I understand the odor goes away with time.

I am not sold on any bridge camera, but if I get Pentax, I think I will go
for the MX-1.
Mainly because it supports RAW files. There are tons of nicer compact
cameras out there, some pretty pricey, some not. Many of the ones people have
suggested to me. But I am coming from a specialized place of starting from
another brand of DSLR to begin with and wanting a Pentax to get in the PUG
occasionally and the annual. It looks like the MX-1 is doable. OR... Heh, I
just found it on ebay, the K-01. (Think I was off list when that debuted.)

Look at some 100% samples from the X-5. I've owned some bridge cameras
and the panny ones were always the best IMO with support for RAW and
great lenses. The X-5 samples look pretty awful full size. Everything
looks like watercolors in a bad way. You could do a whole lot better
for the price. I don't even think Pentax manufactured the X-5 so don't
feel too bad about being unsupportive. The MX-1 on the other hand
looks pretty nice for a compact and arguable better than the Q for a
lot of general shooting. Same sensor size and a really sharp lens.

I understand all that, but it also allows for the PUG and annual. Unless
the rules have changed. ?

Thanks!, Mark. I've really wondered about the Q. Seems sort of like
Pentax's answer to micro3/4 /compact cameras (well, I see it that
way).
Yes, it is, but even the Q7 only has 1/1.7" sensor (same size as the
P7100/P7800/DMC-LF1 I've been pushing), so you're limited to about ISO
800 for good quality. And there's no viewfinder, no articulated
display.
You do gain some low-light performance with the Q's 15-45/2.8 or a
honking big K-mount lens, but that's also quite a bit larger than the
compacts.
