| PENTAX Q Review When looking at the Q, it looks like Pentax took an Optio camera an inserted some of their K-series dSLR features inside. The sensor used is a CMOS type unit, which boasts higher IQ (Image Quality) compared to CCD type sensors of the same size, especially in low-light situations thanks to it's more sensitive nature. CMOS sensors also claim to offer better battery life, due to their more conservative power consumption profiles. The Q-mount system is what really gives the Q an edge over other prosumer type cameras. Pentax currently has five lens options, the Standard Prime kit lens, a 3x Zoom, and three 'fun' lenses; Fish-eye, Toy Camera wide, and Toy Camera telephoto.
