Web Analytics RiceHigh's Pentax Blog: P-Q Vs XZ-1 ISO Measurbation (125/100 to 6400)

P-Q Vs XZ-1 ISO Measurbation (125/100 to 6400)

Further to my last report, the "Pentax ISO flower" guy has updated his test and now Olympus XZ-1 head-to-head ISO shots against the Q have been added. Aperture is kept at f/2.8 for all test shots and the FoV (Field of View) is the same. I post below the direct links to those directly-out-of-camera original JPEGs from both cameras for quick measurbation purpose! ;-)

So, how is it compared? Do note that the EXIF are all there (and of course). Compare the image details, colour rendition, noise and etc. Once again, I blog, you decide! Do feel free to state your findings/comments here~

Hard to say anything with these.

I wonder why Pentax is not giving Q to review sites like IR to do studio shots? Nikon 1 studio shots are already on IR.

Maybe Pentax this is deliberate Pentax marketing? Keep it out of the hand of major review sites!

They dared not to do so. Coz the IR test is too detailed and would reveal too many things than Pentax wanted! ;-)

I know for a fact the camera is being reviewed at one known camera site. Imaging Resource took it down because they had a pre production camera. The shots are coming. This has happened to other brands and models so it's hardly a conspiracy time.

At ISO1600, the XZ-1 has plenty of irregular colour noise in the background. The P-Q does not seem to have that

Both are equally bad.

Q has better Chroma noise handling.

Pentax looks much better at 800-3200 to me. At 6400 they both are unusable. I had the XZ-1 for a while though, and I have to say the speed of the lens prevents you going over 400 much of the time.
