Which Q?
In terms of quality the bigger sensor is better. My Q S-1 gives results identical to my MX-1. Both are superb cameras.
As John pointed out, there is little to choose between the ergonomics of these which is sometimes challenging for those of us with fat fingers. I think I would prefer the little grip of the Q-7 over the Q-S1 knob, but having never held the Q-S1 that's an uninformed guess.
Maybe for most people it's more a question of style although I can't think of a reason to buy a Q-10 if you could have a Q-7.
Regarding the Pentax Auto 110; if coupled with a set of aperture discs from Lensbaby, the various 110 lenses work nicely with an adapter on the Q cameras.
I was hoping that Ricoh would release a Q with an EVF, but now that the Q line seems to be discontinued, I guess it ain't going to happen.
It all then boils down to whichever one looks nicer or comes cheaper. I'd take the Q-S1 again (the red and gun metal is a stunner)
Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Thanks, Kris.
