HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 апр 2012
- We take a look at the new Pentax - the K-01 -(bit.ly/K-01) designed by Marc Newson. With so many mirrorless cameras around, can this be considered a good choice?

I was expecting Kai to rip this one apart (with humor) but quite the contrary I think Kai actually get's the point of the camera which is refreshing. :) And I agree with him, the spirit of trying new things in design should never be trampled on.
Nah it’s stupid. He’s just a Pentax fan is all.
This camera is so incredibly important at the moment. Nikon and Canon are trying to build mirrorless cameras and have to decide between the existing lens mount and a new one. This camera shows how a mirrorless with DSLR lenses could look like...
BIG FACTS!
Lok forgot to add music starting at 4:50. :)
Pretty sure it was taken out for copyright purposes.
Got this in baby blue just for the fun of it. It does a great job as a camera, and gets a lot of attention when out. I still like the viewfinder on my K3, but this is fun. I like the style, many don't, but that's what styles are about. It joins my Q7 (yellow) on the fun shelf.
I have this camera converted to full spectrum and it has taken some ridiculously amazing photos.
I love the DigitalRev reviews, they are informative, humorous and I don't find them bias either giving pros and cons even with cameras as radical as this. Thank you.
Do more Pentax reviews! I'm totally in love with this camera!
Nice image at 9:12 on a subject in the dark. Kai took some great photos with this camera on the fly.
You guys are amazing when it comes to reviews. very Balanced!
Wow, that is a crazy looking piece of kit there!
Most entertaining camera review I've seen :)
The good days of DigitalRev TV
Interesting, intriguing. Could I really use my Pentax lenses viewing the image and the exposure info at the same time, in bright light even, instead of struggling to see what is at the bottom of the finder by turning and shading, in which cases the design is not only not an aid but a hindrance? Think they could make something like this to use at waist like an Autocord?
I could almost hear Weid Al Yankovich's "Tacky" soundtrak playing in background! :D
lol "This banana machine". Love all the reviews, great work and entertaining!
im digging how it looks, may look into it as a starter digital since it should be cheap being two years old and that it isn't ugly and it has a k-mount!
Thank F you actually did PENTAX at some point! Please do it again.
Wow I hope I can afford this! This show is brilliant! Entertaining with enough info to keep me happy :)
Great review I hope one day I will run into u preferably with one of ur models
i appreciate pentax expanding the usage of K mount. now i can have a chance to use my K mount lenses on a mirrorless camera. that's wonderful.
Finally, I'm amongst the first viewers of a DigitalRev video. For a moment, I thought that camera was a toy and that it's a pin-hole camera.
Even for things I'll never myself pickup I watch your videos just to watch DigitalRev.
I wonder why would u really need to change mode dial when camera is on your eye already ??
It would be great if more reviews on Pentax camera to be done!!
Pentax is really wonderful !!
his outfit fitted perfect with that camera :P
class leading mirror-less camera, which is/are? (i really don't know)
This video looks a lot more crisp compared to the other ones. What was this filmed with?
Nice review. I'm curious what you think of Pentax's flagship DSLR the K5. I hear they have the same sensor. Does it still work the same?
Wonder if we can get a discount...
is possible a comparation with the Pentax K5??
oh wow your clothing actually matches the camera pretty well
while taking videos with slr like this one why the brightness changs suddenly?.
i'm thinking of buying a pentax q10 or olympus epm2. I like the epm2, but no built in flash. What do u suggest is better?
I use an old Pentax Spotomatic for B/W. Great to see Pentax breaking some new ground. I actually might consider this camera if it comes at a reasonable price.
seriously! the performance is not what i expected from the appearance lol! great camera! +1
you guys ROCK! continue doing your videos!
i was anticipating a d3200 review!
I really like this camera. It is different and does great pictures. The only negative point is for me the missing Vf, but with such a design who cares about VF. I think I'll get one.
I like your reviews, very different and unique...
Also, I forgot, I'll be using it with an LCDVF, I'm not after a small camera, just a good one. No view finder is no problem really, the LCDVF works great on the K-5 (where I use it for video), why not on the K-01?
what's with that scarf?
Nice twist at the end btw
I'll probably get this for time lapse and video, and for my old manual focus lenses (due to the focus peaking). For the rest I'm sticking with my K-5.
Hi guys at DR I just got a Pentax k-01 and was hoping you would do a review on how meany different Leans availability for this model as well as leans mounts and can you go over focus peaking. I love the show keep it up. ps. I love my banana brick
Love the camera (especially the sensor). What's with that high pitched twitchy tone when the video is autofocusing?
This is way better than the E-M5 review. It's actually entertaining and informative, not a long-running rant.
I own K-01 and I put vintage k-mount lenses on it
I have just tried a vintage self focusing lens on mine and its different in a positive way .
This looks more crisp than the Canon 5dm3 review that was filmed with the 5Dm3. I guess they changed their video export settings. I wonder what they were?
just got back from hong kong the best holiday experince ever
10:42 Kodachrome
very nice momento. Are you ever going to use it? even if you use it, can you even get it developed anymore?
The pentax video looks super crisp too! dang
What bag are you carrying?
dont think you change modes while taking a photo. dont see its an issue of the dials location
Apparently the latest firmware update fixed the slow AF to quite fast. It helped a lot on the K-30 which got the same update.
Just bought it and it performs just as good as my D5100. Biggest issue is no view finder. New firmware is great. Huge price reduction. Isn't that big in my hands because I am probably 3x as big of a guy as Kai. The design is fresh, any real artist can see that. Video is better than most cams under $1000. Really any camera comes down to extremely high end AF lenses with top grade memory cards and of course the person behind the camera. Those are the real reasons behind great digital video.
Could you guys review Nikon P510?? I really want to know about it...
What kind of video camera are you guys using?
A fair review highlighting the strengths of the K-01. I only with the boys at Pentax made the K-01 look more like the Fuji Ex-1. It seems with Pentax being the out of the box leader, they would have went with a retro inspired looking camera.Nonetheless, the camera can be had for a steal online, which makes discovery of its true virtues more likely.
Who'd have thought there are more than 2 camera companies. Amazing.
How about the Canon 24-70mm MKII?
At least this design makes me feel I can toss it around and it will still survive
im going to grab one of this for $ 200 xD Its a pice of... history and i really like the design. Its not a serious camera but it have the capabilities to take great photos.
So grab a nikon d2397923 or canon or any brand camera, it doesn't matter if you do shit photos xDDD
the park must be your fav place to test the pentax
Afraid I don't quite follow your reasoning. How does what the lens _body_ is made of have anything to do with its optical quality? For reference, all current variants of the legendary Canon 70-200 L have a polycarbonate (plastic) lens body.
@ 9:20 why do i always hear the drilling sound in most of your videos?
What is the camera used to record this video?
Can this camera record video(s)??????
would love to see a review of the Voigtlander Color Skopar 20mm f/3.5 SL-II Aspherical Manual Focus Lens for Canon EOS Film & Digital Cameras
can we get some 645d medium format goodness next?
Interestingly, across Victoria Park (where the opening sequence was shot), there's a Furniture Store not far from the Park Lane Hotel -- that would probably have Marc Newson chairs or lamps on display.
Amazing camera! I would buy one! Very good quality, k-5 standard!
Watching this vintage review, buying one in 2024.
What do you guys use to film these videos?
please review the Pentax K5
please review the pentax k-x / k-r and the k-5
Dude I love your reviews and I don't even care about cameras or photography
The floppy flap would be a definite dealbreaker for me. The USB/cable release port cover on my 400D annoyed me to no end.
whats the first song? the sing when hes talking more about the pentax
love it!
Please review the pentax K30 Kai
Please review the Pentax K-30. I want to buy it!
Its video quality is impressive !
What does plastic have to do with the lens performance? L lenses has plastic on its build and they are hella good.
Can ouu do a Diana Mini review?
THANK YOU!!!
Have to add that the space that mirror left inside could be use screw focus to the inside and not to outside with the posibility to have more compacts lenses. Brilliant Pentax!
I @ replied you guys earlier in the week and said I hated this camera. It's not so much the design, which is kind of cool, it's that they removed the mirror but didn't shorten the mirror box. They could have kept the same mount and given away an extension tube with the camera, and developed some great lenses taking advantage of the short flange distance. I know Pentax have had some troubles, but they jumped into mirrorless with a thoughtless technical design.
Also no EVF :(
sound?
I'd like to see a Pentax K5 review
Can you review the Pentax 645D next?
Do a review of the Sigma SD1 since its price dropped dramatically few months ago !!
Since you showed film on the iso test! Please do more AnalogRev and show us Film cameras!! Especially Vintage Rangefinder Cameras!! Please please please!!!
He should become a stand up comic. He is hilarious. Made my day! Thanks :-)))
