Top class lens and sensor, A joy to use, Rugged construction, Elegant minimalist design
It's really expensive
The Q is a fantastic camera. It offers pretty much everything you could expect from a high-end point-and-shoot on both the imaging quality and features fronts, it's built to last and it's a pleasure to use. It is almost £3,000, however. Unless you're dre...
