Great quality camera to use when you don't feel like it.

An excellent quality camera to use if you don't want to carry a DSLR with you. Packed with features and convenience, the camera takes great pictures. The "cute" factor is an added bonus. Shipping via UPS was fast.

Pros
  • understandable even for the old
Cons
  • price that beats the piggy bank

He has terrible concentration!

I had a Pentax Q10. Great camera. I switched to Q7. TERRIBLE CAMERA < LOSS OF MONEY. Photos are always blurry. Pentax needs a firmware update. Who purposely built a crappy camera? Pentax needs repairs. The seller got my hands on the item quickly and I think the seller did a good job. Camera? Bahambug!

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Infinitely slow

Good, versatile little camera

Excellent choice for a small interchangeable lens camera. In addition to its tiny size, it can take almost every other manual lens ever made without modification (using cheap adapters) and also pairs well with telescopes. Don't compare it with bigger cameras, it's SMALL. Due to the size of the sensor, it gives the images a significantly greater depth of field than with larger cameras with the same field of view. With the included lens, most shots are sharp from a few meters to infinity. Compare

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Good camera for travel and play

When I first received this camera I thought I should send it back - the reason is the very small control knobs which are quite difficult to use with my old hands. After some thought, however, I found that this camera offers all the features I was looking for in a compact travel camera: small size, very good (albeit a bit soft) photo quality, very fast shutter response, and a fairly wide range of lenses. to keep me connected to the camera in the future. I kept my camera and am very happy withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Zero

cool cool cool little fancy camera

UPDATE: There are only two weak points in this Q series: 1) White balance (no matter how much you play with it) itself is a small world. However, gamma output also works with the Sony A5000 when rendering in JPEG format (it doesn't matter for any brand if you shoot in RAW format). 2) The lack of a shutter over the sensor (compared to m43 ie e-pm1, e-pm2, gf3 etc) is almost critical IF you plan to shoot moving objects with non-Pentax Q lenses. To be clear, the leaf shutters in each of the lenses

Pros
  • Big selection
Cons
  • Almost everything is there
