Pentax k 01 vs sony nex 5t?

The Pentax K-01 and Sony NEX-5T have almost the same sensor: both are 16-megapixel APS-C mirrorless cameras with a 1.5 crop. The choice comes down to mount and stabilisation. The K-01 is Pentax's only K-mount mirrorless camera, has no viewfinder, and stabilises in the body. The NEX-5T has no body stabilisation, so use stabilised lenses for slow shutter speeds.

I'd pick the NEX-5T for its lens choice. The Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS is a sensible kit lens, and the E mount goes much further. On the K-01, the Pentax HD DA 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 ED DC WR is a good all-day zoom. If you already own old K-mount lenses, they fit directly, and that settles it for Pentax.

See the full lists on the Pentax K-01 page and the Sony NEX-5T page.
