Pentax Q is the smallest and lightest mirrorless camera in the world. The baby weighs 180 grams. But than hearing seven times, it’s better to see this once:
The main chip Pentax Q - design. The camera looks both old-school and modern at the same time. True, ergonomics are not ideal: in the big hands this baby is unreliable.
You can’t count on luxurious Pentax Q photos: in addition to its compact size, Pentax Q also has the smallest mirrorless matrix (1 / 2,3) among all mirrorless cameras, which, in theory, is the camera’s weakest point. Is this so - will find out a lot of testing, which is just around the corner.
The assembly is amazing: the body is monolithic, made of magnesium alloy, and covered with rubber in front. Nothing creaks and does not stagger. Kruglyashok on the front panel - switch preset settings The
resolution of images in Pentax Q is 12.4 megapixels. The camera can record video in Full HD format (30 frames per second) and shoot in bursts of five pictures per second. ISO Working Range: 125-6400
The small Pentax Q enclosure also fits a flash that pops high above the enclosure. But there is a feeling that the mechanism will last for a short while. Although you can take pictures with a flash without getting it out of the case.
You can view pictures on a three-inch screen with a resolution of 460,000 pixels. The device received its own bayonet mount, also marked with the letter Q.
At the bottom of the camera is a tripod socket, microHDMI and A / V connectors. On the side there is an SD card slot, and on the top there is a hot shoe on which you can put a GPS module, an optical viewfinder or even a huge 550EX flash, which is as large as three Pentax Q
cameras. Five lenses are already available for Pentax Q: 35-, 47- , 100- and 28-83 mm, as well as a 160-degree fisheye
At the time of publication of the review, the camera was already on sale at a price of 29,600 rubles per whale kit. The slightly overestimated price tag can be explained by the fact that while Pentax Q is sold in only one online store.
