I like it. A lot. It fits very well into a 'sweet spot' intersection of size and image quality.

This is why I've kinda hitched myself to the Micro 4/3rds bandwagon. Of all the mounts, Panasonic and Olympus have the best commitment to making unique and useful lenses.

Sure, there are optical compromises, but having a tiny pancake zoom to make a pocketable camera and then switching to a more substantial lens the rest of the time has its merits.

Had I thought this through, I would have probably paid for faster shipping...

If you are wondering why I have a micro four-thirds camera on the way instead of a NEX, this is a big part of it. For me, it's about compactness, lenses, and then megapixels I probably don't need to worry about. (My standard refrain is that if I need megapixels, I'll grab my RB67)

Well, that, and because Sony's overall corporate interest in delivering quality seems to have gone way down from what it used to be.

I find the Pentax Q interesting from a historical perspective. See, a long long time ago, Pentax made a really nice SLR system oriented towards the 110 film format. If you don't remember 110 film, it was one of the many attempts from Kodak to market more consumer-friendly film formats that just looked silly compared to any of the perfectly good 35mm cameras ranging from point-and-shoot to decent sized SLR....

Most folks have been aware of Lytro since the papers their technology is based upon have come out. Lytro is not magic. By capturing a complete 'light field' with multiple sensors per image pixel, a photographer can selectively re-focus images.
