Pentax launch the Q
But then it would not actually be small, it would end up another me-too NEX-sized beast. (And they are rumoured to be announcing just such a camera later this year). But if you want something like that, you can just get an NEX and a k-mount adapter. Pentax has a range of pancake lens, it will not...

Pentax launch the Q
You telling me that the EP1 and the X100 is more like the KR?? IMO it is much smaller than the KR and sit in between the Q and the KR just like its sensor size. But come on just use the same sensor as K5 does on the Q and they got the product right and I am sure that would sell very very well. The Q...

Pentax launch the Q
Here's an interesting ISO3200 IQ comparison between the Canon S95, Pentax Q, and NEX-5. Obviously the NEX is much better than the other two (it has a similar APSC sensor to the K5 I believe), but the Pentax Q is actually significantly better than the S95, and not bad at all. Maybe on a par with an o...

The NEX-5 is streets ahead :oops: still gets it ass handed to it by the kx though... so a k5's aps-c sensor in a bigger Q, combined with a kmount ltd prime will kick all thier butts.:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Smeggy, did you click to enlarge the image? The Q image is much less mottled and a lot smoother than the S95 image. Given that the S95 is an incredibly good compact (check it out against the TX5 on Imaging Resource), this is a good result from the same size sensor. Ok both cameras are obviously thra...

Pentax launch the Q
I think the Q is a lovely, but pricy camera. I expect there will be a market forced price adjustment. At least I hope so.... because the NC-1 will need to be lower priced than the Q, unless of course it comes bundled with an all new leaf shutter lens and k-mount to compete with the nex, nx and 4/3 s...

Nobody expected 35mm film quality from half frame or the Pentax Auto 110, but we had fun seeing what they could do. There wasn't such a reactionary stance to something new in those days. No internet perhaps. Actually I would love it if this camera was like the Auto 100. Because then it would have a ...

Pentax launch the Q
It's a shame the Q won't deliver the narrow dof shots like the marketing images with the girls holding the camera. I'm a bit underwhelmed by the 'dof filter' images posted on flickr, unfortunately. Other than that, the image quality looks acceptable bearing in mind this is more a compact camera than...

Pentax launch the Q
First i thought what the hell are they thinking but after reading the review on imaging resource and how enthusiastic he was about the handling i'm actually wanting one now. Of course it will not have the best image quality out there but the camera seems to be a lot of fun and the IQ still looks ve...

Pentax launch the Q
I'd assume the body only will be but what about the lenses...? and you would need a few of those. I am not sure I am prepared to push that much cash towards a camera with the IQ of a compact and have to maintain two sets of lenses... Let alone that m43 are just as small and with plenty of cheaper b...

If you want discrete ( not scaring people in public ) get a little Sony Cybershot. Latest models have the same sensor as the Q, and are a helluva lot cheaper. I use a Sony TX-5. I've seen those sony but the build quilty is just not it and it's not fun to use them when you want to have a bit more ...

Pentax launch the Q
I must admit I'm REALLY dubious about the Q. It's the first time I've gone "riiiiiiight" when learning about a new Penatax product line. It's just the sensor size; I can't get my head round why they would do it. Surely it's a SERIOUS flaw.

Pentax launch the Q
I actually really like the Pentax Q as a concept. Small enough to carry the camera in one pocket and ALL your extra lenses in another. A two-pocket system. It has appeal because interchangeable lenses potentially give it great versatility and I could carry it with me all the time, including situatio...

on the image sensor size I can tell you this for certian.... I was able to mix video footage from a go pro hero, and the kr with 10-17 fisheye lens, both shot outdoors in good light.... you'd be hard pressed to figure out which was which... in low light the kr blows the go pro away... so I'd think...

Pentax launch the Q
One interesting thought though about the Q. Pentax have said that initially they are not making any adapters for other lenses, but "Are considering it". Now the sensor has a crop ratio of 5.46 over a 35mm, so taking that into account, imagine using one of the Sigma "Bigmas", therefore the 170-50...
