Well, like I said in the other thread... The only things that kind of spoil the fun for me (myself) are:
1) contrast-detect AF only :-(

If it's up to the level of the best MFT cameras, it might suffice.
Wouldn't be a big deal for me, but it's class standard anyways. Nothing is exactly groundbreaking here anyway (we'll have to see how the sensor works out), just a different set of priorities and a combination of ideas that appeal to a very different target group.
Something's telling me not to expect that from anyone for whatever reason. All eyes are on Canon now but of all companies they're the one least expected (to me at least) to go radically out of the box and cut into their own markets. They're the one who practically starved their own non-L non-EFS line of lenses to death.
For a while the adapted lenses have to suffice. I wonder if any AF/AE capable adapters are going to appear. Somehow the name "Conurus" springs to mind.
I hope this camera is not as full of unfixable hardware glitches and omissions as the X100 was reported to be...

Quote: 4) Kind of missing something like 75/f1.8 or 50/f1.4, too....

Quote: Otherwise the design and the whole retro idea & implementation look fantastic, for sure :-).
