AND ANOTHER ANNOUNCEMENT

I'd love to see a picture of a silver Q.. although I think silver will be a little mismatched on it

Thing is, Pentax hasn't announced it yet! Plus, it's just a plain old Q with a different color!

But everyone knows that Silver is the most special color to Pentax of all! Imagine seeing a FA* lens on the Q, now it'll match!

Yup. I know its just a new color for the Q but in the context of 2 new cameras, multiple new K mount lens announcements, a Q-to-K adapter, tethering, etc. I thought this just added icing to the cake - you know, the cake that all the Pentax is DOOMED folks are eating about now.

All I can say is ..... FINALLY!!!! Pentax has at last heard and responded to the crys of this community.

[bobmaxja]

Like we say in french

Bravo

[Adam]

I made your link a little more patriotic- hope you don't mind. Plus, I think you'll appreciate the humor! Good luck on getting a silver Q if that's what you're after

[arpaagent]

Wow, the Q actually looks like a nice little camera with that paint job.

[SteveM]

Crazy number of announcements coming out of Pentax....it's refreshing.

[JinDesu]

Just saw the picture, it looks just lovely in that color scheme! Almost like a mini film camera!

[Rupert]

I'd say it looks better than my X10, I love the looks of it! If it had a viewfinder I would seriously try to own one. I hope someone here gets one, great looking camera.

Make it just a little larger, put a viewfinder on it, and a K5 sensor...and Pentax couldn't make enough of them to keep up with the sales.

Regards!
