Well done! Yes those finance deals are rather tempting, Clifton Cameras are doing it too. Had they got the 645D back in stock I wonder, since their last one was looted in the riots?

Therefore I am glad that “Pentax”, probably has a smaller advertising budget than their competition, and hopefully has a better value for money product.

Take care, and remember that all money inwards to a company comes from you the customer.

True, but less advertising = less market share = less volume; which means they'll need to take more profit margin per camera or lens.

No need to apologise Chris. I shouldn't have been so snappy, its easy to misread threads sometimes.

Would be interesting to see some results. Would at least shed light on the common talking point that sensors are now out-resolving lenses. What resolution would you get if you scaled that sensor up to APSC, with the same pixel density?

The exposure comments are nothing to do with the subject of this thread, unless it was another case where a photographer with an issue with his kit has his photographic skills questioned as the first point of call before the actual issue is addressed...

Talk about seeing the glass half empty! The Kr didn't seem to suffer that badly from QC issues, the K5 thing was hopefully a blip.

Here it is, ranked no. 11 (white version). Ahead of any Sony NEX model. And the APSC Pentax DSLRs don't even appear in the top 30

I am not in the Q's target market, and would take a larger sensor over small size any day (at that price anyway), but I'm pleased that new people are being attracted into the brand, and if/when they feel the Q limits them, they will hopefully look to buying a Pentax DSLR as well.

Comment by Pentaxophile posted on Hands-On Q in AP at 07/09/2011 - 09:22

According to reports on the other forum, the Q is going down quite well (to say the least) with young families and couples in Japan. The image quality is light years ahead of any 200 quid compact, and the camera is just plain desirable. Sure there are 'better' options IQ wise, but they tend to be slightly larger and less elegantly designed.

Probably the expected Kr replacement (with 16mp K5 sensor, yippee!)

Have you seen the Nikon section in the Argos catalogue? All the products are like this -

'I AM a Nikon 49mm UV filter. I will protect your lens and remove unwanted glare from photographs, preserving your precious moments just as you remember them'...

... patronising much?

I think Pentax is far enough down the 'irritating' path with 'Pix your life'. The facebook tie-in was quite clever though.
