Poll: If there is a new Q .... what would you like it to be ?

True, but the Q is not the sort of system that can support both, in the same way a APSC or FF dslr can.

But for those who want interchangeable lenses--from fisheye to telephoto (and throw in superb macro and huge effective FL)--and yet carry it and one or more lenses in ones sport jacket pocket, the Q has a lot to offer.

Given the limitations of very small sensor, if the Q is to give acceptable (for the capable photographer) image quality, then it requires more careful exposure and limited cropping.** And if lesser quality, then why bother with the Q. Use your phone, or whatever.

** Actually the same is true of any system, but you can to a greater degree save the image when the DR is wider and the number of pixels larger.

I basically agree with this, and when I earlier said I wanted 35mm (FF equivalent) small like 01 lens, same configuration as original Q (although I did have in mind the later Q7 size sensor), and updated sensor, my major thought was,
**** don't make the camera larger ****
In fact this would also likely mitigate an electronic viewfinder--unless it is an external one (I use/like optical viewfinders).

None of the poll questions address the size aspect, and I think the important thing is it should continue to be no larger than the original Q and have reasonable choices for 01 size lenses (for me this is the 01, 03, and 04--except replace the 04 with a 35 mm equivalent 01 size/type lens).

1. [Most important] Add 35mm equivalent lens small/similar to No. 01
2. [Secondly] Keep original Q configuration.
3. [Of Course] Update sensor
