Um, lots of over-saturated Velvia like stuff. Didn't do much for me. Never liked the Velvia look. I'm sure the camera is quite nice (if rather odd looking). I look forward to seeing it in person.

Re: As good as it gets
Indeed. It seems we're having a great year as far as new camera announcement go. Pretty much everyone introduced wonderful cameras and excellent lenses to go along. I cannot help but notice this little fellow: http://www.dpreview.com/previews/panasonic-lumix-dmc-gm1/ The only drawbacks I'm seeing is lack of immediate way to attach an external viewfinder and rather small batter. But, boy, this thing is slightly smaller than Pentax Q7, albeit heavier, but it has so big a sensor in comparison. In terms of technological breakthrough - I think this is the most important announcement as of recently. If I were Pentax executive - I might have been starting to get worried.
