Last year's Pentax Q digital interchangeable lens camera was only the beginning for this company in the DIL market.
Today, Pentax has announced a second DIL camera, the Pentax K-01.
The K-01 isn't quite as small as the Q, which I reviewed recently, but it still looks like a very interesting camera, especially because it can accept any Pentax K lens. As far as I can decipher, this is the first DIL camera that can accept lenses originally made for DSLR cameras.
Obviously, carrying a DSLR-type lens mount makes the K-01 a bit bigger than other DIL cameras. Still, the K-01 is smaller than many DSLR cameras.
I'll have more details in my blog on the K-01 when it's available for sale in March, but look for it to cost just under $1,000 with a starter lens.

Pentax? Sorry but not familiar for me. I still support nikon and infact I bought an L120 yesterday from digitalcameraleague.com — it was an awesome deal!
