What Q accessories are worth it?

I have a shameful secret. I really like using $1.00 Nintendo Wii wrist straps on small cameras. They are fully adjustable and work really, really well.

Someone here recommended this Pentax -brand case.

It's made out of leather and fits the Q + two lenses perfectly. Here's mine...

What a Great Backpacking Camera

I picked up a Q as a second camera for the specific purpose of backpacking with it. Small, light, durable, inexpensive -- seemed perfect. I had a chance to test my premise this past weekend on a trip to Big Bend.

The Q certainly lived up to my expectations. The 02 zoom was a versatile companion and the raw files it generated have proven surprisingly flexible in post-processing. I never felt the weight of the camera around my neck (although I definitely needed my backup Wasabi Power batteries).

I was concerned about how the Q might handle cold temps (35 at night) and dust, since it's not weather sealed, but neither seemed to faze it. When I went to clean the camera after the trip, there were only a couple of specks to be found on the camera and lens.

In all, I continue to believe that the Q is a little gem. It's an excellent backpacking companion, delivering better IQ than any "rugged camera" at a lower cost. The magnesium build and smart Pentax engineering render it tough enough for multiple days in the back country. (I did not use it in the rain, where I would be a heck of a lot more cautious.)

Bravo, Pentax.

This is pretty heavily cropped and color corrected, but I have to say: I love the grain on this camera. Many people have commented that it looks like film and they're right! I think the trick to enjoying the Q is to embrace the grain. :p
