Today I traded in the little Pentax Q10 with the 5-15mm f 2.8-4.5 and 15-45mm f 2.8 at CEX because, as much as I love the little fun I had with it and the gorgeous Pentax colours, I just can't seem to get what I had hoped for. Of course, I am spoiled by my Sony a7 Mark IV and the best IQ and AF, but for the candid shots and grab'n'go Pentax Q10 struggles for what I would like. I have missed quite a few shots because the AF and shutter lag was more than a second behind the moment and the 5-15mm is not particularly fast indoors to keep the shutter speed to prevent motion blur.
Now all of this is not surprising to me and it would be unfair to dish out on Pentax Q10 for it, it was the best it could be back when it came out and should be treated that way. I still appreciate the fun it gave me and the experience I learned from it (I really do miss using Pentax DSLRs).
