a bit like a digital age holga but with interchangeable lenses ๐
14mp chip!
Sensor size?
Hard to say yet. Rumors talk about a 1/2,33″ (crop factor 5,62). That would make the 6mm lens almost a 35mm.
I think it would make sense to put a bigger sensor, let’s say a 1/1,7″ (crop factor 4,55; 6mm => 28mm aprox) or even bigger as I presume people do not want their Angenieux to become a telephoto. But if I remember correctly there is no 14mpx 1/1,7″ sensor in the market so a 1/2,33″ is much more probable and be sure they won’t use a specific design for this camera.
This camera is called to be a myth in the spirit of the Yashica EZ F521. ๐ It would be funny to have one, but 300$ for a camera without lens, AF or RAW is a joke!

i hope it’s as cheap as it looks ๐ i’d buy it if the price is right
click the link … $300 body
What link?
yikes. that’s expensive. i already own a c-mount adaptor for m4/3 anyway
… alas it’s only a prototype, the real thin might be a bit more refined (would be fun if they just sold it like it is now)
Soooo ugly!
I want one! ๐
Thought it was a fake first, but when I looked at the japaese link it clearly says it’s a mockup. What I definitely like about it is totally free from no-use-video and toy-flash!

Yes, and also from RAW ๐
There is another interesting digital camcorder/camera with 16mm CCD sensor that can use the C-mount lenses (in addition to PL, Leica M, and IMS), although it’s quite expensive:

The dcwatch link (from mirrorlessrumors) has a picture which shows two Tokina lenses. IN that picture the one in front is the Tokina macro 100mm, and under it in mentions 500, which I guess shows the 35mm equivalent. So I guess a crop factor of 5 is in effect, which translates to almost a 1/1.8″ sensor. Problem is I don’t know of any recent 1/1.8 sensor, but I’m not following P&S too much.
OR you can use C-mount on Micro 4/3…. ๐
