Pentax launch the Q
I suspect it will be a sleeper hit..... slow to start due to the pricing.... but Pentax will knock one right out of the park with this. If Pentax can do with this Sony sensor what they did with the k5's sony sensor... it won't match the k5, but it will meet or exceed the 4/3's and also have a mas...

I also suspect that given the pro d-slr modes like aperture priority, and the way it has the lens electrical contacts inside the mount... that this li' bugger is backward compatible with the auto 110 lenses. I like it. Won't be buying it. But I am studying it. I figure it was co-developed along...

Yes- if this is a pre-curser to an EVIL with the sensor from the K5 and K mount then that will definately be interesting. Would you pay K5 money for it though?

I suspect it would come in at the $1000.00 mark. a couple hundred more than the Q and a couple hundred less than the k5.....:wink: after all...

Pentax launch the Q
I have been hoping for a K-mount, APS-C sensor mirrorless camera and am therefore deeply disappointed. This Q thing makes no sense at all. Anyone who is happy with that kind of sensor probably does not need interchangeable lenses. A Canon S95 makes much more sense for anyone after an upmarket com...

To Jovan - there IS a further camera to be announced later this year, probably with K-mount. I think they should have announced it first, as there is already pent-up demand for such a product. As far as being ugly... I strongly disagree, although I really don't like the off-white version, which look...

Pentax launch the Q
I have to say Pentax should be applauded for trying something different in the compact interchangeable lens camera market. It really does look a lovely little camera. On the other side of the coin I wonder really who they are aiming at with the combination of price and likely LX3-5/XZ-1 level of ...

If Pentax can do with this Sony sensor what they did with the k5's sony sensor... it won't match the k5, but it will meet or exceed the 4/3's and also have a mass market appeal like none before it. the k5 does in fact hold it's own against cameras with larger sensors according to dxo labs, after ...

Pentax launch the Q
The images on imaging resource were initially at 2000 x 1500, and looked ace at iso1600. Better than samples I have seen from the TX5 which is good for a compact. Sensor development moves on all the time. Of course a bigger sensor would be better, but we knew this was coming, and within the constrai...

Pentax launch the Q
I suspect this will be a huge leap forward from my old g5 I used to love, and these are LEAF SHUTTER lenses with built in ND filters! I anticipate that if a bigger version of this hits the market in the fall with a standard kmount, Pentax will lay cllaim to BOTH the smallest ilc system and the hi...

Pentax launch the Q
I love the way people diss a new product before it is even available. :roll: The market will decide whether Pentax have got this right or not. As to why they put their money into this and not a super-telephoto? Because they will almost certainly make more money from it. Just because a prod...

...with a standard kmount... It won't, Pentax would be very silly if they did. To keep the K mount they'd have to retain the registration distance and they'd lose the biggest advantages of the mirrorless systems; namely size and the ability to mount a massive array of legacy lenses. I predict ...

Pentax launch the Q
I agree with the consensus that this is a toy for the Japanese market - camera fetishists who want a little bling! Totally ridiculous at $800-900 and under-performing with a minuscule sensor. This doesn't answer the needs of the point'n'shoot user who wants better quality, nor the hobbyists who for ...

Thanks to the lens shutter mechanism, the PENTAX Q’s built-in auto flash can even be synchronized to the camera’s top shutter speed of 1/2000 second (or 1/250 second when using an accessory flash unit). Can we have that on our DSLRs please?! :) Sure. It's called HSS. :-) The 1/2000 with the interna...

I just don't know who they are aiming this at. Yes, it is the smallest CSC, yes it will probably have the best optics for the sensor, but, I am not sure. It is too expensive, not much smaller that the NEX-C3 and GF3, and that sensor! If it was based on the 1/1.63" of the fuji and panasonics of t...

I don't know who they are aiming this at either. It's a Sony Exmor R sensor AFAIK. I don't know of any other Sony backlit sensors. Tiny little thing about 7mm across I think ?? Maybe Pentax are goign to relase an APS-C compact as well. I hope so.

I ask all supporters if they are really happy with an f/10.5 lens that is diffraction limited at all apertures. This isn't an outfit to replace a DSLR, it's to replace a compact with the highest quality possible within those constraints that a compact demands. There are many instances where a sma...

There are many instances where a small sensor is preferable to a large one; macro and eBay shots benefit from an increased DOF for any given aperture, and telephoto benefits to the tune of insanely long effective focal lengths with relatively little bulk (and fast apertures unheard of on a DSLR for ...
