The Q - Ultimate Stress Test
Who cares about the sensor size!, it's the image quality that matters. All this speculating is getting a little tedious. Speculating? The sensor sizes of the models compared aren't open to speculation they have been factually documented by even the manufacturers. ( although now a review has spoken...

The Q - Ultimate Stress Test
I'll be interested to see how the Q stacks up against the newly announced Fuji X10. Is such a comparison allowed? "The X10 features a large 2/3" 12 megapixel EXR-CMOS" I see it uses the same sensor as the Q. Another one. And this one uses the same die size and number of MP. Although sai...

The Q - Ultimate Stress Test
I see it uses the same sensor as the Q. Another one. And this one uses the same die size and number of MP. As far as I can tell, the sensors are different sizes. Even if they were, the X10 has been announced after the claim in AP about the Q's sensor being completely new, so the claim would have sti...

The Q - Ultimate Stress Test
Oh wait I was wrong.... confused between 2/3" and 1/2.3" there for a moment. The, cough, Fuji X10 uses a much bigger EXMOR R sensor than the Pentax Q 2/3rds = 58.1mm2 1/2.3" = 28.5mm2 TWICE the area.

The Q - Ultimate Stress Test
Good to see the the author has finally adjusted the comment re: sensor size. On a side note John, I'm surprised that you of all people would post something so far off-topic in the Pentax Digital SLR forum. Unless the spec has changed I wasn't aware the Q was an SLR. Perhaps a new sub-forum ...

The Q - Ultimate Stress Test
Good to see the the author has finally adjusted the comment re: sensor size. And removed all the previous comments from the article. I would have had some respect had he left the comments, acknowledged his mistake and moved on On a side note John, I'm surprised that you of all people would po...

Q Hands-on TheCameraStoreTV
Oh come on Smeggy he means the Q could do for Pentax what the iPod did for Apple - ie turn the fortunes of the company around (more market awareness, more market share, more cash). Don't think it is going to happen.... Not wishing to be pedantic :) but the real back-from-the-brink product was the...

K5 & K10D with AF240FT flash?
I have an AF240Z which works fine on my K10D (subject to the obvious lack of PTTL etc restrictions). There is 8.72v on the front pin relative to the side contacts. I also have an AF260SA (ditto comments) which has 9.44V on the pin Like you I was also concerned about blowing the cammera but ...

What if the Q had been made by a different company?
I've really enjoyed monitoring all the forum discussion on the Pentax Q. It, more than any other recent Pentax product, seems to have divided the Pentax faithful. Some people see it as just the model the Pentax line-up needs, whilst others are concerned that the price is to great considering what...

What if the Q had been made by a different company?
Even if it was make by another company i would have interest in it. There are two simple reasons for that. The Q falls in between, the CSC cameras now out there and compacts. What it has over the CSC is the smaller size and what it has over compacts is that you can change lenses. Besides tha...

What if the Q had been made by a different company?
Well the 'charts n graphs' published by Angela Nicholson in her recent review did seem to put the Q and GF3 virtually neck and neck, and of course both higher than the Canon G12 or was it 13... in terms of DR and noise handling. Funny that... a friend of mine bought a Canon G12 recently. The pics f...

What if the Q had been made by a different company?
Surely killing the Q on IQ is kinda like slamming a Lambo because it's not ecologically sound. I vaguely doubt that Q buyers are the type to worry about crops or indulge in pixel peeping? I don't really need one, but strikes me that surely the point of the Q isn't IQ, it's size. Reasonable snaps...

What if the Q had been made by a different company?
Well for me it's the Price versus IQ. I don't expect compacts with such a small sensor to have a stunning IQ. I do expect a camera ( compact or not ) that costs £600 to have a decent IQ If this was Google+, I'd have +1'd this. Spot on, that's what I feel about the Q. It's quality is great! Then you ...

My first K-5 question...
could I suggest several layers of masking tape around the area first, just in case you slip, your chosen removal tool. Would be excellent advice, normally, but I'd now classify it with sensor cleaning - sounds scary, but get the right tool, and it's easy. In case you're wondering, normally, ...

Pentax Q and other bits of info.
It could be the very same person ambient. Currently they only have two reps covering the whole country. At least they are taking the promotional bit of Pentax seriously now. Have you got the link to the DPR post as it would make interesting reading. Anyway a couple of other snippets that I have ...

Pentax Q and other bits of info.
Anyway a couple of other snippets that I have remembered from lunch, mainly to do with the Q The sensor is covered by a filter in front (bypass possibly) so no dust will get near the sensor at all, as it is a sealed unit. - Good thinking All DSLT sensors have a filter in front of them don't t...
