Exactly. And of course, it wouldn't meet the 4/3 standard if it wasn't interchangeable with 4/3 lenses.I'm sure it would, via adapter, but what's the point? The main attraction of such system would be small size. I don't want to imagine how would the ZA 135 look like mounted on such camera
Me too!! A small Sony with a 50mm equivalent Zeiss would really be perfect for me. I hope these rumors are true.Well, the rumours site has been updated, and now it is not clear that the new Sony will be a micro 4/3rd camera. They claim it will be a strong competitor to the GH1 but the sensor can very well be Aps-C size.
This is great news for me, because this camera with a 35 to 50 FF equivalent Zeiss lens can become my permanent companion.
Even if it is the regular EXMOR (like the X1 is rumored to have), it will be many times better than the NMOS in the m4/3rds cams.:thumbs:Can one of you comment on why this sensor might be better than what we have in the GF1?

Edward, If that (video) recording choice is not there, then there are savings on the image processing, power management, etc.Vivek, a mirrorless camera basically uses video continously for viewing the image in the finder. You have the choice to record it or not
I am with you 100%. Not because of the savings, but because I cannot get myself to respect or like any camera that shoots video. I must be a hardcore traditionalist. But I doubt Sony will make any new cam without this video thing, especially that all the kids are nagging to get that.Edward, If that (video) recording choice is not there, then there are savings on the image processing, power management, etc.
Also, there is no need to add a microphone, audio recording, and related expenses (money as well as processing, power, etc).
BTW, this purported Sony cam should not be compared to the cute, overpriced P&S cam from Leica if it (Sony cam) is a system camera.
