The Pentax Q: Big Features in a Little Package

The Pentax Q: Big Features in a Little Package

Posted on Jun 23, 2011 by MG3

Filed in: CamerasPentaxQ

There's a lot to like about the new Pentax Q digital camera. It has a slick retro look, five interchangeable lenses and many features of a dSLR packed into a body that's the size of a point and shoot.
The Q slims itself down by ditching the optical finder, mirror box, focusing plate and AF sensor that add bulk to a typical dSLR. What's left inside is an imaging engine with a 1/2.3-inch CMOS image sensor capable of shooting 12.4MP images and recording 1080/30 FPS HD video.
