First Pentax Q User Unboxing Post

The Pentax Q has been on sales yesterday, this is the first Pentax Q user unboxing post on the Internet that I have come across:-

(in Japanese, English page here (Google-translated))



The body size is not as small as Pentax has been emphasizing..



Well, the kit prime lens is somehow small:-



But, I'm afraid that the sensor is even smaller!



That guy has purchased all the 3 toy lenses, too:-



The toy lenses are put side-by-side to a DA18-55WR lens:-



In addition, the new Q owner has posted five full size original samples. I am not convinced much with the colour rendition anyway, which looks somehow odd and unnatural. Three of which anyway:-

Btw and after all, the prices of the Pentax Q and ktis/lenses are more expensive than all the other entry level ILDCs on the market. So, does it mean that the Q is not entry level and could provide more superior image quality and results? :-o ;-)
