I know the K-01 is rather fugly and un-compact, but I have had a great time using a pair of these that I got for a song. They have a proven sensor, an impressive range of control, and excellent IQ. I like to use them for macro photography. Sometimes I carry my yellow one with the pancake DA40XS lens mounted to a gathering, because it just doesn't look like a serious camera, putting people at ease when I point it at them. I guess it's an acquired taste, lol.
