Ricoh Imaging (Pentax) has just officially announced the Pentax Q-S1, the latest addition to Pentax's lineup of ultra-compact interchangeable lens cameras.
The Q-S1 is a cosmetic refresh of the Pentax Q7, much like the Pentax Q10 was an externally-redesigned Pentax Q. While small software tweaks have been made, in terms of hardware specifications, the Q-S1 does not differ at all from the Q7 (more details on the minor tweaks can be found later in this post).
Pentax Q-S1 key specifications:
- Sensor: 12.4-megapixel 1/1.7" CMOS (4000x3000px resolution)
- Stabilization: Sensor-shift Shake Reduction
- Video recording: 1080p/720p/VGA at up to 30FPS
- Monitor: 3" LCD, 460k dots, 3:2 aspect ratio
- Viewfinder: N/A
- Lens mount: Pentax Q-mount (accepts virtually any lens via adapter)
- Weight: 203g
- Dimensions: 105 x 58 x 34mm (4.13 x 2.28 x 1.34")
Based on the press release, it's evident that Pentax is placing an emphasis on the fashionable appearance and small size of the Q-S1. Rather than being made of plastic (like the Q7/Q10) or magnesium alloy (like the Q), the Q-S1 features aluminum panels and synthetic leather in the front.
