Thanks Andy. Clearly the folks at Pentax invested some time and effort in making this tiny camera perform. Images are consistently better than expected and everywhere I took the "Q" during my tests - people wanted to play with it and handle it. If Pentax lowers the cost substantially (say $499.00 with the 8.5mm prime) and adds more lenses I think they may have a winner on their hands.
