Ricoh appears to confirm that Q will continue

edri · 09-26-2016, 02:08 AM

I want a very compact mirrorless (maximum 1" sensor) with viewfinder, WR, sensor stabilization, other Pentax features, some WR zoom lenses, an adapter for K mount lenses. I would like to buy these until next summer.

. Between the volume / weight of a m4/3 system and a Pentax APS-C system are no significant differences, especially for the zoom lenses. I want a premium Q as promised Ricoh that will be their products.

I understand that, but I think that if we're putting specific numbers out there, they need to be accurate, and that means accounting for the megapixel differences. That's all.

You do understand that Ricoh didn't specifically promise any new products in the "Q" line??

Do not be pessimistic.

This is the best, albeit informal, news I've heard in a long time:

But, I have more contacts and much better and more intense contacts.
The result for me of couple of hours at Pentax :
Q is still in action,but in the second row this time, full frame is the first.
Q will be in right next year.

A 1" Q would be terrific, especially with the ability to adapt Pentax DSLR lenses.
