The flash goes up like that so it can get further away from the axis of the lens making the light less harsh AND less red eye. Its actually a pretty great decision compared to the alternative.
I think digitalrev should make Miss Intern permanent!!! She doesn't have to speak, just stand beside Kai or Lok l and can always use her as a model if needed to!!! Anyone agrees please thumbs up!!!!
@Buzzybros If you've checked the other videos then you might have found out that my first SLR was a Pentax and that I actually do like Pentax the brand. At 8:35 I also mention that "I actually want Pentax to do something good", which is not a slur against the brand or their other DSLRs, I'm saying that I want them to create a good product. If you really think I'm bashing the Q for the sake of it then perhaps you should try it yourself. Thanks, Kai "The F*ck"
Its a fun camera fits in your pocket enjoy it for that if you want quality images over fun go for Sony rx100 and pay loads more money this camera you will keep on you all day long and will make you smile taking pics with it :)
I was blown away by the small size of this thing when I first saw it. It looks like fun, but it's not something I'd want to use in field photography. I'm still interested in one if they can make the autofocus faster.
Is focusing speed really bad? I was thinking of getting it. I see refresh rate of the camera is quite lag. No hard feeling, just like to know more before making a decision... Cheers
Was that lag really that shocking or was the camera pointed to the right of the frame, causing traffic to pass through the FOV after it passed through the video cameras FOV? Because that looked shocking. Even if this was the case, the stutter was terrible.
at least he brings something that is in hand not just reading from a press release...when a Nikon or canon full frame mirror less will come i will definitely going to buy it...
People hate on the Q too much. It is the first in a series of cameras so of course there are going to be problems and limitations. While it is overpriced, is there really an other camera out there that combines all of its features at the same price point? The Q is unique and that is its strength and weakness.
I sure with Internet's Most Talented Photographer would show up this quickly in my inbox so I could actually vote! I mean, on the weeks there is voting.
okehh what do we had... Sonys NEX 3 & 5, all Olys EP somethingrather, all the mirrorless cams from panny and now that daft thingy... are DSLRs too heavy for you kai or WHAT?
Review the Pentax Q10. Pay more attention this time though, considering the original Q blew away a few of the APS-C MILCs, willing to bet the Q10 makes competitors look silly. (Esp considering theyre offering pro grade optics)
@1stghostshadow aha that's a RUclips glitch, so many videos get stuck at about 300 views for a while. Digitalrev is one of the most subscribed channels on RUclips, views usually go 50,000+. I guess the reason people complain about having to wait for videos, is because Digitalrev release their videos erratically, you never know when the next one is coming. I also get withdrawal symptoms :P. I can see both sides of the argument though, and your point is valid.
@Buzzybros I think you have a valid point. they have reviewed the worst cameras made from the pentax brand. if they were to review the k5 (a fantastic camera), The camera has better very equal (if not better) image quality to the nikon d7000, the same fps as the canon 7d and is able to hold glass that is close to matching canons, you will see that you have been missing out. @DigitalRevCom please look at the full product-range before guessing there are no good camera made from Pentax. Cheers
I think he missed the point of this camera. Because it's a mirrorless doesn't mean it should be compared to the PEN or GF3 cameras. It's more similar to the awesome Ricoh GRD, but with better IQ, and interchangeable lenses. The Q is an excellent camera for street photography, IQ is quite good, and the fun factor is this small camera is huge.
the interesting thing is: cropfactor 5.6. exactly the tiny sensor. Cause the question is: whats better, a 5.6 crop from your fullframe or using this tiny thing? and will the lens resolve it? for video the answer is clear. enter pentax q with canon lens and you´ll see. Also you can use fast and cheap (okay there are also more expensive) cctv lenses on it.
I'd like to see some different lenses used on this like some cctv lenses, and telephoto lenses. I mean if 8mm is equivalent to 47mm Imagine a 300mm lens or even a 800mm lens. :D
It would've been better if you used a mic when you were talking on the busy streets of Hong Kong, i really enjoyed the review, but it was difficult to hear
@Buzzybros calm down, he's reviewing the camera, not pentax. I'm sure he respects pentax and their range, just not this camera. would you buy this camera?
Enough of all the Canon 1D X comment!! Gentlemen, that camera won't be available until March 2012!! So please stop posting comments requesting a 1D X review! That is so stupid!!!! Do so when it is finally available to the public!!!
That Q is amazing its as small as the Auto 110 that used 110 format film during the 1980's - used one it was fun. Prints were crap but the Kodak slide film was quite good (I still have them) would love to try out a Q Pentax ... anyone listening to me... Pentax ????
there's no lag if you update the firmware!
Just updated mine. Works great now 👍
The flash goes up like that so it can get further away from the axis of the lens making the light less harsh AND less red eye. Its actually a pretty great decision compared to the alternative.
The dude standing behind Kai at 3:51 is so funny.
I think digitalrev should make Miss Intern permanent!!! She doesn't have to speak, just stand beside Kai or Lok l and can always use her as a model if needed to!!! Anyone agrees please thumbs up!!!!

Thanks,
Kai "The F*ck"
You should Review the Q-S1.
Its a fun camera fits in your pocket enjoy it for that
if you want quality images over fun go for Sony rx100 and pay loads more money
this camera you will keep on you all day long and will make you smile taking pics with it :)
Finally! A new DigitalRev video! Why does 5 or 6 days between DRTV videos seem like an eternity?
Only digitalrev's video makes me watch all kind of products reviews that I'm probably never buy in my whole life.
was that review or doing destructive criticism?
WTF Pentax? Why no full frame? I am disappoint! So many Lenses so little sensors.
Do a Pentax k3 review.
"Resort to the Alambulance for an emergency rescue"... My money's on the fact that you can probably already find a t-shirt with that on it.
When U notice the Olympus ad at the start...
The stock lens on the Q is very good and it does have a magnesium alloy body- no plastic crap here.
Forget Pentax! Forget mirrorless cameras! I wanna see a review on that girl!
I was blown away by the small size of this thing when I first saw it. It looks like fun, but it's not something I'd want to use in field photography. I'm still interested in one if they can make the autofocus faster.
Is focusing speed really bad? I was thinking of getting it. I see refresh rate of the camera is quite lag. No hard feeling, just like to know more before making a decision... Cheers
I wish you would have touched upon that the different camera lenses, movie mode (time lapse!) , who this camera would appeal to..
Let the Model Join your review team!
what setting was used when you were doing the trick with the light during the night?
That's a cute cool camera. I would like to have one. The Q is the digital replacement of the Pentax Auto 110.
brought this cam recently and i love it best purchase
Was that lag really that shocking or was the camera pointed to the right of the frame, causing traffic to pass through the FOV after it passed through the video cameras FOV? Because that looked shocking. Even if this was the case, the stutter was terrible.
@Anthony3g Because the camera isn't released before March 2012 ??
Can you do a comparison between Canon 17-55mm and Sigma 17-50mm?
Oh man this brings back the good old days
at least he brings something that is in hand not just reading from a press release...when a Nikon or canon full frame mirror less will come i will definitely going to buy it...
Looking real smooth Kai,looking really smooth. (Thumbs up)
Return to form for DigitalRev TV! A good balance between an actual review and some fun goofing around.
Are you editing using Sony Vegas? Cause the BGM sounds familiar haha
WTF tiny sensor and standard lens mount...
People hate on the Q too much. It is the first in a series of cameras so of course there are going to be problems and limitations. While it is overpriced, is there really an other camera out there that combines all of its features at the same price point? The Q is unique and that is its strength and weakness.
the front dial reminds me of my old sears SLR made by Ricoh in the 70's!
Ricoh owns Pentax!
Wait? What? Digitalrev videos are back up? I thought they were all removed??
Not all of them are though :(
hey, kai, does it bother you when you edit the video and there's someone videobombing you? such as 3:51
I'm getting one 11 years later !
To the K-5, k-30 or k-5 II please! :)
I sure with Internet's Most Talented Photographer would show up this quickly in my inbox so I could actually vote! I mean, on the weeks there is voting.
One of the funniest reviews I've ever seen!
@DigitalRevCom
I want you to give pentax a chance try out the K7 or newer K5 with some of the beautiful lenses pentax offers.
okehh what do we had... Sonys NEX 3 & 5, all Olys EP somethingrather, all the mirrorless cams from panny and now that daft thingy... are DSLRs too heavy for you kai or WHAT?
Hey Kai, looking smart there with your newly fitted jacket.
Right now it's around $200 USD. Wouldn't that be a good price point to purchase?
i want more episodes on history of camera companies please. liked what u did on Pentax
Could you possibly maybe (please) review the Panasonic DMC-FZ150K?
What about iPhone 4S camera review ???
@Anthony3g Doesn't it come out in March or something?
I WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT DSLR VIDEO RECORDING!
-sound capturing
-lenses
-settings
-technique
-rigs
-etc etc
also, more reviews on carl zeiss ze lenses!
what are your guys' thoughts on the new canon 1DX
Please compare it to G12 just to see if it any better.
A very witty and entertaining review, thank you 👍
Review the Pentax Q10. Pay more attention this time though, considering the original Q blew away a few of the APS-C MILCs, willing to bet the Q10 makes competitors look silly. (Esp considering theyre offering pro grade optics)
May I know what class memory card you use when shooting with pentax q?
@DStanizzi and it's almost the same price of a Canon 7D, why spend that much on a "rugged" Pentax...
Lol, the bus with Olympus ads in the background - nice idea
i thought digital rev will upload the iphone 4s test camera review =.=
@1stghostshadow aha that's a RUclips glitch, so many videos get stuck at about 300 views for a while. Digitalrev is one of the most subscribed channels on RUclips, views usually go 50,000+. I guess the reason people complain about having to wait for videos, is because Digitalrev release their videos erratically, you never know when the next one is coming. I also get withdrawal symptoms :P. I can see both sides of the argument though, and your point is valid.
@macbookpro57 it depends which place of hong kong, the central of hong kong is full of mercedes bmw and porsche
@Buzzybros I think you have a valid point. they have reviewed the worst cameras made from the pentax brand. if they were to review the k5 (a fantastic camera), The camera has better very equal (if not better) image quality to the nikon d7000, the same fps as the canon 7d and is able to hold glass that is close to matching canons, you will see that you have been missing out.
@DigitalRevCom please look at the full product-range before guessing there are no good camera made from Pentax.
Cheers
@Anthony3g Which won't be out until March.
Wait, this camera doesn't even have a 4/3 sensor?
I think he missed the point of this camera. Because it's a mirrorless doesn't mean it should be compared to the PEN or GF3 cameras. It's more similar to the awesome Ricoh GRD, but with better IQ, and interchangeable lenses. The Q is an excellent camera for street photography, IQ is quite good, and the fun factor is this small camera is huge.

Also you can use fast and cheap (okay there are also more expensive) cctv lenses on it.
Yeah it's popular body for those into telephotography. You can adapt it onto canon telephotos and get huge distance out of it.
What a stylish and good hands-on review!
I'd like to see some different lenses used on this like some cctv lenses, and telephoto lenses. I mean if 8mm is equivalent to 47mm Imagine a 300mm lens or even a 800mm lens. :D
And how about Pentax 645D review?
What's up with the pricing of this camera? I wouldn't pay a quarter of what they're asking!
@samotronta05 Manufacturers have to come up with new DSLR first isn't it?
Is this Hong Kong? Where ever it is, it looks like a fun place.
Theres a clothing store called The Armoury? Well damn.
KAI~ Since you review Pentax Q so why not K5??
i hope you review Pentax K5 :)
DRTV, please review the Lytro camera.
I am wondering who will buy this camera?
where it is?
so, no K-5 review?
Review the Pentax 645D, it's the only Pentax worth having a review.
*realizes this was uploaded on his birthday*
Why would you not the a review of PENTAX K5? Probably got nothing else to do anyway;p until D400/D800 comes out.
I thought something was different with the clothing.
Please do a review of the GoPro HD!!
I bet Kai will review the Canon 1DX before we see the LEGO camera on Pro Photographer, Cheap Camera
@bassmanTV ...Is not m4/3?
It would've been better if you used a mic when you were talking on the busy streets of Hong Kong,
i really enjoyed the review, but it was difficult to hear
Pentax Q or Sony Nex5?
@AbdoHad90 Well, get yourself a full frame format or a medium format if you're on sensor size.
Wearing your new Armoury goods Kai?
Please make a video bout the NEX 7 and the new EOS 1D X!
@Buzzybros calm down, he's reviewing the camera, not pentax. I'm sure he respects pentax and their range, just not this camera. would you buy this camera?
Waited 6 days for another mirrorless camera :(
Pentax Q size = da fuq?
where does he live?
Enough of all the Canon 1D X comment!! Gentlemen, that camera won't be available until March 2012!! So please stop posting comments requesting a 1D X review! That is so stupid!!!! Do so when it is finally available to the public!!!
review the 645D or K5 with a decent pean tax lens before mocking it...
That Q is amazing its as small as the Auto 110 that used 110 format film during the 1980's - used one it was fun. Prints were crap but the Kodak slide film was quite good (I still have them) would love to try out a Q Pentax ... anyone listening to me... Pentax ????
iphone 4s camera review?
I notice one of the tags is "mirrowless" Who uploaded this video, Eric Cartman?
ya, but that's with the zoom lens 02
@ejayfajardo not jp its hong kong
thumbs up for a nikon d7000 waterproofing test!
