Fashion Photographer Tested the Q



http://www.adorama.com/ALC/BlogArticle.aspx?alias=The-Pentax-Q-Stress-Test-Day-1

Btw, I see nothing stressy at all although it is said so!

The posted samples are from ISO 320-6400. As you can see, those pictures are really small in size. As usual, for those web-sized photos, they should look okay whatever they are produced from, even with cameraphones, frankly.

Nevertheless, that fashion photographer seems to be quite like the Q. She tells us that her Canon 7D and 24-70/2.8 were put aside because of the Q (with the prime lens mounted, as seen from the EXIF). So, this must be another big victory by Pentax, whom has successfully entered the professional commercial photography field and kicked Canon out of the market, at least for instance! ;-D

While I agree with you that resized down photos always tend to look good, I think you are again, missing several key points made in the article. The autofocusing being fast, the ergonomics being well thought out. Even at the resized down shots, in those conditions the camera is behaving fast enough to allow the photographer to do it and the tones being out of camera jpegs - not raws at all i snot bad at all. The shots do have a certain "presence"- usually what comes out of a good lens, micro contrast, etc.

So this puts in the end part of the problem- I don't know what kind of photography you do or what your knowledge of photography really is but looks like a real world photographer likes and uses the camera well while you keep scratching your head based on technical numbers...
Next, let's get the Q on a manned space mission and kick Nikon out.

Mine should arrive next Tuesday from Adorama, in black of course, since the white one is for girls. And don't worry, I'll use it the way such a tiny camera was intended, out on the street shooting women's asses.

(Seriously, I did order one, thanks in part to this article. Yes, I have money to burn.)
I do some street shooting and really this camera has images that beat my old pentax ist D...expeically in high iso. This would be a perfect replacement...
