The flash may be funny, but should go, if not a long way, at least part way
toward reducing red-eye by getting it further away from the centerline of
the lens. Smart idea in my book.

That flash is funny. I think I'll wait (maybe a long time) for the
rumored K mount system being announced in the fall. I have not real
idea how well the Q will sell.
