(English Here (Machine-translated))

Studio scene ISO tests from 125 to 6400, with different NR settings, are conducted.



Besides, the Fake "Bokeh Control" (BC) plus other digital filters are tested. Different image tones and profile on the same scene are also checked.

At last, some real-life full samples are posted.

... It still doesn't justify the $800 price tag.

Pentax will soon reduce the price to $400 if it doesn't sell! ;-D

But, I bet the Q will be appealing to those novices in particular the young girls who are looking for an ILDC just for the sake of interchangeable lenses! So, it might succeed at the end as it is just the smallest, no matter for the body and the sensor! ;-)
I have to say most sample pics appear to be better than expected. Although IQ is still way behind the NEX, the Q is the most portable semi-pro system on the street. Pentax seems to have spent more time and money on the software and the supporting hardware (other than the sensor). X10 should be a close alternative but it does not have the flexibility to swap lens (for fish eye, super tele effects or just for fun)
