1. Note the side tripod mount for vertical shooting. A very
practical feature. Just add your favorite quick-release plate.
Yep
2. The large media door could indicate either (a) CF or (b) multiple
media (use CF or SD)
(c) put in more than one and when #1 is filled, start on #2. (I would
hope for (c) but it's probably (a) )
CF at a minimum, possibly a return of PC Card (Hmm, 60GB cards...)
3. Regarding the two taped-over covers at the bottom .. USB,
Firewire, and perhaps ethernet?
How about a wired remote control connection?
USB, firewire, AC
4. The separation of metering & af point selection (to the left and
right of the eyepiece)
seems very practical. Far better than going through the menu. This
would be nice to
have on the 135-format DSLRs.
D already has that feature
5. The exposure mode knob looks like they took one off another body
and taped over the things
which weren't needed. Sloppy tape job for a press release.
Probably
6. Did you catch the LCD backlight button to the right of the
display? Nice & practical.
Agreed.
I hope it lives up to the prototype in this press release. Many pros
will be very pleased.
