Well Ricardo - I'm pretty impressed, mostly by your photography, but the camera seems to be performing better than one could reasonably expect (the 6400 ISO doesn't turn me on, but then).Portraits of a friend:
. . . and other stuff
Thanks for the words. Yeah, I am afraid that the Q is being by passed by a few due to false preconceptions (in addition to price). I am still mulling considering a Pen mini + Panasonic F1.7 pancake, but ironically I was checking an ISO 3200 shot of a pen mini and it's a bit funny how impossibly close the Q comes to it in some ways… oh and the Pen had a little banding. I have yet to see *any banding* even when doing ISO 6400 on the Q and pushing it up even one more stop (just for kicks). Oh and the Pen mini has that wheel in the interface I have grown to hate oh so much.Well Ricardo - I'm pretty impressed, mostly by your photography, but the camera seems to be performing better than one could reasonably expect (the 6400 ISO doesn't turn me on, but then).
excellent - you're doing a grand job!
Ok, now, that *is* scary… scary for how accurateWow - I know that expression . . . . She is saying.
You will NOW order that Pentax Q from Jessops and send it to me in the States . . .
IMMEDIATELY
Well… yeah… the Q makes the X10 look too big. I can tell you the difference is even bigger in real life.I just looked at this . . .Wow!
Sadly I've not actually met Terry, but we've been communicating for several years - I'm sure that she's a formidable character . . . . although (he hastens to add) my tongue was firmly in my cheekOk, now, that *is* scary… scary for how accurate
Hmmm - my trouble is that I find that interfaces are like good rock albums - the one's you like in the first instance aren't necessarily the ones you go on to like later on!Well… yeah… the Q makes the X10 look too big. I can tell you the difference is even bigger in real life.

PS: Interface rant- I am so surprised how well thought out Pentax got the interface of the Q. You would think that the buttons on the side where you hold the camera since they end up being underneath your thumb and palm will be accidentally enacted. Not so- the buttons are receded enough with enough pressure so that does not happen.
I don't know which word makes me giggle more formidable or characterSadly I've not actually met Terry, but we've been communicating for several years - I'm sure that she's a formidable character . . . . although (he hastens to add) my tongue was firmly in my cheek
The pre firmware NEX 5 never really annoyed me. Certainly not as much as Michael Reichmann, Thom Hogan etc. and just for Ricardo - it certainly never annoyed me as much as the Oly interface.Hmmm - my trouble is that I find that interfaces are like good rock albums - the one's you like in the first instance aren't necessarily the ones you go on to like later on!
Case in point is the NEX 5 - I bought one when it came out and simply couldn't get on with it . .. . the 5n is a little different I know, but having spent an hour or so beating it into shape . . . . and then practicing lots . . . I find it rather good now.
Well - giggle lots about both I'm rather partial to tongue in cheek myself!I don't know which word makes me giggle more formidable or character
I probably didn't spend long enough on it . . . . but then they probably didn't either. . . . . . and just for Ricardo I agree :thumbup:The pre firmware NEX 5 never really annoyed me.

I say formidable At least I would prefer that one for myselfI don't know which word makes me giggle more formidable or character
Hehehe…. I still think I would pick Olympus on that oneThe pre firmware NEX 5 never really annoyed me. Certainly not as much as Michael Reichmann, Thom Hogan etc. and just for Ricardo - it certainly never annoyed me as much as the Oly interface.
