    For my part, I acquired the small Pentax Q (2011), the first of its kind, brand new for $288 CAD in 2013
    These little Qs are really tiny and very light, only 180g.

    These cameras are pleasant to use, but a little too small for my taste, and as always, a camera without a viewfinder quickly becomes unpleasant to use on sunny days.

    The Pentax Q was promoted as the world's smallest and lightest interchangeable-lens digital camera at its launch.
    There are four versions to my knowledge, all with a 12 MP sensor

    Pentax Q (2011)
    Pentax Q10 (2012)
    Pentax Q7 (2013)
    Pentax Q-S1 (2014)

    It was a great time (early 2010s) for Pentax enthusiasts with the Pentax Q, the MF 645D and 645Z, the K-5 and the famous K-01, etc...

    Here are the five comparisons I made with my Pentax Q, which is already celebrating its 15th anniversary this year (2011-2026)
