Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Canon A3000 IS, which was introduced in January 2010 is a Small Sensor Compact camera with a 10.0MP 1/2.3-inch sensor whereas Pentax Q-S1, which was introduced in August 2014 is a Entry-Level Mirrorless camera with a 12.0MP 1/1.7" sensor. As you can see, A3000 IS is 4 years older than Q-S1. Let's see if this age difference between two cameras makes a big difference.
Comparing an interchangeble lens camera to a fixed lens camera is a bit tricky but we will do our best to make this a fair comparison.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Canon A3000 IS and Pentax Q-S1 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Canon A3000 IS and Pentax Q-S1 compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
