I was thinking of much smaller image circle lenses, and I certainly didn't intend to suggest that purely going faster would totally offset the reduced shallow DoF potential over bigger sensors, only that it could help make that gap smaller than it would otherwise be if you kept equal actual f number.



Also I don't think it is a desire for small sensor in itself, but the smaller overall package. So something between a crop factor of 2x (m4/3) and 5.6x (compact) might give an interesting balance. People are always asking for the "best" but eventually they realise they don't need it, and find the right "good enough" level.



Taking a specific example, I recently got a HX9V. 5.6x crop factor or there abouts. The lens is slow enough that it is in diffraction limiting looking at pixel level on the sensor. But I don't care. The package has a ton of capability, in a small size, and is good enough for a lot of uses. My last 4 submissions here were test shots I took on the HX9V, which I've also allowed full size download on if you want to attempt to pixel peep. The Q I think has about the same size sensor with lower MP count, also with the possibility of having faster lenses which is capable of satisfying its sensor at pixel level. So the Q should give better pixel level image quality than that. I don't think the HX9V is bad in itself as long as you're not comparing with a DSLR of course. The Q should be no worse, and the rumoured Nikon even better.
