With the demise of my original series Q I ordered a Q7, so I might try
some macro work with it. The original Q was good for single shot macros
but not for focus stacks - too much noise compounding in the stack.
Since a 1x lifesized shot on the Q is more like a 5x shot on APS its
much easier to fill the frame with something small.
I was tempted to abandon the Q system but my Q lenses would not fetch
much on the market and Q7's seem to be pretty affordable. And it is a
fun system.

Quick conclusion, it's quite a capable little beast, at least at low ISO.
What I've tested so far is to hook it up to a macro slider, and do
extreme macro tests with microscope optics in front of it.
At any given magnification it naturally produces a much tighter crop,
but the amount of detail preserved per surface area of critter is a
lot better than in images produced with eg. the K-3 and the same
optics. The tightly packed pixels of the small sensor is a good thing
from this perspective.
Vibration issues are, as expected, virtually nonexistent.
Am optimistic about this now. :-)
