One could hope. On the other hand I think that maybe they hired an
outside consultant to put lipstick on this pig.

I think (hope) that the K-01 is really a prototype and that a more
refined, smaller, etc. K-02 will follow. The K20 was the K10 fixed,
as was the K5 to the K7.

I'm pretty sure that this /is/ a mirrorless camera targeted at the

I think that's likely to happen eventually. The K-01 is intended for
newbies (to both photography and Pentax) but I expect a mirrorless
camera targeted at the Pentax faithful before too long.

Now that I thi
I understand that the uses I mentioned use power. I also noted that
it would not be difficult to have a physical catch for the mirror.
It's not a priority for Pentax to offer it, so it probably will never
happen.

mirror assembly t
All those methods use power, which is sucked out of the battery. Larry

think it's likely given that it would probably require a complete
redesign of the mirror/shutter mechanism. Electronic lockup, as you've
noticed, is easy.
Mirror Slap would be an excellent name for a band, especially one made
up of guys old enough to actually remember what mirror slap was.
When this 52 year old looks in the mirror in the morning, it is
definitely a mirror slap.

I noticed that mirror slap was much quieter with the MZ-3 and ZX-5n.
and while those mirrors were a bit smaller than the LX mirror they
weren't all that much smaller. The *ist-D seemed to use the same
mirror box reflex mirror assembly that the MZ/ZX series film camera used.

They've managed to find a way to keep the mirror up for sensor
cleaning, live view, and video... Adding a catch to keep the mirror
up is not a major ordeal.
