I don't see pocketability as an all or nothing affair. It is more like a statistical distribution. I carry the E-P1 with pancake on it in coat pocket for example, but I'd want something smaller if I didn't have the coat.

That's right, I agree with you: size of the pocket matters <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

It is like you can put it in your shirt pocket, but only without the lens. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a shirt pocket camera fan, but too much small means to me less user friendly controlls for users who don't have tiny hands. And I don't think a camera body with an interchangable lens mount should be in shirt pocket size.
Well, that is good then... Because with that price tag a decent IQ should be expected. But as you know, the IQ would be definitely better if the size of the sensor was bigger... not as big as an APS-C, but a bigger back-illuminated sensor than the used one maybe. And this would probably make the camera body bigger, which is my point of complaint <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

My recent usage of the Sony HX9V which I believe has near enough the same size sensor has surprised me in what it can put out. If the Q has RAW output I think the advanced photographer can do very well out of it, coupled with suitably fast lenses of course.
