Pentax Q

I wish they would have done what Sony or Samsung did: using an APS-C sensor in a compact pocketable camera.[/quote]



If they did that then what would people say? Oh, it's just another mirrorless system joining the other players. In that case, why would you pick Pentax over m4/3 or Sony for example?



By making the sensor smaller, they can realise smaller lenses, which has been a limitation of the bigger sensor players. The system would now have a tangible difference from existing players.



Of course the concern is they went too far that way. Now they're into compact territory, and I'm not so sure changeable lenses are enough to justify the significant cost over even a high end compact like the HX9V.



Overall, I think there is room for the Q system but only if they don't do a Sigma and get the price down to something more sensible. Given the smaller sensor, I think it should be priced at the lower end of the mirrorless market of today. I don't think the size benefit is enough to justify a price premium.
