Hi,
Learned about the Pentax Q today. It has some nice ideas, but a 1/2.3" sensor and a US$800 price tag. Not sure this will/can fly. There are not that many lenses on offer. I would expect for the time being (until that is a real system, if it ever becomes), many users are better served with the likes of Canon S95, G12, Lumix LX or Olympus XZ1.
Will be interesting to see how that copes with dust, the small sensor must be a lot more prone to dust problems.
