I really like the simplicity of the controls, which
is also one of the things I like about the M cameras.

Actually I never thought I'd say this a few years ago, but now that EVFs
have been improved I don't really have a problem with them. People
touting how good they were 5 or 6 years ago should have been keel hauled
but now, they're really quite usable.
If I can only have one advanced camera I want an SLR viewfinder, but in
an ideal world, I could have one of each that both used the same lens
system.
Unfortunately the K-01 was not that camera.
As an aside, for real rangefinder heads the Fuji X-Pro 1 must seem like
the best of all possible worlds, a excellent OVF, and an excellent EVF
in the same body, unfortunately it falls just short of perfect IMNSHO,
due to the lack of rangefinder in the OFV. (It would probably be
impossible to project an electronic rangefinder spot onto the proper
place in it's OVF, but I can dream...)
