  1. Sony? Well that is enough of a rumour to stop me from buying the Samsung NX10 in March. I will wait until Sony reveals what it has up its sleeve.

  2. Sony had great idea with the DSC-R1 which was released in late 2005.

    I should know as I picked one up the day they were released in Australia in December 2005.

    It was an awesome camera for landscapes, architecture and portraits.

    This also had an APS-C sized sensor although a little smaller (21. x 14.4mm) than the current ones.

    If they could maintain all the best features such as:

    – Built in EVF
    – Articulating LCD
    – 14-bit RAW
    – Live View
    – T* coated Ziess Lens (24-120mm f/2.8-f4.8 135mm equivalenet)
    – Real Time Diagnostics (including DOF preview, exposure historgrams and zebra patterns for highlight clipping)

    And improve upon it with:
    – Higher Resolution EVF
    – 5fps RAW (great for HDR)
    – Extended selectable EV range (at least – / + 3 EV)
    – Interchange Ziess Lenses

    Although to do what the R1 did to the D-SLR market back in 2005.

    It would have to sport the 36x24mm sized sensor with 24MPs.
