Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Pentax Q-S1, which was introduced in August 2014 is a Entry-Level Mirrorless camera with a 12.0MP 1/1.7" sensor whereas Sony A55, which was introduced in August 2010 is a Entry-Level DSLR camera with a 16.0MP APS-C sensor. As you can see, A55 is 4 years older than Q-S1. Let's see if this age difference between two cameras makes a big difference.
Despite some fundamental differences of these two body types, Mirrorless cameras are becoming serious alternatives to DSLR cameras thanks to their size/weight advantages and recent improvements in their focus speeds , which makes this comparison even more interesting.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Pentax Q-S1 and Sony A55 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Pentax Q-S1 and Sony A55 compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
