An integral design hood then.

To be fair, there's been more advertising than ever before this year, and not only in the photographic press. Outdoor magazines have been a target as has Facebook, plus perhaps other areas I don't normally look at.

It would probably cause less confusion to call it the monthly Triptych competition.

Is that because they were too expensive, John?
Not sure what you mean, I think it was probably because they hoped to sell some....just like the canon and Nikon displays. The prices were not bad at all. :

According to the new AP hands-on, the sensor in the Q is a new one, not used in any other camera.

The DA 40mm has a hood that is integral to the design and can be left in place unobtrusively, which I think really amounts to the same thing. The only reason to remove it would be to fit a filter.

Well I did ask you to clarify the situation and you have done so, which is fine. Other members will make their own judgements as to whether or not they are satisfied with the answer. All new members should bear in mind that they are unknown and joining just to sell something, although allowed, means that people have to be satisfied as to who they are before they are prepared to part with their money.
