@ryanc whoa this is super fucking cool!

@skinnylatte i WANT a q3, but i dont wanna pay for a q3 :D

@gglockner @skinnylatte i have a handful of friends who have a q3 and i see what they post on instagram. the last proper camera i bought was a nikon d3s. years later i bought a cannon powershot point and shoot and it was ok. i have no idea how well the q3 does macro, but anything i'd buy would have to be able to do macro well
