I'm quite certain that whatever it is, there is going to be a very large
contingent of measurebators who decide that since it isn't perfection in a
box, it is a plastic coated turd.
What happens with this sort of thing is that since all that we get are hints
from people who say they are under an NDA, we get to set the specifications
ourselves, without knowing what the specs really are.
This sets people up for a huge dissapointment when they find out that the
hints of 8 FPS turn out to be an actual spec of 5FPS, or that the 47
exposure point meter turns out to be a mere 32 point, and actually turns
people off of the new equipment since it is now under-specified and
overpriced.
Sorry to diss anyone on the list, but if you are under an NDA and you are
even hinting about the thing in emails, you are breaking your NDA.
