Looks like a bigger Pentax Q. Nice design. I do hope it really performs as well as the K5 but in a smaller form factor. Too bad still no vari-angle screen.

without ovf/evf-Oled, this camera will get a hard time in the studio.

Instead of shrinking the mount, they have shrunk the lens.
That's one way to go about doing it I guess.
In addition this has just become the mirrorless system with arguably the most comprehensive native lens lineup available.
This is also just my opinion but I find it really ugly. Like the ugly love child between a NEX and an Optio.

Any indication anywhere about the price?
I've always wanted a compact camera for more discrete usage during holidays. However, they are usually too expensive and spec-ed too close to a dslr, or too basic and replaceable by cam phone. I'm guessing this is at least 900 onwards?

Where did this image come from?
That is clearly NOT a K-01, but is clearly an APS-C camera with pentamirror/prism and viewfinder.
The flat front on the prism is reminiscent of the *istD which has a pentaprism instead of a pentamirror (although it could just be retro-styling).

I'm not sure if the looks of that camera will eventually grow on me... I think it looks kinda weird, especially the mode dial bit

That is clearly a silver K-5, although it has the handgrip of a normal black K-5

Pricing will depend on whether this comes with an EVF.
Actually it doesn't look like it has an EVF, and the general build quality is rather plasticky so there is a chance that it is fairly cheap.

I'd like an EVF actually, but I think fengwei had also said that there is just a 3" LCD? Of course maybe there's a hotshoe EVF, but that would require a multi-connector port to display imagery on the EVF, I think. Can't tell anything from earlier photos - not close up enough!
without having the benefit of it being in my hand to see how it handles, I can only say it looks ugly. ah man..... where was the MX, where was the LX elegance.. sigh. Perhaps they have another camera lined - up? or how about a 16-50 update to the optics (a fix to the optical performance)? or how about a 23mm prime lens?
sigh
