Very Small Pentax Q CEVIL Announced
Yes, another CEVIL camera - and surely more lens adapters to follow!
http://www.highpants.com/technoid/?tag=pentax-q
Apparently the smallest CEVIL to date.
WOW - LUV that flash thingy thing - designed by Rube Goldberg?
Not sure what Darwin would have said about this much diversity.

Interesting to see another new camera without AA filter.

Once the pixel density gets high enough, the lack of resolution in a lens acts as an AA filter. For that matter, even if the pixel density was low, if the image is sufficiently blurry from either out of focus or just a crappy lens, you don't need an AA filter.

I've had mine for about a week with the fixed 47/1.9 lens. So far great fun, more to report after I shoot a bit more. Pictures don't do it justice, incredibly small.
Here's one from my first outing with it.

Hmmmm... With this lack of really small, new half format film cameras I'd love to buy, those digital miniatures might end up seducing me... That shot looks a lot better than thousands of shots done with the latest aspherical lenses manufactured by a well known company... 
Cheers,
Juan

And Kent got some very nice images from it - the field of view and DOF is very minox like. So much so that I'm thinking it might be a better choice than the GRD IV. |

OK, which was bigger? Donald's Frankenfinder or the Q? Pretty close really!

Those shots do look pretty good. It's a shame the camera isn't a bit cheaper though. I hate to be one of those that complain about prices, but for $800, I'd be tempted by a Sony NEX or the Ricoh M setup...

I was a minox 8x11 fan before Ricoh - I would have been right on the Q if only the OVF had been the size of the Ricoh GV-2 ... or built in.
The GRD IV remains on order still a 40mm version would be appreciated. |

There's a fixed lens version? I thought this was an interchangeable lens camera only.

Read it as fixed focal length lens. For those who missed train with 43/1.9 Limited ? |

Gabriel- I didn't state that as clearly as I could have. Non-zoom, fixed focal length lens, 47mm equivalent FOV |

Sure. Here are a few from that day. Some color, some B&W, some at high ISO in a bar. It was a RFF meetup day so I just shot as we trolled along. I'll pop some more up there shortly.

FPJ,
Those links didn't want to work for me. Might this be one of the articles you were referencing?
