My question would be why use an istD that's missing all its covers and caps
EDIT; it's also a good comparison to show how far Pentax have come over the last several years.

The only rationale I can see is that the K-01 is even smaller than the smallest dSLR Pentax ever made.
But so what? It's a flippin' compact, of course it's going to be smaller.
Still daft.
