K-01: A Failed Experiment

I was asking for an entirely new mount mirrorless, not a K mount mirrorless

No VF is fine if you have an articulated screen, or at least some anti-reflective coating on the display. The same features missing on the Q make it hard to use too, to the point where I miss shots because I can't see what I am doing, and no I am not putting a huge sun shield on the back of a little tiny Q.

I think they should have put it in a non-designer shell and sold it for half the price from launch and it might have done a lot better. If you are going to put a premium price on it things like viewfinders become more necessary.  Or, given it a nice EVF and very fast buffer performance for RAW, etc.  I think the camera was around $750 new with no lens?  Body wise it was well built, but it didn't have selling points like similar priced competitors.
