Adding this for posterity...
Back in 2017, I rode a motorcycle from NJ to Tennessee for a motorcycle rally and then out to Idaho for a story on The Great American Eclipse. My goal was to capture a photo of the total eclipse for the story but I could not take a lot of gear because of the bike. In addition to the Lumix kit I generally traveled with (two GX85s + lenses), I added a Pentax Q with a kit lens plus the DA 55-300 on a K to Q adapter.
Of the 13 photos used to illustrate the published story, 5 were taken with the Q7.

I don't travel with the Q system as much as I used to, but it delivered the goods when I needed it to.
Did this person appear to be an employee or someone who wandered in?in the foyer of the local bank this person took a nap on the windowsill - a restful scene I had to take a pic of with Q7

That's how I feel about my tiny Olympus E-PM2. 250 grams, with a 16 MPx Sony mFTs sensor. Does an amazing job for such a tiny thing.Just picked up my Q + 01 kit locally partially because of the price, but more to do with the amazing sample images posted by its users on this forum.
It's such a small, well built machine for picture making. I am astounded at how much fun this thing is.
Congratulations on your new camera. I looked the Q series up. They certainly look like a beautiful, tiny camera.Just picked up my Q + 01 kit locally partially because of the price, but more to do with the amazing sample images posted by its users on this forum.
