Pentax has admitted that its first compact system camera, the Pentax Q, is not selling as well as the company had hoped.

Speaking at the launch of the Pentax K-01, the company’s newest compact system camera the General Manager for Pentax UK, Jonathan Martin, told our sister website TechRadar, “Though it [the Q] has been well received, we haven’t seen the numbers that we would have liked to.”

However, Martin added that Pentax is committed to the Q and plans to keep developing accessories for the camera, as well as promote it with key retailers.

The Pentax Q was introduced in September last year and is the world’s smallest interchangeable lens camera, offering a 12-million-pixel, 1/2.3-inch sensor.
