I am sure many of you already saw those nice mirrorless concept videos and images floating around the web. But for those that might missed them here is a short recap.

But the use interface has to improved… a lot… So does the screen, how would an lcd or oled look like in direct sunlight? We need viewfinders! And the feedback a button would give…
