  • One of the things that I am hoping that the Pentax Q does is take higher quality video compared to POV cams. While POV cams are very small and very convenient, their IQ is sometimes lacking. To test the Q agains the Drift HD, I stacked them on top of each other and went for…

  • I’m still working with the Pentax Q and the 03 Fish Eye to see if I can work with this lens on an upcoming motorcycle trip. In our last episode I noted that it’s ok up close but focusing on mid-distance and far subjects was difficult because the Q only has 4x MF zoom assist.…

Here’s a provocative piece that talks about how photography can and should push into new territory. http://jmcolberg.com/weblog/extended/archives/photography_after_photography/ Worth the read. What you do with it after is…


  • Via Flickr:At least Alex thinks so. That’s pretty cool. My last point-and-shoots would run out of steam at ISO400. This much maligned little fella is pumping out pretty clean ISO800 and very usable ISO1600. I’ll admit that like everyone else I balked at the sensor size and the launch price, but at current prices I…


  • It’s just one tomato, actually, but “A Tale of One Tomato Photographed a Number of Times” just didn’t roll off the tongue. So here’s a couple of shots with the Pentax Q. Here’s the first one: This is 1/6s @ F2.5. I’m bracing the camera against the countertop, but still, this isn’t bad – you…
