Look, but no touch - apparently they are not allowed to let people touch the camera and take photos (it's a beta version of the firmware), but the Q will be available in Australia "sometime in July" retailing for A$799 with the prime lens (which is a very good price compared to GF3 - A$799 body only, Canon S95 A$599):
This is the size of the camera compared to my hand (by the way, that's the zoom lens on the camera, not the prime, which is considerably smaller):
I am not sure I like the white - it's slightly creamy in colour and looks a bit cheap (the black looks better but boring - how I wish they had made it in silver):
The pink K-r on the other hand definitely looks cheap and tacky - I'm glad I didn't buy it, it looks like an oversized cheap toy:
The new Panasonic GF3 in my hand - not much bigger than the Q - I would consider the GF3 to be the closes competitor to the Q:
The G3 is significantly bulkier than the Q or the GF3 - not in the same league. It's definitely way too big for my needs - it looks like a slightly cut down SLR and definitely not pocketable (or handbaggable):
On the plus side the G3 has a reasonable number of SLR-like controls at the back:
The Sandisk Extreme Pro booth babes (they were impressed I was actually using an Extreme Pro card in my K-5):
