See the latest interview with Pentax and this is what they tell:-

Quote:-
"In the Q camera, we've been working out the design for five years. It wasn't until the sensor for that camera was created that we felt there was a sensor good enough to match up with those lenses and that size body."
It is also said that:-
"So, I would narrow it down to size matters, but quality also matter. We feel that we're able to maximize the quality in that compact size with a combination of the image processing, and the lenses."
Pentax emphasized in the interview that whilst the sensor size is small, the image processing of the Q is extraordinary and the IQ of it will not be bad and is comparable to other high-end P&S DCs in the market. Well, let's see what will happen and actually how it will perform!

- the image processing of the Q is extraordinary
What's stopping this extraordinary processing to be used by a larger sensor and thus, create EVEN BETTER results?
- and the IQ of it will not be bad
Not BAD? not BAD? whot he hell want a products that's "not bad" instead of "outstanding?
- and is comparable to other high-end P&S DCs in the market.
They donlt cost $800
LAME.

The Q is what it is - a compact with interchangeable lens. A camera with a (significantly) bigger sensor would be something different, i.e. a "regular" mirrorless (different body, different lenses, different target). Pentax wanted to go after a specific niche, and you have absolutely no saying in this. Complaining how they didn't made a completely different product line - that's LAME.
The price is indeed high, $500 would be IMO just right.

The real important issue is, will people buy it.
I vote with my wallet, and the wallet says NO to Q (lf it's $300 with a bundled lens then maybe)
