It has been an absolute delight to use.</p> <p>Coming from (D)SLR cameras, the first thing that struck me was how quiet the camera is. I&rsquo;m so used to the clunk of the mirror moving when taking a shot that the silence of the Pentax 17 was disconcerting. For a while I thought it was broken.</p>
