I pre-ordered the yellow K-01 body from B&H since I already have the larger 40mm pancake lens and a myriad of Pentax glass.

I'm strongly considering it.

Please let us know more:
- How fast and quiet is the AF
- How good is the focus peaking
- How focus peaking work with manual focus, any magnification etc.
- How the ergonomics work, I find odd location of the Av and dial for Ev compensation
- Still the KAF2? Is that the same crippled mount that need green button to stop down on manual K-mount lenses
Cheers,
Hin

Since you have experience with other MILCs, I'd really be interested in your comments about how the implementation of LiveView compares to that of other cameras. Is it up to par or is it still DSLR-like?

What's the difference between pre-order and order?
I like the colour!

What's the difference between pre-order and order?
One is "order before you can actually buy" and the other is "order when you can actually buy". :)

I really like the rear LCD.

Very tempting! I probably would have preordered, but already own a k-5 and love it. But I'm telling my friends and family about it! mirrorless + pentax lens line up, would be good. I've been getting into large format photography lately, getting used to the large ground glass for focusing... so LiveView only (i.e., no optical view finder) doesn't seem like such a bad idea anymore ;) I hope they got it "right" and the camera is a hit.

Since I just made a big purchase, it has to be on the back burner (family travel plans too). I am interested though. I
wish it was weather sealed though. Question though. Is there a way to stop down the viewer? I'm sure there is, but I
wonder how it would work. Anyway I think it's interesting, likely the future. Still I like a view finder.
