K01 is a brick with a lens

Hi,

I probably agree with you the K-01 does 'feel' like a brick, but a handsome and well proportioned brick.

I have owned a K200d, K7, KX and currently use a K10, K5 and a Canon 7d.

I have also had the opportunity to play around for a few weeks with a Nikon D7000 which my Manager recently purchased.

By far the K5 is the most ergonomic to use, by a mile. But, and this may sound silly, it does depend on how big your hands are.

My manager has very large hands, so a larger camera suits him better. The K5 is a toy in his hands. Even with the battery grip he struggled to hand hold it. However, with the K10 he didn't have any issues.

Anyway, back to the K-01, it does initially feel a little strange, but the more I use it, the more I'm enjoying its ease of use. Plus my wife doesn't mind using it.

Regards

Pas.
