I've been afraid to chime in lest I be the lone philistine in the group (as

not so bad to my eye. I would happily carry it right out in the open for all
to see.
It looks OK to me, too.
If I had a stable of DA Limiteds or old primes, I'd be pretty
interested (pending price and specs). But all of my lenses are on the
larger size, and I don't have an overwhelming urge to get a smaller
camera body for the DA* 300/4.
Maybe it would interest me for that reason if it had an electronic
viewfinder, but it doesn't so it doesn't. As I said before, the lack of
eye level viewfinder is purely a money saving measure in this case, and
if I need to save that much money, I'd just buy a K-r. This camera
while not a major disapointment is not one I'm likely to buy. Now if
Pentax had built it along the lines of a NEX-7 with a built in
viewfinder, then at least I'd be interested in looking at it.

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
