Latest Review Posted	Pentax Q I bought this on a whim when a UK dealer offered the twin lens (01/02) kit for £249 in white. I absolutely love the style, the build quality and the way you can really customise the look of photos. The 01 lens is not quite wide enough for me (a 35mm or wider equivalent prime would be better) so I'm selling that and waiting for that planned wide prime to turn up. The 02 zoom is a joy to use, and feels like a really well-engineered tool. I find the image quality of the 02 just as good as the 01 providing you stop down to f4. Image quality is better than you would expect from a tiny sensor. I find I need to do quite a lot of post-processing but you can get some really nice results. The only real downside is the battery life which is dreadful. Luckily it uses the same batteries as my old Fuji so I have a few spares. It's worth keeping a couple in your bag if you have a long day planned.
