Compared to a Q, it really isn't.
I only occasionally make the time to use a camera - a 30-odd year old MX, a lovely bit of compact engineering - a fair bit smaller than a K5 (I know - comparing apples to pears is a bit unfair) . . . . and I've just bought a Q for my OH.
But it is all 'horses for courses' though, isn't it? Different tools for different jobs - and a K5 wouldn't do the job for my OH in the same way her Q wouldn't do the job for you.
I'll have to take shot with a P&S comparing the MX to the Q - the only DSLR reference I can make is the (don't shout at me) low-end Canon 450D I have. Watching some rugby now
