I've also got the original Q & the K-01. The Q is my take-anywhere camera, simply because I can fit the body, 2 zooms and a couple of spare batteries into a ridiculously small pouch. The K-01 produces fine images but both it and the Q are virtually unusable in sunlight. Neither can come close to my two Olympus OMDs. My K-5 rarely gets a workout these days and I know for sure that I'll never buy another DSLR.
