Pentax should make a fixed lens APS-C camera!

RonHendriks1966 · 07-27-2011, 08:01 AM

There are those new nice camera's like Fuji x100 and Leica X1 that not only make a buzz but also seem to sell. Should Pentax make one of those?

I think base should be the sensor from the K-5 (or a better successor) so the image quality of Pentax'es answer to X1 and x100would be better.

Wich lens should be on it? Or make more then one camera?

Look in the other thread with a poll. It should be here, but hey there is technics.

I kind of think they should release a high-end compact like the Canon Powershot S95

Why a fixed lens camera at all? (Sorry, it just doesn't sound logical to my, with LBA contaminated, brain.)

well I think that will be the Q wich is strangely enough again with lenses to switch.

O please stop in this thread and discuss in the other one!

A full-frame-fixed-fifty-f1.7... That would really 'trump' the Fuji...
