There are ugly cameras, then there is the Pentax K01.
Keep in mind this does not have a viewfinder, you have to use the LCD. Lots of times you will not be able to view the screen outdoors because of the glare.
This is a fugly pentax camera (normally they are good looking) and the lake of EVF makes it tough in bright situations. However, this model has the same sensor as the Gen 1 K5. It has the best low light performance of any APS-C sensor camera. Also, the 40mm XS lens is the second best pancake lens around, behind the 40mm Limited DA.
This is the right price for ILC. It's a K-Mount so everything going back 35 years will work on it. You can use the old auto lenses and still get metering and shake reduction. Something Canon and Nikon can't do. Also, for you dirty hipsters you can purchase M39 and M42 adapters and use some really old glass on there.
Missed it...sold out.
