I would like to shoot mostly protraits, street and landscapes with some macros here and there.
Thank you very much for all your replies. Considering all the advantages and disadvantages you guys have placed here, I will consider buying the Q7 if I can find a good deal (Around $230-$250 for a used model, with lens), and then decide for a pricier, bulkier DSLR if I find photography appealing. I strongly feel I need something very compact and lightweight, but that has some artistic flexibility, while being very cheap, and well, printing isn't really something I'm looking forward to, for now, I'd just like to make a flickr album to document all the memories/progress I'm making with my skills.
If I can't find it, I'll go straight for an entry level DSLR, even if I have to pay a bit more.
Thank you all!

Hi!
I am considering in buying either the Q7 or the Q-S1, for casual photography. I've only had point and shoots in the past, but I've grabbed some DSLRs and am not completely iliterate when it comes to basic rules like aperture, ISO, shutter speed, etc etc.
Would you say the Q series is a good choice in 2017 (to be honest might as well say 2018, we're some steps away from November)? One thing I keep reading is the sensor size and that support for it has pretty much been dropped. Is it going to considerably set me back, compared to an entry level DSLR? I mean, in ebay, a Q7 or a Q-S1 costs as much, if not more, than some entry level DLSRs from these two you-know-who companies from the photography business. Should I just buy an entry level, DSLR? Is the difference considerable when it comes to image quality?
I really like the Q series because of the portability, but if its going to sacrifice considerable image quality compared to an entry level DSLR that costs pretty much the same, I might rethink it. I've seen some photographers in flickr that use Q series with their stock lenses and I must say they look extremely good! But still, I wanted to ask you guys.
Thank you!

After checking your flickr album, I'm really looking forward to trying out a Pentax Q.
