By the reaction of some camera enthusiasts, no. After all, it lacks a viewfinder, a proper grip, and it comes in yellow! But maybe the camera wasn’t made for them. Here’s an interesting blog about the camera from another perspective:

Some choice words…
The camera is shockingly easy to use, one of those cameras that turns any user–even the most basic user–into a professional photographer: it’s a camera that definitely would scare photographers, concerned that their profession is in jeopardy…The camera is super sexy and just about perfect, thanks to Newson’s design.
Just as interesting as the blog post are the comments below. Sounds like on this blog at least, the K-01 is hitting a nerver…and a good one at that.
