I haven't been this excited by a new camera since I saw the original GR-Digital for the first time - the Fuji X100 came close but I'd rather have the Q now it's here. I'm like a kid at Christmas right now and I really can't wait to get my hands on one of these - it's almost like the Pentax designers have reached inside my head and built me the camera I wanted, it's genius.
I am a very happy Pentax camper right now.
gotta be honest... if I could afford it... it would be under the tree next Xmas for my littlest boy... he is a budding film maker.... that would be a fine upgrade to his flip camcorder...Offertonhatter wrote:

I think its obvious that PantexExport is way ahead of us all here, following the links to his images clearly shows he has knowledge far beyond my understanding of photography (far beyond anyones I think)
So heres a challenge for him, please give me some honest criticism on this arty farty shot I took of a lady who was completely naked apart from her shoes:

this will find it's way into surveillance and radar cameras first before it makes it's way into consumer cameras.
the point and shoot crowd won't wanna pay more for a camera with this, and the d-slr crowd won't need it as long as they got lenses for thier existing system. But law enforcement and military and gubments would surely like the idea og snapping a shot of a crowd and being able to focus in on one individual or group...

You don't really have any control over the Eye-Fi and it won't work out in the field where there is no WiFi. The point that was trying to be made was that you could take a shot, maybe edit it, then upload to Facebook / Flickr etc.
As an example a lot of my friends on Facebook like to see what I'm up to with my nature photography, so I update them 'live' from my location by taking a photo of the back of my camera with my iPhone and uploading it to Facebook via the GSM network. As it is only a small file it goes up very quickly, then I can read comments whilst getting bored waiting for action!
Obviously in this example, I'm out in the middle of nowhere where there is no WiFi, but within a minute or so all my friends and family could see this:-
A compact camera with a 3g sim in it would do the same thing, but I don't know if it would be cost effective, it's reasons like this that the youth of today would rather take their pictures on a decent smart phone than a compact.

Think you are missing the point there Algi.Eye-Fi cards already upload to websites and there doesn't seem much interest in them from Pentax users.

Eye- fi cards now allow you to create an adhoc network, connect to your phone and send images wirelessly co computer required...

so it'salready doable....

I was discussing the Q with someone this evening and he pointed out that the missing killer app with nearly all these compact cameras, given their typical usage, is connectivity. On a mobile phone, one click take the picture and pretty well one more click lands the picture on a website. No nearly so easy with a camera, though it should be, I think. So I hope one of the first add-ons Pentax produce for the Q is a wifi connector for the hotshoe, and a connector that will upload direct to the net and not only transfer files to a PC. Perhaps Pentax have missed a trick by not building this in from the get-go. It might produce more sales than k adapter mounts and the like.
well for the cost of a k5, a person could get the whole system. Why not splurge for an eye-fi cards while they're at it?I was discussing the Q with someone this evening and he pointed out that the missing killer app with nearly all these compact cameras, given their typical usage, is connectivity.
