If you don’t like ridiculously nerdy camera statistics, you should just stop reading this now because we’re about to geek out. First, the design: it’s Marc Newson (Dom Perignon, G Star, cars, boats, yachts) to the core and it shows in more than just the bright yellow paint job. 16 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor. 3″ LCD. Full HD 1080P video at 30fps with h.264. ISO100 to ISO25600 range. Mirrorless design that works with other Pentax K-mount lenses. The DA 40mm F2.8 XS lens that’s included for the $900 price tag (it’s $750 body only) is the thinnest on the market. Does all of that read like a product description you’d find on Amazon? Yes, it does. We already know it looks good from the pictures, but if we’re spending over $750 on anything the stats better back up the design. The Pentax K-01 does.
