Pentax Q - very small and very interchangeable
If you believe the Pentax announcements, then this fall the new product comes on sale - the smallest and lightest camera with interchangeable Pentax Q optics. At the same time, the characteristics hint at the fact that we have almost a SLR.
The preliminary price announced for the camera is quite high: $ 800 for a whale kit. Manufacturers rest on the fact that they managed to do the impossible - to combine the small dimensions of the camera, 12.4-megapixel matrix (1 / 2.5 inches, which is comparable to many modern compacts), high speed burst shooting (up to 5 frames per second), low level noise (two times "ha", given the size of the matrix) and a 3-inch LCD display with a resolution of 480 × 320. The camera body will be made of magnesium alloy. In addition, the creators promise that together with Pentax Q five different lens models will be on sale.

In addition to photos, Pentax Q can shoot Full HD video and display it on the TV screen via the micro-HDMI connector. It also has manual exposure control modes, an in-camera image stabilization system and a mechanism to combat dust. Also present HDR mode (three images with different exposure parameters are combined into one to expand the dynamic range). Those. it seems as functionality is quite comparable with full-size fellows.
Pentax Q is available for pre-order and is offered in a choice of white or black. In addition to the camera, five interchangeable lenses will be offered, including a fix and a fish eye, as well as a viewfinder designed for installation in a “hot shoe” at a price of $ 250.
