Much niftier than I expected a few months ago, honestly. It looks like a very solid, well rounded camera. There are a lot of advances I see here that would've kept me from going Nikon, had they been implemented on an SLR.
Also, I believe Nikon's new tiny ILC is going to support high-speed shooting at reduced resolution, maxing out the bandwidth on the image sensor... I'd love to see that here... I'd love to see that everywhere, really.
Could you tell me the size of the sensor ? Is it the same than the K-r ? 12 MPx CMOS, looks like it's close. Or is it a new Sony one ? I was wondering if those you use weren't in fact the famous ExMOR CMOS Sensor, but without saying it. Could you reply to me about this ? If not openly, tell me secretly, I swear I won't speak of it if it's forbidden to know it.
Have a nice day, and the Pentax Q is a great camera, you could be proud of it.
@IceFritzLanger The PENTAX Q uses a 12.4 megapixel (effective) backlit CMOS sensor with a primary color filter and integrated Shake/Dust Reduction sensor-shift system. The sensor size is 1/2.3” (6.16mm (W) x 4.62mm (H)). Backlit sensors can offer inherently improved efficiency and low-light performance.
@IceFritzLanger The sensor is much much smaller. The K-r is APS-C and has a crop factor compared to full frame of 1.5x. The Q has a crop factor of 5.5. Nothing close to the same. Still a nice camera though, but it's a compact camera with the sensor of a compact camera.
Wow now I am between this and the fuji x10, this is very nice

I was like amazed throughout the entire video, until I saw the hideous alien-like flash popping out of the camera! xD LOLOLOL

@IceFritzLanger Not even close. The Q has a very small sensor, like a compact camera.

Arf :) too late, I bought a K-r, say thanks to all the people involved in the process of creation .
Thank you for existing, Pentax.
