Some of the features on the Q7
Something a bit more dry, but here are some options that can be quickly accessed by the 4 way directional buttons that are increased and improved over the Q/Q10.
Its basically pretty generous, for such a small camera.
Many modes available for shooting. The interesting ones over what most cameras have (esp. such a small one) are :
1. Exposure bracketing (via shutter button or via IR remote)
2. Multi-exposure up to 9 shots (useful for creating 'slow' effects with moving water (eg. waterfall; sea waves) - triggered normally/remote/timer
3. Interval shooting
The notable one here is the 3 memory option for custom White Balance (WB)
Example of usage would be to store WB for ones own house; one for the color cast of a ND filter; one for a favorite sunset color.
Again a wealth of on camera flash option from the typical auto, red-eye reduction, to trailing curtain sync.
This is whats configurable from the Quick Dial if one does not want to use it for picture modes.
Overall, I'm impressed by this 'no hold barred' approach by Pentax to provide as many features as they can.
No mindset that a small camera should not have good/many features or tie it such that only expensive higher tier ones get more functions/features that are just firmware/software implementations (i.e. no hardware costs involved)
