This is probably the most important factor regarding the Q. It's quirky and hip and you say it's fun to use, too. Performance is sort of secondary here. That said, I still can't wrap my head around the price for a "fun" camera. 2x the cost of the Oly XZ-1 ???
The cost of the Nikon 1 is another example of absurdity. I like the idea of the EVF on the J1 but My God, the kits are $1150! NEX-7 w/18-55 is $200 more.
