Simple Solution to the Lack of Viewfinder of the K-01!

Just Do It Yourself, one of the first K-01 beta testers has already made it! See? So, "what's fuss about"?! :-D



Via Russian IXBT Pentax Forum.

Fear not anymore for difficult viewing of the LCD monitor outdoor on a bright day! Lol..

Update (3-12): I have been seeing potential K-01 users have been looking for an external HDMI LCD with cover so as to tackle with this issue, like this:-



(See the product details here (in Japanese) at Sony's official page.)

However, this is just a waste of money as the K-01 simply does NOT even support HDMI video out in shooting modes. So, it is helpless. And, and external large monitor with shelter still isn't a finder, is it? :-o The most mysterious thing is that WHY started trying to find a solution for a lame product that one hasn't purchased? Why's that? >:-o

Good post! I'm laughing my arse off.
I just stumbled upon a surprisingly simple and interesting solution which is much less cumbersome: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=... http://www.clearviewer.com/Products.html

This idea could actually work!

Well, my girlfriends cousin uses one with his D7000 actually, and that one has a viewfinder! This is just like having a huge, 100x coverage EVF, can't see what the problem is, apart of the aesthetics... Of course a mirrorless should be compact, but hey... :P
That looks totally awesome.
Rice, where are you? There are so many Pentax news on CP+ but you are wasting you time crack jokes.

I am Here! What *new* PENTAX news at the CP Plus btw?
What's so funny about that? This is pretty common amongst professional Canon users.
