Someone sent me this (fake) K-02 image. It has a viewfinder placed in the corner. That would certainly be a nice addition on the K-0 series. As you know the K-01 has been marked as discontinued but it has to be seen if a K-02 will ever be made or not.
Thanks to the anonymous sender of these images! Click on it to see the full size version:

It’s most definitely rendered, you can see it in the textures of the camera and I’m pretty sure that Pentax wouldn’t keep the same layout of the buttons if they are going to stuff a OVF in the body. Would be nice but that’s not the real deal just yet.
Yes because that makes SO much sense! This is as FAKE as they come. That and they wouldn’t just reuse the design like that with a tacked on window / viewfinder. This is some little fanboys lust piece (badly done)
Awful, anti-aesthetic design.
Given Pentax’s history and taste, it is as real as it can be! Wonderful! 😀
Pentax K mount flange distance is very long and so a K mount based mirrorless camera must be too thick. They should redesign the concept and create an entirely new mirrorless system. Existing Pentax K lenses could be used via an adapter. A viewfinder and a tiltable screen are also highly desirable. And a camera designed by a photographer, please.

Wow, i hope they don’t do something like this. The k-01 was horrible enough, we don’t need a remake…
I liked though that K-01 can be put on flat surface in portrait orientation without tripod.
Everyone who actually had one loved them they were fun to use and produce extremely good image quality
lol.. no they don´t.
of the 8 who bought it… 5 hate the camera.
Whether or not a camera like this features incredible technology, it is absolutely disgusting looking.
ugly toy kamera… pentax should quit….
I don’t think about how people think. Because most don’t. I brought the K-01 about a month ago as a backup to my K5. It takes awesome pictures. I now use this camera more then I use my K5. I think people worry to much about looks instead of what is inside the camera. I paid $295.00 new for this camera and am completely blown away with the results. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The main thing how does it take pictures. Not looks. Get a life and look outside the square. Nealy all reviews I read said The K-01 had the best images in its class. And I agree.
