Let's hope that is correct about "variable resolution" as an option, and that they still have 5-6 months to get that long exposure part worked out, as it did not sound like that was a "for sure" part yet. (Not saying MR did not report things accurately, but even he admits that some of his words reflect speculation on his part.)
As for the price...did anybody really expect something like this to come in much below this price tag? However, as Natasa says, buyers will determine if this price sticks or not, as may anything put out there by Sinar, and we still have not heard all from Hassy on their 645 camera. Competition is good, and let's hope the makers compete hard for customers ;-)
