Further to my last report, Focus Numerique has updated their review, now come with some IQ tests, for both in-camera JPEGs and DNG converted images:-

(in French, Google English Translation Here)
The posted test crop images are self-explanatory. But there is still no miracle. With such a small sensor, image details/resolution and low noise cannot co-exist. Nevertheless, I yet somehow believe in that "extra-ordinary image processing" theory and claim, though, as the lower ISO JPEGs yet seem to be more detailed and less soft/blurry even than those DNG converted ones. For ISO 800 and up, things are pathetic and helpless after all.

As for lens - the best apertures of fixed lens of Pentax are F2-2.8

- very expensive
- very small for an interchangeable lens camera with real controls (unlike the NEX)
- limited image quality, but as good as any other compact cameras
- limited range of lenses
- well built
After scratching my head for months, I finally see a situation when the Pentax Q may be justified and used. I finally realised that this is a perfect camera for midgets, serious photographers with tiny hands.
Nice of Pentax to design for the underprivileged.
