Looks good, and I’m sure it will be competitive especially with the dust removal (we will see how good that is, shaking off dust is one thing, but where does it go?) and steady shot, I know that it means you have IS/VR etc with all lenses, but the wide angles don’t really need it unless low light etc. Still there’s no denying that it is a good idea.

 

Up to now I have been very spectacle about the Sony imagers. So will have to wait and see how that goes.

 

I will be sticking to Canon and I’m sure the Nikon/Oly crowd will feel the same way; especially if they have a lot invested in glass.

 

One thing I would say, is that the body is light, that’s good and bad, good if you want a light cam and use small lenses, bad if you use big lenses, as the balance isn’t there, same issues with the 350D etc, I wonder if there will be a grip? (maybe, I only skim read the preview)

 

They wouldn’t have made the cane if you weren’t meant to break the rules
