You could look at some of the slightly older Canon compacts, especially the Powershot A series - A590, A720 etc.

Maybe true but a standard prime, you'd think, would be easy enough to make without distortion.

Just to sour the atmosphere a little - isn't it a bit of a shame that the 8.5mm 'standard' lens has such a degree of distortion that it requires in-camera correction though?

Nezih, why not start a thread in 'Your Photos' if you want to do that? You can post as many pictures in one thread as you like.

You will have to upload to flickr or photobucket etc first, then link to the pictures in the thread.

What Walkeja is driving at is some people's argument that a photograph is not a 100% truthful reproduction of what the human eye/brain sees. By claiming these people must believe that 'every photograph is therefore a lie' is a straw-man argument!

The concern for me was that the Q's much smaller, more pixel-dense sensor would exceed the resolution of K mount lenses.

However I've seen images from the DA*300mm and the Q cropped to 100%, which looked OK, and also suggests that the sensors in cameras like the K5 aren't yet out-resolving our best lenses.
