Pentax Q's sensor area is 0.6x of that Panasonic LX5's.
The 27.5-83mm zoom lens is f/2.8-4.5 (as opposed to LX5's 24-90mm f/2.0-3.3).
And with this zoom lens RRP is $1,100 - twice the LX5's.[/quote]
There are very nice compacts around featuring the same sensor size as the "Q", e.g. a Pana TZ10 provides a good quality f/3.3-4.9 lens with an extremely useful 25-300 mm zoom range and fits easily in a shirt pocket. IMHO the Pentax Q system is ridiculous.
