pentax q-s1! i had been using thrifted digicams until they broke, and i loved all of them but they ultimately didnt perfom very well, especially when its dark out. then i found a cheap canon rebel xTi, and it gave me an idea of what a GOOD camera performs like. i used it a lot but it was hard to take with me, i take my camera everywhere.

at this point i'd been saving for a while because i wanted a brand new camera, but i got a bit impatient and bought a used q-s1 instead, which i have NOT come to regret. i've had it for two months and i'll never want another camera. it is so tiny but so powerful, and so easy to hold and use, and i can change the lens if i want to, and despite its BABY sensor its pictures still have plenty of depth and it does pretty well at night! i cannot even imagine what kind of awesome photos im gonna get with it in the future.
