Web Analytics RiceHigh's Pentax Blog: P-Q BCN Sales Results have Only been Good for One Week!? :-o

P-Q BCN Sales Results have Only been Good for One Week!? :-o

Last week the Q body (kit) was at No. 11 at best of the BCN "Body" Chart, but this week it has fallen down to No. 47!?



The same has happened for the Q lenses, last week the Fisheye Toy lens was at the Third Place of the Lens Chart, now this week it is at position No. 29!



Now it seems that the sales surge is really instantaneous, and very possibly it is just the delivery and shipment of the 1st lot of pre-ordered goods. So, let's wait for the price drop of the Q then (if you're still somehow interested)! Frankly, at a price of about (US)$400, I might buy it! :-D But I would yet wonder if it could do how much better than my Pentax WG-1 GPS in term of the IQ (and at least mine has the GPS function after all)!

I am not surprised, those who were interested in such a camera AND have disposable income all went in the first week to buy one.

The mass consumers either have NO interest, or have NOT $800 to spend on this toy (I just bought an FA 77 Ltd for 800,mmm wonder what I'd rather have, the 77 or the Q...).

I predict an even more pathetic sales fingure when/ if it gets a West launch.

I know you love your WG-1, but may I suggest you go have a look at the Panasonic FT-3?

Pana is not my cup of tea in term of colour rendition. I have had my GF1 for long but rarely used it.

Color rendition is such a subjective matter, especially for a consumer grade DC. The Panny has the WG beaten on every other aspect it's not even funny.

Love is irrational, not even objective or subjective. I might buy the Q eventually! You know..? ;-D

You know, after thinking about it I agree with you, if something feels right for you then it must be the BEST for you. :)

For example, I think Klaus's review on some Pentax lens are a piles of dodo shit. He relies on pure stats and numbers to try quantify a lens, which has so many stuff unmeasurable like bokeh, usage pattern (what's the point of having a super sharp lens across the frame at extreme border if it is intended to be used as a portrait lens?),

So let me go on record to say you made the right choice on the WG-1 when it fits your needs :)

But, maybe you can also spare a thought for those unquantifiable values in YOUR comments about Pentax products hahah.

Fair is fair. Will be interesting to see how Q sales go in 3 and 6 months.

Wouldn't that be nice, if fools keep rushing in to buy this camera and help finance the real cameras from Pentax, like the K-5, and K-5 and ? (Is that it?) Unfortunately, I think there won't be enough of these fools, and the reverse will happen soon, i.e. the K-? camera prices will have to be raised to help pay for this experiment that will make it the laughing stalk beside the SD-1.
