Drawn to this camera for its compact size and ability to change lenses. However, its hefty price was holding me back until the recent drop.
I am an amateur photographer who shoots primarily with a K5 (started out with the K1000 and K-m) and I would not compare the 2 cameras as they belong to different categories.
The image quality is definitely better than Pentax's point and shoot that I've used before (ie A40 and A60). It's a fun little camera that has a lot to give for someone who wants unique shots and loves to play filters with.
Image from the prime lens is very sharp, however, images from the zoom lens came out a tad soft when comparing the 2 lenses.
This camera also could be used with my existing K-mount lenses with a adapter that you could get on Amazon for about $20.
I have yet to experiment with other lenses, but knowing the crop factor of Q's sensor, it could be an interesting body some nice macro shots.
The only complaint that I have is the shutter speed. I have to wait for about a 1.5 sec to take another shot after pressing the the shutter. Also, due to Q's tiny size, the battery life will not match up with its big brother K5's.
Here are couple test shots that I posted:
Overall, it's a fun, lightweight interchangeable lens camera that's perfect when you don't want to carry the bulky DSLR. Also, I find my subjects (people & animals) are less intimidated when I was aiming the Q at them.
