i wonder if it will have a focus ring and live exposure preview (similar to nex, not sure what its called)
Take a look at DP’s comparison. The ring makes the Coolpix A 5mm thicker; while on the GR you just press a button to set the camera to 2m (or a cutomizable distance) to utilize the huge DoF of a 28 equivalent.
No availability date yet ?
this looks amazing 🙂
and the price is also pretty good, especially compared to nikon coolpix
Best feature $799 price tag.
Big middle finger to all other camera companies!
That lens is so small, there seems to be some room for a coolpix defeating aperture sized lens, but they agreed to equally share the market..?
And in another camp Panasonic is planing a small sensor fixed lens LF…
pretty lame…
