First, a seems-to-be official Q "introduction movie":-

At 2:00, it is demonstrated that the bokeh (out-focus characteristic) is completely software controlled, of which this camera function is named as BC which is printed on the mode dial, where BC stands for Bokeh Control.
Next, an unofficial Q test video, taken and edited much like the foreplay of those Japanese AVs in a much similar way and style! Even the background music is alike. Oh, well.. ;-D

I am not impressed with the colour output of the videos, but digital filters were applied for many of the clips anyway..
Nonetheless, it can be seen that the Q simply failed to focus well for the video recording. Maybe the user manual focused by himself, or the AF (if any!) hunted a lot, or quite possibly there is simply no AF function during video recording! Anyway, we shall know it very soon, for the availability of AF under movie mode, which was not yet confirmed for the last time.
Besides, below are two more earlier Pentax Q videos about the operation of the camera. But for the sake of interest for some who might not be aware previously, here they are:-

I have some troubles myself, which will hopefully cleared away when I'll hold one. But even then - would I believe my eyes?

The point is to be the smallest interchangeable lens camera - not the best. And the price... that's easiest to adjust.

If they sell it <200USD I would be interested...
