AndrewG NY: DPReview did this camera a bit of a disservice with sloppy scaling of their side-by-side with K-5. If you compare pixel measurements with the hotshoe and lensmount (which should be identical with the two cameras), you'll see the K-01 is oversized a bit -- in reality it's not quite as big as it looks next to that K-5.
I did a transparency crop overlay of the hotshoes, they look the same to me.

rjx: I think people really interested in this camera should turn their focus on the Canon G1 X instead. Or if they insist on interchangeable lenses, the Sony Nex cameras are hard to beat.
But I feel these small interchangeable lens cameras are a waste. You still need a bag to carry it and the lens's and accessories around. IMO an entry level DSLR is the way to go. You get a nice viewfinder and you won't sacrifice quality and features to save a little size and weight.
If you learn the proper techniques of how to hold your DSLR while using, the strain is none to minimal.
For transportation purposes, buy a great quality bag with a nice shoulder strap. Take a look at thinktank bags.
IMO these small, sleek interchangeable lens cameras are a gimmick.
Agree.
I would really like to see Nikon put this sensor in a fixed lens compact camera. That would likely be a good compromise between camera size/quality.
You could then build a much smaller than G1x camera, with better quality than micro-sensor cameras.

Try comparing it with a lens. You do know you need one to take pictures.
Here is with the smallest m43 kit lens on the market, the overall thickness ends up similar: http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canong1x/images/sidebyside-gx1.jpg

There are science demos of similar that don't even need cameras:

While this was shot on camera, the point of this one is you see it real time, in person without a camera frame rate interacting with the frequency of the sine waves on the strings, the strobe effect of the background does a similar thing.
While rolling shutter may have played a small part. The biggest part that lets you see the waves in the first place if frame rate interaction effect.

Deleting the AA filter from a camera at the factory shouldn't increase it's price.

I think this would be a great sensor for a standard pocket camera.
I really don't care about interchangeable lenses on a small camera, they serve mostly to make it bigger.
At least the Sensor is much larger than micro-sensor used by the Pentax Q.
Seems like a very nice package.
It all really comes down to image quality and we have no idea at this time.
This is actually the review I will be most interested in seeing.
Because this is new CMOS from Canon and I like pocket cameras and might consider this one.

It doesn't look like rolling shutter effect to me (on the guitar).
Just the result of frame rate interacting with periodic motion of the strings.
The only reason I have any interest in a M43 or NEX is for the larger sensor, when compared to compacts.
This things is a Joke in bad taste.
I would spend less money and get "large" sensor Canon S95 before this.
