7. Superb IQ Results...

Thanks for your very informative review, Ben !
... if I was not already a fan of NX mini,
after reading, I would buy one

What I can say, you're Not exagerating at all,
I would even increase your -
' Low Light w/o flash ' rating - from Great to Excellent !

The responsibility comes from dpreview :
the exact type of CMos sensor, ie BSI
is missing in their presentation

See the results in very Low Light Conditions...
at Sea Level in a Well Lit City w/ SkyWatcher std reflector :

its IR-Cut Filter is more than easy to remove :

trying to convince Pentaxians to require a 'Q+' from Pentax
... with the Same Excellent imx183 BSI Cmos Sensor :
Samsung NX mini, a Top Infra-Red ILC for $125€

Pentax could release a 'Q+' w/ Sony 1" BSI sensor

I wonder : when will Pentax release new product ?

at least, Pentax to release a 'Q+' w/ Sony 1" BSI sensor

as you see, not so easy...
