Pentax K-01 (Body Only, Yellow) price range: $328.31 - $335.18

The good: The Pentax K-01's strengths lie in its use of existing standards; it's designed to use older K-mount lenses without an adapter, and uses Adobe DNG as its raw format. That, plus it has terrific photo quality.
The bad: It's relatively large, and even if you love the design aesthetic it has some irritating operational quirks. The autofocus isn't up to par.
The bottom line: It's a great option if you have a shelf full of K-mount lenses and don't mind missing some action shots, but the Pentax K-01 isn't such a great option for a typical amateur photographer.

- Manufacturer: Pentax
- Part number: 15322
- Description: The K-01 is equipped with a sensor shift shake reduction system. This system moves the sensor in the opposite direction than the one of the camera, so that the sensor remains in the same position during the shooting of the pictures. The K-01 features a large, easy-to-view, high-resolution 3" color LCD monitor. Its wide-view design assures a clear view of the monitor from approximately 170-degree horizontally and vertically, making it particularly useful in low and high-angle shooting.
