Pentax today announces Pentax Q10 Mirrorless camera, newly developed Q mount 15-45mm Lens with constant F2.8 Aperture and Adapter Q for K-mount lenses.
 The Pentax Q10 features 12.4 Megapixel Backlit 1/2.3″ CMOS Sensor, top sensitivity of ISO 6400, built-in HDR (High Dynamic Range) function,user to capture high quality, extended movie clips (1920 x 1080 pixels) at a frame rate of 30 frames per second.
Pentax Major Q10 features
- 12.4MP Backlit 1/2.3″ CMOS Sensor
- 27.5-83mm (35mm equiv) 3x Zoom Lens
- 3.0″ LCD Display
- RAW and JPEG Photos
- Full HD 1080p Video at 30fps
- Micro HDMI Port
- Built-in Pop-Up Flash
- Sensor-Shift Shake Reduction
Other features include bokeh control function, allows the user to create images where their subject stands out by automatically assessing the relative distance between the in-focus subject and obtrusive objects in the field of view. The Pentax Q10 also offers 21 Scene modes including Night Scene Portrait, Pet and Backlight Silhouette, allowing even an inexperienced digital photographer to choose the best exposure mode for a complicated scene by simply choosing an appropriate icon on the LCD monitor.
Buy Pentax Q10 from B&H store
Introduced along with the Q10 is the new super-compact and lightweight Q-Mount PENTAX 06 Telephoto Zoom lens. This high performance, interchangeable zoom lens features an F2.8 maximum aperture throughout its entire 15-45mm zoom range and is designed for exclusive use with the PENTAX Q-Mount line of digital cameras. When mounted on a PENTAX Q-mount digital camera body, it covers focal lengths from 83mm medium telephoto to 249mm telephoto (equivalent 35mm format) ideal for portraits, sports events and landscape photography.
 Also available is the new Adapter Q for K-mount lenses – a lens mount adapter that makes it possible to use PENTAX K-mount lenses on PENTAX Q series cameras. By using this adapter to attach any K-mount lens onto a PENTAX Q series camera, the focal length of the lens is extended by approximately 5.5 times in the 35mm format. For example, the extension in focal length results in the ability to use the smc PENTAX-DA* 300mm F4 ED[IF] SDM telephoto lens as a 1650mm super-telephoto lens, (35mm equivalent) making it ideal for photographing celestial bodies and very distant scenery.
A mechanical shutter has been incorporated in this adapter to prevent “rolling shutter distortion” – a problem that results in distorted images of the subject due to the camera shake caused by photographing fast moving subjects and/or by using a super-telephoto lens. An optional tripod bracket is available to securely stabilize the camera system when longer lenses are attached.
