I agree - and the Lunacy from H'blad is the most telling new product
Picture the product and marketing guys having a meeting about four months ago....
"Hey guys, not only do Phase make a compelling alternative to our MFD products, but the whole market for MFD is taking a swallow dive as people are jumping ship to high MP DLSRs. What can we think up to sell in order to meet budget? Got it! Let's make a bastard love child between a Bentley and Nex-7 and call it "Lunacy"! Actually, "Lunar" might be a bit more on brand..."

Like it or not, the D800 changed the way photographers think about their investment to quality ratio, and most certainly has changed the MFD industry. Planned obsolescence doesn't sting that much...thanks D800!
