Hello,
I have made a poll back in January to see what what would be the most requested features on the Q. The one feature that keeps coming up first is the EVF / OVF, second weather sealing, third on sensor phase detect, fourth is WiFi, NFC, ....
As I said before in my humble opinion, Personally I would split the Q into 2 segments, 1 consumer (i.e. smartphone nerd) and one prosumer.
The consumer model would essentially focus on features like wifi implementation (NFC, etc...), filters, in camera editing, colorful bodies, etc... and the prosumer would focus on features such as weather sealing, video, slightly higher resolution, etc...
Features I really would like to see in the future iteration regardless (and it wouldn't cost Pentax much to implement it) are in no particular order:
- Tilty screen like in the
K-1 to keep it snug
- Pop-up (pop-out) EFV
- Touch screen
- Weather sealing
- Pixel shift (is a must)
- Astrotracer
- GPS
- On sensor phase-detect
Most of the tech Pentax already possesses so there is not much R&D involved to get this working. I don't know if it is theoretically possible but maybe there could be a 2/3 sensor if the lens coverage allows it.
Despite everything, the Q is the most addictive shooting experience ever.
