Pentax Q10 Price, Specs, Release Date, Where to Buy

The Pentax Q10 Compact Digital Interchangeable Lens Camera offers versatility without the bulk and weight of a DSLR. It has a 12.4MP backlit 1/2.3″ CMOS sensor, which captures low-noise images even at high levels of sensitivity for 12-bit DNG RAW and JPEG file formats. This sensor and the AF algorithm have been upgraded in order to provide faster, more accurate autofocusing. The camera is compatible with the PENTAX Q-mount lens system, which encompasses prime, zoom, fisheye and other types of lenses.
