For my kind of (private) photography I consider APS-C or possibly MFT to be the sweet spot. Give me that in a package which is as small as possible and I'm happy.
However, I would appreciate a really micro-system (more micro than MFT)
* as a backup
* for the really casual stuff / snap-shooting for those occasions when I just don't want to carry stuff.
You may argue that there are digicam options for this purpose but I'm not so sure whether they are really "good enough". Top priorities would be RAW support and a good lens in a tough package. Basically there are 4 digicam options here (S95, XZ-1, LX-5, EX1) and three of them are already fairly large - probably in the same league like the Q. So you might argue that, apart from pricing issues, you could also go for the cool stuff. Ok, that is gear-head talk (and I have to get the Q for testing anyway).
