Pentax Q7 has bigger sensor - Klaus - 06-13-2013
Yes, this thing is absolutely tiny but as others mentioned - it is not pocketable.
But then neither is e.g. a Pana GX1 or a NEX with one of those pancake zoom lenses.
Whether a Q is comparable to a digicam is difficult to tell. If you just go for the standard zoom you have to - and then it'll loose the battle. But there's the reasonably fast tele zoom and at least one serious prime. Plus a lot of C-mount lenses.
Weight-wise the Q is next to nothing and the BQ is great.

I guess I just don't see how this fits in with micro 4/3. It seems like micro 4/3 taken to an extreme but (a) it isn't small enough to actually be pocket able; (b) it lacks micro 4/3 maturity (esp high quality lenses); and © it has all of micro 4/3 flaws doubled (small sensor minimal dof control). Maybe I need to actually play with one to understand? Btw is it contrast focus or phase focus ?

Normally I buy cameras via mail order without caring too much - mostly you just know what you gonna get. The Q has something of the old Minox magic but this means to you really have to experience it 1st hand.
That said - just like the Minox it's a cool camera but not a great one.
And no, there is no phase detection AF.

I just read an article about the Minox Leica M3 this morning, in a Foto Magazin from 2001. B)

Minox isn't dead actually - they just announced a 14mp microcam:

minox 43mm f2.4 lens but they don't say what size sensor. I think I'm more tempted by the fuji x-e1...

It's worth to look here - IMO not so bad for a small sensor

I wish they'd talk to Nokia and used the PureView sensor. A 1/1.2" sensor with a 3.24 crop factor. It has very good image quality. I want to see that sensor with exchangeable lenses.
