Pentax Q-S1 1/1.7" Mirrorless Camera (2014)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Pentax Q-S1 is an entry-level mirrorless camera in the Pentax Q-mount system. Introduced by Pentax in 2014, it comes with sensor with 12 MP (4000 x 3000) resolution that covers the 1/1.7" image circle.
The camera has a poor battery life, and a second or third battery may be needed to get you through the day. The Pentax Q-S1's 5.0 fps burst rate limits its use for certain types of photography, but it is hardly something that most photographers should worry about.
