It's perfect!

 

Good-looking, exquisite and vintage style, so do the pictures it took. I love it so much, the quality of the pictures are almost as good as a professional SLR but its much lighter and easy to carry. Perfect for girls. Buy the case Amazon recommended,...

awesome little system

 

I've had this camera for a couple months now and simply love it. I was a bit skeptical as I'm a long time DSLR user. Initially, I had concerns about the picture quality of the camera as well as wondering if it was too small to use comfortably. I'm...

Great camera all around and really nice while travelling.

 

My wife and I bought this camera in preparation for our London Olympics trip. We actually didn't open it until we arrived in London at our hotel. We charged the battery for about 2 hours and then headed for our bus tour of London. Being on a moving...

Funky, fun, inspiring, and much better than you'd imagine!

 

Online reviews gave a fairly lukewarm reception to the Q when it was released, partly because the initial price polarized opinions. When the price came down to more manageable levels, I could no longer resist the temptation to try the Q myself. I'm...

Great photographer's tool in tiny package

 

Don't read the paper specs and do the knee jerk reaction of "oh it's a small 1/2.3'' sensor, so it must not be any good." The Q is a great little photographer's tool and a lot of fun. The sensor does better than most think and combined with the fast 01...

Great little camera with proper expectations

 

I have read all the reviews of this little Pentax camera I could find before purchasing. Many people are focused on the image sensor size and various other technical aspects but for me the overall experience with the camera interface, capabilities and...

Exceeds expectation

 

My main camera is a K-x with a slew of Pentax "limited" lenses. So I was a bit concern about the small sensor on the Q. However I am more than please with the image quality. Certainly is in not as good as an APC size sensor. But the results are...
