Pentax Ricoh updates firmware for Q10 mirrorless camera

Remember kids, camera's are serious business, and should look serious and be serious. There is no fun allowed. Creativity be damned!They should be black and scream, "I am a photographer', just so everyone knows that your job is not something to laugh at as your profession fads into oblivion.

Jerome probably only has a medium- or large-format "bigjob" camera that uses 6"x6" film. Everything smaller is a toy. :)

Well DPR for some odd reason didn't review the first Q, so why would they review the Q10? They want to convince people to be excited about the Olympus XZ-10 with the exact 1/2.3" sensor, but the Q, the first ever ILC with such a chip, they didn't bother with. :-)

As far as Bozo the clown, there are tons of excellent images from the Q, if you care to look, and it performs better than most compact, even ones with larger sensors. But perhaps you'd like to show people images from your serious camera.

DSLRs and major mirrorless cameras, actually...that say Canon and Nikon. Fixed it for you.

I think he meant cameras people actually would buy....

Hey, the Q is actually among the top 10 best sellers in mirrorless in Japan.

Be nice. It actually outsells the NEX-F3 and C3, as well as the Oly E-PL5. Of course, the EOS-M is #3 in Japan, so maybe we shouldn't put too much stock in what they think... http://www.petapixel.com/2012/10/30/the-current-state-of-the-mirrorless-war/#more-84253

I would like to see a review on DPR. I think it's a nice small system. To bad Pentax didn't join M4/3.

I'm mostly just being a wiseguy. I actually have thought about buying the original Q now that they are only $200-250. Could be a fun toy at that price.

"DSLRs and major mirrorless cameras, actually." ------------- how do you know it is not among the major cameras. Do you have figures etc as to how much it is selling etc. The only figure I know of is that Q out-sold OMD in japan in 2012. But then OMD is considered among the major cameras. If you do not have figures to back up then , it is your opinion only and not a fact.

It is somewhat criminal. Smallest interchangeable lens system and dpreview cant manage a review.

I think DPR does a great job with reviews, but it was sort of odd that they didn't bother reviewing the original Q, even though it outperforms most other 1/2.3" sensor compacts and some with larger sensors.

We've gotten already two articles about the Olympus XZ-10, with the gist being that 1/2.3" with a fast lens is an interesting product. But the original Q solid with an f/1.9 prime, and was the first ILC ever to feature a small BSI sensor.

I believe that sensor size snobbery was the main reason the original Q wasn't reviewed because as far as IQ, there's little to complain about with the Pentax Q.
