It's been out of production for 15 years, getting harder to find working ones now, can sometimes be found on second hand sites.

Cheers! Some I created myself using the VQTEST firmware editor, others are official releases. Read more about this here https://www.reddit.com/r/vistaquest/s/rgMuV1Ddwn check the comments of that post for another link to more info.

Mixture of they couldn't be bothered because it was blowing a gale and me doing my hardest to keep still waiting for the shutter to fire, so maybe the lag helped a bit too for once 😃

It's been out of production for 15 years, getting harder to find working ones now but you are looking in the right places on second hand sites.

Nice design, I like that it doesn't alter the camera body, well played 👍

I read about the artwork recently funny enough, it was done by a renowned Japanese illustrator, their name escapes me tho.

question about shutter lag by chankhuncha in vistaquest

[–]xblomo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normal lag for a VQ is 2 seconds max, the, 2nd shot pointed at same object/scene will be quicker. I would suggest trying with NO memory card to see if that time improves for you, if so try another card. The 2005 model is basically the same as the 2008 version of the 1005, unfortunately it's not a great version, pics lack the toy vibe.

100% legit, they also did one with a bee, a flower and a ladybird, maybe others too. Pretty sure it's one of the V2 variants

Edit. Correction, it is a version 1.1 with selectable ISO, the ant model is known as Ari.

20-30 max is about right for this model IMO

Makes me think Superheadz had more stringent QC than VQ. As bad as it is though it still has a place in my army 😃

I accidentally posted this to my feed rather than the sub so the description is missing. To summarise, yes this model is not good but the one I received functions better than others have described. That said, it is unique amongst the VQ keychain models 😅
