Pentax Q vs Pentax Q10

Below is a complete analysis of the Pentax Q versus Pentax Q10, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras and both of them are produced by Pentax. The image resolution of the Q (12MP) and the Q10 (12MP) is relatively well matched and they feature the exact same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The Q was revealed 14 months before the Q10 which makes the cameras a generation apart from each other. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go in to a complete comparison, below is a short summation of how the Q matches up against the Q10 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Pentax Q & Pentax Q10. The full galleries are viewable at Pentax Q Gallery & Pentax Q10 Gallery.

If you are planning to lug around your camera frequently, you're going to have to consider its weight and measurements. The Pentax Q has got outer dimensions of 98mm x 57mm x 31mm (3.9" x 2.2" x 1.2") and a weight of 180 grams (0.40 lbs) while the Pentax Q10 has proportions of 102mm x 58mm x 34mm (4.0" x 2.3" x 1.3") accompanied by a weight of 200 grams (0.44 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you have chosen during that time. Underneath is the front view scale comparison of the Q vs the Q10.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the Q and Q10 is 93 and 92 respectively.

In many cases, it is very difficult to visualize the difference between sensor measurements simply by looking at technical specs. The visual below should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Q and Q10.

As you have seen, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements and the same exact MP therefore you can expect similar quality of files although you should really consider the launch date of the products into consideration. The older Q is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
