Today, it seems that camera options are limited to two choices: small, sleek, but ultimately lacking in advanced functionality point-and-shoots, or ultra-adjustable, powerful, but clunky and heavy DSLRs.  The designers at Pentax (in collaboration with renowned designer Marc Newson) have created a camera that combines the best of these two things into one.

The camera’s body is compact and elegant, with vintage styling and simple controls.  The camera’s guts, however, are equally impressive.  It features a 16 megapixel image sensor capable of capturing both stunning still photographs and 1080p video at 30 frames per second.  The real kicker is that the K-01 accepts all K-mount lenses, giving this camera nearly unlimited versatility.

For the photographer shooting for National Geographic, this camera may not do everything it should.  However, most people are not shooting for National Geographic.  This camera provides more than enough functionality for amateur and serious photographers alike with styling that makes lugging around a camera look much cooler.
