Pentax Q - versatile for video as well as stills

[Cryo]

I have been shooting mostly stills with my Pentax Q.
When our jam group needed to film a flash jam, I thought I would give the video mode a try.

Here are the results. I put the Pentax Q with the D2 Standard Zoom lens at the widest it can go. Mounted it on my Slik Video tripod and set it in the corner next to the coffee.



I used the microphone on the camera. Unfortunately, I did not have a boom mike to supplement the audio, but it captured the comments from around quite nicely.

Thanks for sharing, Cryo - the Pentax Q is actually a nice little 1080p interchangeable lens video camera - especially when it is on closeout for less than $200.


People are making terrific films with these cameras:

This journalist used a Q for many of the shots in this article.
