At the top of that list is the Pentax Q10, the update to the Q series, an odd, tiny interchangeable-lens camera based around a point-and-shoot sensor. The Q10 features a newly updated 12.4MP 1/2.3″ back-lit CMOS image sensor for improved performance, including higher quality images and faster autofocus (AF) operation. The camera features includes 15-45mm F2.8 fast 80-250mm equivalent telephoto zoom, the Pentax 06 Telephoto Zoom lens.

That’s all about the Pentax Q10. This Compact System Camera is available in Amazon.
