New Used Q-S1

NYNOIR · 09-07-2016, 01:02 PM - **1 Like**

I just received a like new Q-S1 in red, gun-metal finish. I like it-- The battery life is longer than my Q and the build is not bad. I've read complaints that it is "plasticky". I don't think so. Feels pretty solid to me. I didn't want to spend the original MSRP but for the price I got with black 02 lens, (US$184.00) from Adorama, I can't complain. Another nice point is the video auto-focus. Comes in handy. Quick question- are there any updates for this camera?

Congratulations on your Q-S1 - that's a great deal!

The Q-S1 is essentially a minor update to the Q7, and everything had been pretty much sorted in that earlier model, so no firmware updates have been necessary... You're good to go
