Pentax Q gets official: release date, specs

Pentax has unveiled what it claims to be the world's lightest and smallest digital interchangeable lens system camera, the Pentax Q. Among the Pentax Q's key features are 12.4-million-pixel resolution, Full HD video recording and high-speed continuous shooting at a maximum speed of 5fps. In its magnesium-alloy body, the Pentax Q also boasts a maximum sensitivity of ISO 6400 and will be compatible with a new range of super-compact Pentax Q-mount lenses which are proportioned to the Pentax Q's compact CMOS image sensor. Like its sibling DSLRs, the Pentax Q is equipped with anti-dust and Shake Reduction mechanisms, as well as a multi-mode exposure system including the Aperture-Priority AE mode and a custom image function. The Pentax Q also offers a bokeh control function to adjust the intensity of the out-of-focus effect around a subject, and a creative Smart Effect function to give pictures effects such as that of cross-processing film. It's worth noting that the Pentax Q's 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor is smaller than the sensors in premium compact cameras, such as the Olympus XZ-1, which boasts a 1/1.63-inch CCD unit. Effectively, it appears that Pentax has produced an advanced-level compact camera that accepts interchangeable lenses. It will be interesting to see when samples are available closer to the Pentax Q UK release date in mid-September 2011 how the Pentax Q image quality compares to other mirrorless compact system cameras, and versus enthusiast-level compacts. Pentax Q price information has not yet been made available.

Dmitry Medvedev, leader of the good people of Russia and one of the few men to successfully rock denims with a suit jacket, has been bestowed with a fresh new iPad 2 and his facial expression seems to suggest he was immediately irradiated with blasts of magic, fairy dust, and the smiles of innocent children from across the world. We just hope he hasn't seen the crummy camera yet, he is something of a tablet photography connoisseur. Darren: "Why, lookie there! I can see Alaska from my iPad 2!" Joe: "I can't believe I'm playing chess with Gary Kasparov!" Jose: "I wonder if Barack also likes to play Risk on his iPad." Josh F.: "See? The cat is talking but he's saying 'has' instead of 'have!'" Don: "Kickin' in the front seat, sittin' in the back seat, gotta make my mind up, which seat can I take?" Tim: "Look, it already has Words with Comrades installed!" Vlad: "And this has push notifications for when Mr. Putin has instructions for me, yes?" Richard Lawler: "10,000 apps and it's still cheaper than buying the New Jersey Nets." Myriam: "And so if I tap here, it opens the door to the shark tank... and over here are the laser controls. Cool, eh?" Richard Lai: "Hullo Anna!"Caption Contest: Russian prez is impressed by iPad 2 <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/01/caption-contest-russian-prez-is-impressed-by-ipad-2/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">via</A>
