Easy to carry and fun to use, you say. What about the quality of the end

No, I believe it is a Super Q that takes K-mount lenses in AF. The
idea, from Pentax's viewpoint is to sell more lenses.
Pentax is doubling down on the Q (as well they should). A near Q
with an AF K-mount and this range of normal lens is going to be
awesome.
It is the perfect time to make people

I haven't done the math, but I'm guessing around 4x. That makes the
kit lens a 16-400mm in 35mm FOV equivalency.
Think iPhone quality sensor only LARGER instead of so much smaller
than APS-C. Even Pentax Full Frame buyers are going to own an X-5. It
is like the Ultimate 4x Teleconverter for all

I see no mechanism/switch/whatever for removing the lens.
The promo refers to the camera itself (not the supplied lens) as a 26x

It is obvious that it is non-changeable lens:
words 16 megapixels are written on the lens.

It says right in the blog that it's a super-zoom point shoot.

Yep, well I've been convinced that this is not an interchangable lens
camera (and that it is the same sensor size as the Q), which means
that they used some of their Q knowledge to make it. I guess it
confuses me that they make the Q and K-01 interchangeable lens but no
viewfinder, and then make

Yes that confuses me also.
I really don't know why they would engineer a 4-105mm for a Q-sized
sensor.
I don't know why they would engineer a Q. I'm sure it takes

It depends on three things 1.) Quality of the lens, 2.) Quality of the

Is there really anything on that body that looks like a lens release to
you? You know that notiable button which on Pentax K sits in the lower
right hand quadrant of the lens mount, say just about where the SR logo
is. Anybody who thinks images of the Pentax X-5 represents an

No, if I forgot to post it here... I have been convinced now that it
is not interchangable lens.
I do think it will have the Q-sized sensor (since Sony does make a
16mp version) and I think the question now is: will it shoot RAW?
If so, it is only the 2nd camera in its class to let you do that.
