Paul,
The problem I see with your sales pitch is that is fails to account
for those users who are growing *into* mirrorless, not *out* of it.....
That's just the point - this isn't a camera aimed at that segment of the market.
Pentax now has two cameras that are completely different to the rest of the market,
and therefore aren't competing with Sony, Panasonic etc. If you want a truly
pocketable camera, then there is the Q - nothing else is that small. If you have
vague aspirations to go further with your photography then the K-01 is a way of
hedging your bets. At this point Pentax has to be different from the rest of the
crowd, otherwise their mirrorless offering would sink without trace, just like
their P&S cameras.
Sadly Pentax doesn't seem to be competing period. It's one thing to be
different. But there's only so far different will take you. They
should have at least have made provision for a decent accessory EVF.

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