The new Pentax Q10 marks the company’s extension of its Q system. This interchangeable lens camera is complemented by the Adapter Q for Pentax K-mount lenses and Q-Mount Pentax 06 15-45mm f2.8 telephoto zoom lens.
The Q10 is said to deliver ‘exceptional’ image quality owing to the included CMOS image sensor with high sensitivity and low noise traits. It renders a 12.4MP resolution for visuals and a sensitivity of 1SO 6400. The AF performance has also been upgraded as it is claimed to be faster and work well in dim conditions or while using a telephoto lens.
“Not only does the new Pentax Q10 have a tiny footprint but it packs a powerful punch when it comes to picture taking, especially when compared to any smart phone or digital point-and-shoot camera,†expressed John Carlson, Sr. Manager of Sales and Marketing, Pentax.
“With the availability of a K-Mount adapter for the Pentax Q-series of cameras, we have extended this camera category to fulfill endless photographic possibilities for Q users, who can now use any one of 25 million Pentax K-mount lenses with their Q system,†added Carlson.
Some other features of the Pentax Q10 camera are inclusive of HD movie recording capability and an SR mechanism to proffer sharp images. The integrated Bokeh control function allows the subject to stand out amidst ambient objects. To reproduce the right picture for the moment, the camera supports easy-to-use Auto Picture and Scene modes.
The Pentax snapper offers built-in auto flash, tags along a DRII mechanism to take away dust particles and provides high speed continuous shooting at the rate of 5 images per second. The gadget is equipped with 4 exposure modes namely, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Programmed AE and Metered Manual to appeal to individual preferences and different photographic applications.
Going by the Pentax Q10 price and release date information, the camera will set users back by $599.95 starting from October.
