The GX7 is very cool but much larger and more expensive. I agree that Pentax's reluctance to embrace the EVF (even as an option) is unfortunate. I find myself hoping that Pentax will release a...

In a sense, Pentax has done themselves and Q-system shooters a disservice by not coming up with a better standard zoom -- the 02 is not terrible but it's not that small and its specs compare...

I think the reviewer has done potential Q-system shooters a disservice by not putting more emphasis on the 03 Fisheye and 06 tele zoom, as these better differentiate the system -- no advanced...

"The Q7's helpful auto magnification function (available when manual focusing the 01 and 02 Standard lenses) is not available with these toy lenses. "

Not sure if reviewer is aware that...

The new sensor is just slightly bigger. There's still a large 'conversion factor' for ultra-tele with adapted lenses. There are still no alternatives that combine 1/1.7" sensor with...

Zoom & flash are probably the biggest differentiators between smartphones & dedicated cameras, but the Samsung with zoom seems to compromise the phone too much -- how many want a point &...

Fortunately for Sony, in USA big-box stores they don't have to compete much against Panasonic m4/3 because most stores don't sell them. Sony will face Canon Rebel and Nikon 3xxx / 5xxx here. ...

I'd say good for those who consider EVF a prerequisite rather than EVF-__lovers__, as it has a pretty mediocre EVF.

Seems this approach would work well with a camera with a reasonably full-featured wi-fi-connected smartphone remote control app.

"while pentax Q lens lineup is lacking in many areas and there are no signs of anything new for a long time now."

I don't think I'd put the N1 mount in any sort of competition for...

I call bull too. It really depends on the individual -- I've seen many horribly disfigured mobile phones owned by girls, either from them getting battered inside their handbags or from dropping...

I'm actually kind of excited that non-Japanese markets are starting to get the chance to get the custom-colored gear early enough that they're not having to make the choice between paying MSRP for...

None of the cameras you mention offer a fast f2.8 tele zoom or a fisheye. I will concede that the max aperture of the 02 zoom is slower than I'd like at the long end. The Q is also smaller than...

The ur-Q's BSI CMOS 1/2.33" sensor was very competitive with its 1/1.7" contemporaries like LX5, S95, etc. It also helped that most of these were equipped with zooms slower than the 01 Prime. ...

This is good to hear...I too prefer the look & shape of the ur-Q.

IMO Windows 'peaked' with Windows 2000. The Windows 9x / Me releases were steaming turds in comparison. NT4 was OK but lacked some modern features like plug-n-play hardware support. XP didn't...

Not knocking the K01 but its lack of phase-detect AF was another issue vs. DSLR. The K01's AF was especially mediocre when released, though it improved considerably with firmware updates. It did...

Consider me another doubter of the 'accuracy' claim. I believe EVF's all offer 100% coverage, while relatively few optical viewfinders offer this. DoF evaluation is another case -- optical...

Pentax has made DSLR bodies arguably smaller than this in the past -- though not usually lighter. I believe there are a few Pentax bodies that were shorter and narrower than this but Pentax bodies...
