I have been using them since the first model came out late last year. There are two models, a basic, fully-auto p+s, and a black model "Natura Black" that adds +/- 2EV exposure compensation in 0.5 EV steps.
The "Natura Black" has much better construction than the basic model. It feels sturdier and there is a finger "pad" on the front of the body for your finger to rest on for better support.
At first, after using the Leica CM and M7, it was hard to get used to the shutter release button, which is small and almost to the edge of the camera body, especially when shooting in the portrait orientation, but after some use I found it easy to trip the shutter with the thumb.
I would say the PQ is on par with the Olympus Mju. One cannot really compare the two fairly as the focal lengths are so different, and few extreme wide angle lenses resolve details that finely.
While the inability to select aperture is a drawback, it is still a nifty little camera. At 195g its truly pocketable and its capable of fine indoor, low-light shots. I usually shoot NPZ800 with it indoors.
The color rendition is on the cool side. I actually think it works better with black and white film.
The focussing is quite quick and fairly accurate. Because of the extreme wide angle and the small size of the camera, I find its best not to recompose if shooting in the portrait orientation. A small tilt can translate into significant back focus.
