<p>What is the Pentax Q7?Pentax's Q series was first launched just over two years ago, and it represented a new approach to the Compact System Camera (CSC) market. Pentax took the route of making the Q range as small as possible, and although it achieved this goal in doing so it had to utilise smaller sensors than competing CSCs.</p><p>Both the Pentax Q, and latterly the Pentax Q10, both featured 1/2.3-inch sensors more commonly seen in compact cameras. As a result the images were of a poorer quality then other CSCs. Pentax has clearly aimed to address this issue in the new Q7, as it has a larger 1/1.7-inch sensor. We take a closer look to see if it has succeeded.</p><p>SEE ALSO: Best cameras round-up</p><p>Pentax Q7: FeaturesAs mentioned, the real headline upgrade on the Pentax Q7 concerns the camera's sensor. Where the Q and Q10 had 1/2.3-inch sensors, the Q7 now boasts a larger much larger module. The sensor measures in at 1/1.7-inches and as such is much more in keeping with the advanced compact cameras found in Canon's PowerShot and Panasonic's Lumix ranges.</p><p><a href="http://www.trustedreviews.com/pentax-q7_Digital-Camera_review">Keep reading...</a></p>
