Of course, this does not mean that K-0 1 is a failure as a camera product. It inherits Pentax's later electronic system and K-5 photosensitive element of the same grade. K-0 1 is still a good machine with the DA40mmXS lens built for it. Just holding K-0 1 in your hand means that the camera in your hand is not only a camera, but also a blessing for contemporary designers.

Let me briefly talk about the origin of MarcNewson, the designer of K-0 1. According to the information provided by CEO Pentax, his works hit three high prices before the auction. Almost all his products are collected by major art galleries, and jewelry and luxury watch design are also his specialties. In addition to plastic design, he has also handled many classic vehicle designs, such as DassaultFalcon900B private jet and RIVAAquariva speedboat bought by many celebrities, which are also MarcNewson's top artworks.
Product name Pentax -0 1 form APS-C mirrorless fuselage loop connection is compatible with Pentax loop connection photosensitive element APS-C 1 630 pixel photosensitive element, with SR hand shock prevention technology, ISO can be extended to 100 ~ 25600 focusing, 8 1 point contrast autofocus, with LED auxiliary focusing, Continuous shooting's 6 fps LCD has a 3-inch 960,000-pixel shutter 1 time-lapse photography can be set to 1 second, with a maximum of 24 hours, and it can shoot 999 videos 1080p30fps and 720 p 60 fps at most. The built-in stereo microphone of 264 and MPEG-4 (not available in photography) can additionally expand the microphone storage medium SD card, SDHC card and SDXC card battery D-Li 109, and can take 540 pictures, with the size of 122x79x58mm, the weight of 480g and the battery of 561g.. Designer MarcNewson's price is expected to be within NT$ 30,000, with a fixed-focus lens, but all MarcNewson's designs have one feature, which is high. But K-0 1 is a mass-produced product that Pentax spent a lot of money to be hired by Mark Newsom. It is designed with the three starting points of immortality, trust and emotion, and is printed with MarcNewson's bronzing signature.
The starting point of immortality, trust and emotion has a lot to do with Mark Newsom himself. He was originally a fan of Pentax6X7, a traditional Pentax film camera. When he first designed this camera, he insisted on the impression of 6X7 and wanted to make a camera with excellent imaging ability and pleasant and reliable use experience. Therefore, the fuselage material insists on using aerospace metal and leather. Just like his art design, he is quite bold in modeling and color matching, and even changed the lettering of the name of Pentax camera.
In front of PentaxQ, K-0 1 is not only one size bigger, but also the most heavyweight lens-less interchangeable body OlympusE——M5, K-0 1 is not inferior in weight. However, if the size of the handle and the key space are properly configured, when you hold the fuselage with one hand, you will not be unable to press any keys on your back or let your fingers be pressed by the handle.
The grip design of K-0 1 is also unique. Just like the touch in MarcNewson's Three Starting Points, K-0 1 is surrounded by thick rubber, and the protective cover of the memory card is also made of rubber. However, in order to avoid accidentally touching the memory card and ejecting it, a protective cover is added outside the memory card to ensure it.
The difference between K-0 1 and K-r button configuration mainly lies in the addition of HDR mode of red button and dial. Pentax used to have a green button design, which was mostly used to cancel some mandatory functions such as forced aperture or forced ISO cancellation. What is the purpose of the new red button? Just go directly into video mode, but I forgot to test whether I can take pictures in this mode today. As for the video effect, I'll talk about it at last.
As for DAM40mmXS tailored for K-0 1, it is an interesting work of old wine in new bottles. The basic optical structure inherits PentaxDALimited's first classic work DA40mmLimited (also from the manual age), but the material is simplified, and the block of the mirror body is modified to achieve ultra-thin design.
White K-0 1 is loaded with old DA40mmLimited. Have you noticed? When DA40mmXS is focused, only the middle 27mm block will move, while DA40mmLimited will move with the whole 49mm outer diameter. Structurally, the depth of field ruler and the convex frame for locking the protective mirror are also missing, so the thickness is reduced. However, the DA40mmXS is still compatible with the existing Pentax fuselage. As for the concept mirror going deep into the fuselage exhibited by CP+ this year, only K-0 1 can be used.
If the disadvantage of K-0 1 is weight, then the biggest advantage of K-0 1 is that it is compatible with all Pentax shots. The two catwalks in the activity are digital telephoto star shots and 18~55mm shots respectively.
There is no denying that ... the proportion is quite terrible after it goes up ... but the advantage is that it is still a competent subject with PentaxDALimited series of biscuit mirrors.
As for the actual combat part, K-0 1 adopts contrast focusing because of the lack of reflector. Compared with K-5' s LiveView, the response speed of focusing is not much faster, and it may be able to accommodate video recording. Although the sound of the fuselage focus motor is smaller than the previous model, the driving speed seems to be slower, and the focus response in the dark part of the field is also poor, but it is generally good in the bright part.
How is the shooting effect? This is a fake Baba shot by ISO200 in K-0 1P mode with DA40mmXS flash (the real Baba is not that high). The second picture is a partial shot of 1: 1. Although the focus is not on the face but on the lens, the details are well preserved.
In addition, this is a local cut made by ISO3200 with K-0 1P mode and the aperture of DA40mmXS fully open, and the details are well preserved. If it can accept the weight of nearly 600 grams (major premise! ), the picture quality of K-0 1 is quite excellent.
In the video recording part, although you can press AF key to focus automatically during video recording, the result of today's trial recording is not as fast as that of forced manual focusing, Orz.
