The video on tops shows the AF speed of the new K-01 camera paired with the new 40mm super pancake lens. Not a bad performance but also not extremely good :)

Pentax also unveiled the new lens roadmap (via PB and PR):

• 50mm DA standard lens (2012)
• 18-200 DA high magnification zoom lens (2012)
• 12-28mm DA wide zoom (2013)
• 24-38mm DA zoom limited lens (2013)
• 120-380mm DA tele zoom (2013)
• 18-85mm DA zoom lens (2013)
• DA AF RC 1.4x teleconverter (2013)

Guess which camera is on top of the mirrorless camera ranking at Amazon (Click here to see the ranking)? Despite the high price the Fuji X PRO 1 (click to preorder now) sells like hotcakes! A wonder how sales will be in Europe were preorders didn’t start yet. I guess Fuji was serious when they told us months ago that they want to become the number three of the digital camera market!
