The Pentax Q7 has an extremely small body and is rubberised on the front either side of the lens to help with grip. There are also three dots on the rear for your right thumb. Despite its small body, there are an ample amount of buttons. On the top is a mode dial and another for changing settings such as shutter speed and aperture. Other buttons on the top are the shutter release, on / off, playback and a switch which releases the pop-up flash.
If you're a fan of small gadgets, the Pentax Q7 is going to appeal to you, particularly with the range of colours it is available in. It's extremely small, yet packs all the features you'd expect to see on a DSLR. You've full manual controls, RAW shooting and 5 fps continuous shooting. The screen size and resolution hasn't been compromised and the body and 5-15mm lens have plenty of rubberised grip.
Image quality is good, with excellent colour reproduction.

The Q7 was able to produce some high quality images with good color reproduction and decent high ISO results.
Pentax Q7 still beats out the Canon EOS M camera in many categories including having a dedicated flash and a hot shoe plate. If you compare the Q7 to point and shoot cameras, the Q7 has a lot of great features that most PNS cameras cannot compete with like a mode dial, adjustable settings click dial and a dedicated custom settings dial.

Images display virtually noise-free images right up to ISO 1,600, with even images captured at ISO 3,200 prove usable. At ISO 6,400 noise does become more of an issue, or more precisely the loss of fine detail caused by noise reduction image processing.

The Pentax Q7 is no doubt a very interesting and unique little camera. Combining a point-and-shoot sized body with an interchangeable lens mount opens up possibilities otherwise unheard of for a camera of this size. The Q7's lenses are literally tiny— as is the camera body itself, something you won't see in any other ILC.
The camera has a nice design, good image quality, and a solid feature set. It handles better than the original Q, and it takes better pictures than both of its predecessors.

The autofocus is quick and does a good job of figuring out what it is you want to photograph.
The Pentax Q7 is a small, but formidable entry into the mirrorless space.

The smallest mirrorless camera on the block gets a generally successful upgrade and can be considered the most well realized Q camera yet. It looks great and is a lot of fun.

The Pentax Q7 is in a small, attractive package. The rugged magnesium alloy body measures just 4 inches wide by 2.3 inches tall and 1.3 inches deep (not counting the protruding lens). With the ability to swap lenses and a wealth of manual controls and filter effects, the Q7 seeks to deliver an SLR-like photographic experience in a pocket-size form. Image quality is also very good for camera sensor size.
