Essentially, yes, in terms of shooting controls and the availability of a standard prime lens, which is all that I care about.
To me photography isn't about image quality, or sensor size, ...
Every day, great photos are taken on iPhones, and lots of bad photos on expensive full frame cameras.
At the end of the day, photography is about the right moment, and the right opportunity. A miniaturised camera with good control of shooting parameters and a standard lens will allow me to realise more moments and more opportunities. That, to me, is the value proposition of the Q.
