Ricoh beberapa waktu yang lalu telah mengumumkan kamera mirrorless terbaru mereka yaitu Pentax Q-S1, sebuah kamera dengan lensa dapat diganti, berukuran kompak dengan mount lensa Q. Pentax menawarkan beberapa update kosmetik, dengan sensor BSI CMOS 12MP berukuran 1/1.7-inch yang sebagian besar tidak berubah dari model sebelumnya Q7. Kamera Pentax Q-S1 akan dijual dengan 40 kombinasi warna yang berbeda saat tersedia nanti pada bulan September dengan harga USD $499,95 sudah termasuk lensa kit zoom.
Keunikan kamera yang diklaim sebagai kamera mirrorless terkecil di dunia ini (meski harus dibandingkan terlebih dahulu dengan misal Lumix GM1) adalah tersedianya kombinasi warna hingga 40, yang diharapkan bisa menjadi nilai plus dibanding kamera lainnya. Ukurannya sebesar iphone tetapi lebih tebal. Lensa yang tersedia untuk mount Q cukup banyak, ada sekitar 15 buah, sehingga cukup matang untuk menjadi sebuah sistem. Ricoh berharap kamera yang cute ini akan menarik pelanggan baru untuk masuk ke keluarga Pentax, dan difokuskan membawa kamera ke pasar yang dapat bersaing antara fitur dan harga.
