The deeply discounted price sealed the deal…

    Via Flickr:I must be old, because the sheer idea of being able to take a photo in a dark restaurant at ISO3200 still amazes me. This isn’t art, or not really usable anywhere, but the fact that recognizable photo was taken with a camera that can hide behind an iPhone is kind of cool. Read…

Again, not a great photo, but it is a photo. Looks like the Q with the 01 Prime can be used to…

  • Video Comparison: Drift HD 1080p vs Pentax Q

    One of the things that I am hoping that the Pentax Q does is take higher quality video compared to POV cams. While POV cams are very small and very convenient, their IQ is sometimes lacking. To test the Q agains the Drift HD, I stacked them on top of each other and went for…
