Thanks!
Nowadays I carry the KP with one lens (100mm macro or 55-300 or
60-250) and the Q-S1 with one lens (08). or two Q's, The MX-1 doesn't
see much use except when travelling ultra light.

nsive when they were new, now you can find a G15 on ebay for
$150.
I personally wish I had gotten the MX-1 instead of the G15, which I bought
new in 2013. I did take some great photos with that, but it's only a
decent, perfectly performing camera. Not an awesome little gem like the
Pentax is.

Still, the MX-1 has SMC coating, Pentax menus, shots DNG, etc. If that's
going to be the case, I hope they rebrand a lot more cameras in the future!

I like the Q7 a lot, but I prefer making photos with the MX-1. Q7 might be
too small, plus the screen is fixed...

The MX-1 is a rebranded Olympus or panasonic. I forgot which one.
dpreview has a review of both. I think some Q lenses are also
rebranded non pentax design.
The solution to changing lenses on a Q is two Q's. My Q-S1 is glued to
the 08 and my Q7 to the 06 or 01. Even 2 Q's fit in the smallest bag
could only be described as
"quirky". Think about it: They brought us the K-01, the Q series, the MX-1.
They were making non-pro DSLRs with weather sealing and IS back in 2006.
They make a lens series that is all metal, like it's 1965 or something.
Their acquisition by Ricoh is a perfect marriage: th

My opinion on the MX-1, viewfinders, etc. (as if it matters).
1. I agree the MX-1 is largely a PS clone in fancy dress. A shame
Pentax would use the MX moniker.
2. Having both a NEX-5 (no viewfinder) and a NEX-7 (EVF), the NEX-7
with viewfinder wins hands down. Having two very similar cameras

Cotty You confused a bit here. You said you would be interested in
option c mirrorless APC with optical finder then in later msg. you
indicate you have finder-less Fuji you love.??
The Fuji I love does have an optical viewfinder. I use the
of plastic shoved in either end, but
actually usable optical finders that can display image and data info.
You want my take? In a year's time we'll see quite a few more
pointnshoots (and indeed slightly higher up the pecking order cameras)
coming out with an OVF. I would put money that the next gen of MX-1
but it is a heck of a camera with many
uses. One trick I like is that it is flat and four edges -so on the
table instant tripod for many candid shots.
I don't think I need the MX-1 but I would not disqualify it for lack of VF.

Amazing to me but that's the younger generation for you: they find an
optical viewfinder to be a colossal waste of space money.

the preference to isolate your view. But in some situations
it is good to be aware of the surroundings.

I tried to find the page again and can't. So I could well be wrong.

mirrorless camera worthy of the Pentax name.
Why did I think of these two possibilities? Because the camera is
called (drumroll) MX-1. They could've called it POS-1, Q-100, or a
gazillion other names, but no, they went with a name that is sacred in
the Pentax lore. And for what? For an advanced PS. I
compact.

1/1.7 = 2/3.4, so it's only slightly smaller than 2/3, perhaps someone just
rounded a bit?
