GR with a K mount...

The bigger Q is being delivered as we speak...the Q7.
However, you can't use K mount lenses unless you have the correct register distance. The result is the K-01, a great camera in its own right, bulkier in terms of body than many CSCs, but not as fiddly to operate.
But, add a lens to a CSC and it's still in need of a camera bag. It's not pocketable. Might as well buy the K-01 and have a more usable camera.
Personally CSCs don't suit me, they seem the worst of all possible worlds.

The collapsible zoom lenses (Sony 16-50. Samsung 20-50) are a good compromise between image quality and small size. Both the Sony and Samsung versions barely protrude beyond the hand grip when mounted. Samsung also do a superb pancake lineup - 16mm, 20mm, 30mm, 20-50mm - surely possible with a Pentax body also.

Ideally I'd like a Pentax style Nex or Olympus Pen but done Pentax style, now a bigger "Q", I'd like that a lot...
