I had one briefly; it's a fantastic camera, IQ wise. The only issue with it is ergonomics. Grip is a bit shallow, buttons not the most comfy to press (on the big wheel). One other issue I found was poor fps rate but that seems standard in the price bracket.... If you are happy to deal with the above than you wont be disappointed. Anexapmle here - https://www.pentaxuser.com/photo/user-35140/tower-bridge-in-blue----89897; yes it's blue, but color is about the only pp it had...no sharpening/contrast adjustment on that particular photograph.
I also used it for work - real estate on the run - so basically in and out a property in 10 mins with just a camera +mounted flash combo - example here - http://www.horizonq8.com/property/dasman-lovely-furnished-two-bedroom-apartment-...
It is an amazingly light camera. It's well worth dealing with the not so great grip in the long run, considering the price.
Thanks - The interior photos look great and are nice and sharp. The link for Tower Bridge seems to be dead though. Have ordered the Q-S1 today so looking forward to trialling it over the next few days.I had one briefly; it's a fantastic camera, IQ wise. The only issue with it is ergonomics.

I am considering buying the Q-S1 but am struggling to find anyone with a serious interest in photography with experience of it using it. I can't find many shots in Flickr nor on this website.
I'd really appreciate any genuine feedback and links to sample shots from real users. I'm not seeking a justification to buy, simply an honest description.

My comment is an opinon so no apologies there. No one has understood the message though. I say the "proof is in the picture" and i'd be suprised if a photographer disagrees with this because the result is everything. The equipment can be shown in the exit/metadata or stated for a specific picture. Listing everthing in your camera bag simply amounts to bragging.
I'm sure what the value is when people state "too many lenses to mention" in their signature.
Just a thought.

Why update your tag/signature? Who gives a damn what equipment you have - the proof is in the picture.
It means nothing, proves nothing but says everything.

I have done lots of shooting with the Q-S1 and my EPZ pages have quite a few examples. I've also done a few blogs using the camera. here's the wildlife one: https://www.ephotozine.com/user/johnriley1uk-22471/blog/the-new-pentax-q-s1-and-...
