Pentax has this week announced a range of limited edition Pentax Evangelion Q10 cameras that will shortly be launching in Japan, sporting colourful casings.
The new limited edition of 1,500 units only, wearing the colour of Evangelion’s heroines with Lei and Asuka as well as the EVA-01, will be selling for around 59,800 Yen, and will be arriving in stores during April 2013.
Features and Specifications
To recap, the Pentax Q10 first launched back in 2011 is equipped with a 12.4 megapixels CMOS sensor, Dust Removal DRII image sensor cleaning function using ultrasonic vibrations, ISO 100 to 6400 (1/3 EV steps), up to ISO1600 when times are set to 2 sec. or slower, Image Stabilizer Sensor shift Shake Reduction, and 3 inch LCD display to name a few of its features. The camera also includes a built-in flash, a range of creative filters, and full HD video recording capabilities. These features make it a versatile option for both amateur and professional photographers looking for a compact yet powerful camera.
Design and Inspiration
The design of the limited edition Pentax Evangelion Q10 cameras is inspired by the popular Japanese anime series “Neon Genesis Evangelion.” Each camera in this series is adorned with vibrant colors and patterns that reflect the iconic characters and mechas from the anime. For instance, the Lei model features a sleek blue and white design, while the Asuka model boasts a striking red and orange color scheme. The EVA-01 model, on the other hand, is designed with a bold combination of purple and green, mirroring the look of the EVA-01 mecha from the series.
These unique designs not only make the cameras visually appealing but also serve as a collector’s item for fans of the anime. The attention to detail in the design ensures that each camera stands out, making it a perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics.
Unfortunately, no information on worldwide availability has been released. This means that fans outside of Japan may have to look for alternative ways to get their hands on these limited edition cameras, such as through online marketplaces or import services.
In addition to the camera’s impressive technical specifications and eye-catching design, Pentax has also included a range of accessories that complement the Evangelion theme. These accessories include custom camera straps, lens caps, and carrying cases, all designed to match the unique color schemes of the cameras. This attention to detail further enhances the overall appeal of the limited edition series.
The Pentax Evangelion Q10 cameras are not just about looks; they also offer a range of advanced features that cater to the needs of modern photographers. The camera’s compact size and lightweight design make it easy to carry around, while its robust build ensures durability. The inclusion of the Dust Removal DRII function and Image Stabilizer Sensor shift Shake Reduction technology ensures that users can capture high-quality images even in challenging conditions.
Moreover, the camera’s 3-inch LCD display provides a clear and bright view of the captured images, making it easy to review and edit photos on the go. The full HD video recording capability allows users to capture stunning videos with ease, making it a versatile tool for both photography and videography enthusiasts.
The limited edition Pentax Evangelion Q10 cameras offer a unique blend of advanced features, eye-catching design, and collectible value. With only 1,500 units available, these cameras are sure to be a hit among fans of the Evangelion series and photography enthusiasts alike. While the lack of worldwide availability may be a drawback for some, the cameras’ impressive specifications and design make them a worthwhile addition to any collection.
