The Q has been quite a ridiculed camera since it was announced in 2011.
All the pundits and armchair theorists laughed at its small sensor.
But now that the price has come down to be close to other advanced compacts, I've finally got one.
Personally, after playing with it for about 2-3 weeks, I am thankful that a camera company like Pentax thought and went out of the norm and produced such a small gem.
A unique offering that no other maker has, providing unique opportunities for the enthusiast photographer.
Pentax Q+F*300 (1650mm equivalent)
This has got to be my best Moon shot to date.
Even after cropping off about 30-40% of the original frame for composition, the details are the best out of all the Moon shots I've done.
With APS-C, I could have cropped, but at this size of the Moon, the pixel would be close to showing and the file size would be very small 2-4MB.
