When is a camera more than a photographer"s tool? The answer is when it"s an object designed by Marc Newson, one of the most acclaimed and influential contemporary designers. The PENTAX K-01 marks the intersection where high technology and high design meet. Pentax goes its own way with a mirrorless camera that accepts standard K-mount lenses. That means access to a huge back catalog of quality optics without an adapter and a much larger lens selection than most other mirrorless compact cameras. The camera body is also an exceptional object of art as well as an accomplished artistic tool through its design by Marc Newson. Marc Newson is the most acclaimed and influential designer of his generation. He has worked across a wide range of disciplines, creating everything from furniture and household objects, to bicycles and cars, private and commercial aircraft, yachts, various architectural commissions, and signature sculptural pieces for clients across the globe. Marc Newson was included in Time magazine"s 100 Most Influential People in the World. The contemporary, timeless K-01 houses a full array of advanced functions and user-friendly features in a camera body with remarkable form and function. The elimination of an optical viewfinder and quick-return mirror gave Newson more freedom in designing the camera body, and the K-01 showcases Newson originality in every detail. The K-01 (pronounced kay-zero-one) features the designer"s autograph logo stamp on the bottom of each camera.
