It's small, but it's solid with a magnesium-alloy shell:

Yes, it's small, but it has features which only can be found on highend cameras (including dSLRs...)

The camera doesn't just look great, it features a front setting dial to let user instantly and intuitively change the finishing of the image:

The in-body Bokeh Control is a great way to allow user to play with defocus effects even on a tiny sensor:

cool...now just wait to see whats the price!
 

Nice! If price is reasonable, maybe i will get one replace my P&S Optio.
 

I hope the price is reasonable vs like cameras, to close the deal for me.
Really hope to get one.
 

so what is the corp factor for this?
if price below k-r, can think about it...
 

Really beautiful ....

It's definitely not just a gimmick, it's a Pentax Q:

Good effort on the publicity info, but seriously, what do you mean by it's definitely not just a gimmick, it's a Pentax q?

so why is it "gimmicky" in your view?

i think its a well-built camera with good functions, good handling and interesting accessories. all we need are more pictures taken by the Q to decide if its "good enough" for our use.

its definitely not a dslr replacement but so what? it was never intended to be and why is that "gimmicky"? :dunno:
