Q, Q10, Q7, Q-S1? If cost wasn't an option, which would you choose, and why? Are there significant benefits to the smaller sensor Qs?

Q7. Has the larger sensor like the Q-S1 but better ergonomics (a grip) than the Q-S1 (an uncomfortable button).

God knows what got into them with that button. Does it actually *do* anything? It's a blot on the Pentax landscape, truly.

Thankfully the Q7 is nearly identical to the Q-S1 in features, so I have two of them, with the Q-S1 on birding duty where it sits on a monopod and I don't have to touch the button.

And to keep the thread alive...

Nice, John. REally impressed with the shots. Have you used the K to Q adapter at all?

Great for birds. Terrible for birds in flight. I use the DA 55-300 consumer zoom.

Two quick thoughts: (1) lovely bird pix! (2) You can't fool me, man; that's not a camera, that's an early prototype of a lightsaber.

Cheers, Jock

I can't believe how incredibly small that camera system is until I actually held one. I still might need to play with one, as the prices for used kits, bodies and lenses are pretty dirt cheap!!

She dances with the shadows and the blinds and the curtains. Inimitable. Epehemeral. Eternal.

Great shots John, thanks for sharing with us.
Are all images shot with a Q7 camera?
