The flash goes up like that so it can get further away from the axis of the lens making the light less harsh AND less red eye. Its actually a pretty great decision compared to the alternative.
Its a fun camera fits in your pocket enjoy it for that if you want quality images over fun go for Sony rx100 and pay loads more money this camera you will keep on you all day long and will make you smile taking pics with it :)
@Buzzybros If you've checked the other videos then you might have found out that my first SLR was a Pentax and that I actually do like Pentax the brand. At 8:35 I also mention that "I actually want Pentax to do something good", which is not a slur against the brand or their other DSLRs, I'm saying that I want them to create a good product. If you really think I'm bashing the Q for the sake of it then perhaps you should try it yourself. Thanks, Kai "The F*ck"
People hate on the Q too much. It is the first in a series of cameras so of course there are going to be problems and limitations. While it is overpriced, is there really an other camera out there that combines all of its features at the same price point? The Q is unique and that is its strength and weakness.
at least he brings something that is in hand not just reading from a press release...when a Nikon or canon full frame mirror less will come i will definitely going to buy it...
I was blown away by the small size of this thing when I first saw it. It looks like fun, but it's not something I'd want to use in field photography. I'm still interested in one if they can make the autofocus faster.
I sure with Internet's Most Talented Photographer would show up this quickly in my inbox so I could actually vote! I mean, on the weeks there is voting.
@Buzzybros I think you have a valid point. they have reviewed the worst cameras made from the pentax brand. if they were to review the k5 (a fantastic camera), The camera has better very equal (if not better) image quality to the nikon d7000, the same fps as the canon 7d and is able to hold glass that is close to matching canons, you will see that you have been missing out. @DigitalRevCom please look at the full product-range before guessing there are no good camera made from Pentax. Cheers
@1stghostshadow aha that's a TH-cam glitch, so many videos get stuck at about 300 views for a while. Digitalrev is one of the most subscribed channels on TH-cam, views usually go 50,000+. I guess the reason people complain about having to wait for videos, is because Digitalrev release their videos erratically, you never know when the next one is coming. I also get withdrawal symptoms :P. I can see both sides of the argument though, and your point is valid.
I think digitalrev should make Miss Intern permanent!!! She doesn't have to speak, just stand beside Kai or Lok l and can always use her as a model if needed to!!! Anyone agrees please thumbs up!!!!
Review the Pentax Q10. Pay more attention this time though, considering the original Q blew away a few of the APS-C MILCs, willing to bet the Q10 makes competitors look silly. (Esp considering theyre offering pro grade optics)
Is focusing speed really bad? I was thinking of getting it. I see refresh rate of the camera is quite lag. No hard feeling, just like to know more before making a decision... Cheers
Was that lag really that shocking or was the camera pointed to the right of the frame, causing traffic to pass through the FOV after it passed through the video cameras FOV? Because that looked shocking. Even if this was the case, the stutter was terrible.
I'd like to see some different lenses used on this like some cctv lenses, and telephoto lenses. I mean if 8mm is equivalent to 47mm Imagine a 300mm lens or even a 800mm lens. :D
the interesting thing is: cropfactor 5.6. exactly the tiny sensor. Cause the question is: whats better, a 5.6 crop from your fullframe or using this tiny thing? and will the lens resolve it? for video the answer is clear. enter pentax q with canon lens and you´ll see. Also you can use fast and cheap (okay there are also more expensive) cctv lenses on it.
I really had a good giggle when I saw that Flash pop up, I mean that in itself is a arty farty talking point, and what hell hole suburb was this video taken in?
That Q is amazing its as small as the Auto 110 that used 110 format film during the 1980's - used one it was fun. Prints were crap but the Kodak slide film was quite good (I still have them) would love to try out a Q Pentax ... anyone listening to me... Pentax ????
I think he missed the point of this camera. Because it's a mirrorless doesn't mean it should be compared to the PEN or GF3 cameras. It's more similar to the awesome Ricoh GRD, but with better IQ, and interchangeable lenses. The Q is an excellent camera for street photography, IQ is quite good, and the fun factor is this small camera is huge.
okehh what do we had... Sonys NEX 3 & 5, all Olys EP somethingrather, all the mirrorless cams from panny and now that daft thingy... are DSLRs too heavy for you kai or WHAT?
Enough of all the Canon 1D X comment!! Gentlemen, that camera won't be available until March 2012!! So please stop posting comments requesting a 1D X review! That is so stupid!!!! Do so when it is finally available to the public!!!
there's no lag if you update the firmware!
Just updated mine. Works great now 👍
The dude standing behind Kai at 3:51 is so funny.

this camera you will keep on you all day long and will make you smile taking pics with it :)
Only digitalrev's video makes me watch all kind of products reviews that I'm probably never buy in my whole life.
You should Review the Q-S1.
Finally! A new DigitalRev video! Why does 5 or 6 days between DRTV videos seem like an eternity?
@Buzzybros If you've checked the other videos then you might have found out that my first SLR was a Pentax and that I actually do like Pentax the brand.

Kai "The F*ck"
hahaha i laughed pretty hard at the random dude in the background at 3:48 watching kai sing the transformers song
brought this cam recently and i love it best purchase
When U notice the Olympus ad at the start...
That's a cute cool camera. I would like to have one. The Q is the digital replacement of the Pentax Auto 110.
The stock lens on the Q is very good and it does have a magnesium alloy body- no plastic crap here.
Oh man this brings back the good old days

Return to form for DigitalRev TV! A good balance between an actual review and some fun goofing around.
at least he brings something that is in hand not just reading from a press release...when a Nikon or canon full frame mirror less will come i will definitely going to buy it...
I actually burst out laughing when he popped out the flash
"Resort to the Alambulance for an emergency rescue"... My money's on the fact that you can probably already find a t-shirt with that on it.
I was blown away by the small size of this thing when I first saw it. It looks like fun, but it's not something I'd want to use in field photography. I'm still interested in one if they can make the autofocus faster.
LOL I cracked up when I saw that pop up flash :D
Let the Model Join your review team!
I sure with Internet's Most Talented Photographer would show up this quickly in my inbox so I could actually vote! I mean, on the weeks there is voting.
I actually laughed out loudly when I saw that flash :D
Looking real smooth Kai,looking really smooth. (Thumbs up)
One of the funniest reviews I've ever seen!

@DigitalRevCom We love you too.

i want more episodes on history of camera companies please. liked what u did on Pentax
Forget Pentax! Forget mirrorless cameras! I wanna see a review on that girl!
Do a Pentax k3 review.
I think digitalrev should make Miss Intern permanent!!! She doesn't have to speak, just stand beside Kai or Lok l and can always use her as a model if needed to!!! Anyone agrees please thumbs up!!!!
4:46 "Oh that;s the Chinese Charlie Chaplin" 😭😭😭😭
What a stylish and good hands-on review!
Hey Kai, looking smart there with your newly fitted jacket.
Lol, the bus with Olympus ads in the background - nice idea
@DigitalRevCom
I want you to give pentax a chance try out the K7 or newer K5 with some of the beautiful lenses pentax offers.
A very witty and entertaining review, thank you 👍
I WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT DSLR VIDEO RECORDING!
-sound capturing
-lenses
-settings
-technique
-rigs
-etc etc
also, more reviews on carl zeiss ze lenses!
Review the Pentax Q10. Pay more attention this time though, considering the original Q blew away a few of the APS-C MILCs, willing to bet the Q10 makes competitors look silly. (Esp considering theyre offering pro grade optics)
I wish you would have touched upon that the different camera lenses, movie mode (time lapse!) , who this camera would appeal to..
haha 03:35 look at the guy in the backround just standing there
"The fridge manufacturer Samsung" xD
Are you editing using Sony Vegas? Cause the BGM sounds familiar haha
Wait? What? Digitalrev videos are back up? I thought they were all removed??
3:53 look at the guy in the background haha xD
LOVE THIS INTERN!
*realizes this was uploaded on his birthday*
Is focusing speed really bad? I was thinking of getting it. I see refresh rate of the camera is quite lag. No hard feeling, just like to know more before making a decision... Cheers
I'm getting one 11 years later !
the front dial reminds me of my old sears SLR made by Ricoh in the 70's!
Ricoh owns Pentax!
I can't wait for the Canon 1DX review
3:53
Uncle : (thinking) wtf is this guy doing?
Can you do a comparison between Canon 17-55mm and Sigma 17-50mm?
wow that pentax looks good!
Was that lag really that shocking or was the camera pointed to the right of the frame, causing traffic to pass through the FOV after it passed through the video cameras FOV? Because that looked shocking. Even if this was the case, the stutter was terrible.
I'd like to see some different lenses used on this like some cctv lenses, and telephoto lenses. I mean if 8mm is equivalent to 47mm Imagine a 300mm lens or even a 800mm lens. :D
not sure who this guy is but he's awesome.
Kai, you make the Q look big.
Please compare it to G12 just to see if it any better.
Alamby needs to be in more videos! Her and Kinky are awesome : )
the interesting thing is: cropfactor 5.6. exactly the tiny sensor. Cause the question is: whats better, a 5.6 crop from your fullframe or using this tiny thing? and will the lens resolve it? for video the answer is clear. enter pentax q with canon lens and you´ll see. Also you can use fast and cheap (okay there are also more expensive) cctv lenses on it.
Yeah it's popular body for those into telephotography. You can adapt it onto canon telephotos and get huge distance out of it.
Review the Pentax 645D, it's the only Pentax worth having a review.
@03:51
Kai: *Transformer transformer transformer*
Guy in the back: O_o wat da.....
DRTV, please review the Lytro camera.
I really had a good giggle when I saw that Flash pop up, I mean that in itself is a arty farty talking point, and what hell hole suburb was this video taken in?
To the K-5, k-30 or k-5 II please! :)
@DigitalRevCom I'm a Pentax lover myself. I totally agree with this vid. Such a pity.
wtf with the flash thingy? i laugh so hard and fart my self..hahahahah
Right now it's around $200 USD. Wouldn't that be a good price point to purchase?
That British accent is really good 😅., you like the guys talking in playstation football game.
thumbs up for a nikon d7000 waterproofing test!
When I read Kais comment I had his voice and accent in mind :D
Theres a clothing store called The Armoury? Well damn.
YES!
was that review or doing destructive criticism?
That Q is amazing its as small as the Auto 110 that used 110 format film during the 1980's - used one it was fun. Prints were crap but the Kodak slide film was quite good (I still have them) would love to try out a Q Pentax ... anyone listening to me... Pentax ????
@Anthony3g Which won't be out until March.
@AbdoHad90 Well, get yourself a full frame format or a medium format if you're on sensor size.
hey, kai, does it bother you when you edit the video and there's someone videobombing you? such as 3:51
Thumbs up for Kai's new attire
@GOBbluthagain Don't worry.
They'll surely make a review soon ;)
Please do a review of the GoPro HD!!
Bought this in 2020, i come from dslr and mirrorless, it is not the best but this is the most fun i had on a camera
Nice:) do you notice the same amount of lag that he mentioned in the vid?
Call the Alamb-ulance!
Could you possibly maybe (please) review the Panasonic DMC-FZ150K?
Reviewing a Pentax with Olympus advertisement in the back. LOL
what setting was used when you were doing the trick with the light during the night?
Canon 1DX review please! :D
I hope it's underwayy!
I think he missed the point of this camera. Because it's a mirrorless doesn't mean it should be compared to the PEN or GF3 cameras.

peter doherty reference-wow. kai has been holding out on us!
@DigitalRevCom
We can all still hope they'll come up with a body with interchangable lens mounts :P
I agree with the conclusions made by the Chinese Austin Powers in this film
okehh what do we had... Sonys NEX 3 & 5, all Olys EP somethingrather, all the mirrorless cams from panny and now that daft thingy... are DSLRs too heavy for you kai or WHAT?
I bet Kai will review the Canon 1DX before we see the LEGO camera on Pro Photographer, Cheap Camera
Pentax rules!
I want this camera!
What about iPhone 4S camera review ???
Enough of all the Canon 1D X comment!! Gentlemen, that camera won't be available until March 2012!! So please stop posting comments requesting a 1D X review! That is so stupid!!!! Do so when it is finally available to the public!!!
