I get that you and many people don't like the looks of a big lens on a
miniscule body. Aesthetics aside, for certain applications,
specifically for me, backpacking where every ounce is an issue, this
type of camera gives DSLR results and capabilities in a package that
is somewhat larger than a P&S and much smaller form factor and weight
than a DSLR.
But you are only saving on the body. The lenses are, from what I've
seen, pretty big.
What I want to know is what Pentax was thinking with the Q. If they
ever wanted to make themselves look like a toy camera company and
produce a camera that gives less bang for the buck, that's the way to
do it. $800 for a tiny sensor mirrorless interchangeable lens camera
with lens or $700 for a Sony mirrorless APS-C size sensor camera with
lens. It just doesn't make sense.
It doesn't make sense to your North American male mindset. Pentax just
posted some sample images from the Q on the Japanese website that look
pretty darned good.
