I think April fool's, too. That's not an EVIL/MILC but an interchangeable lens PS. Why would anyone in their right mind spend money for a system camera where sensor IQ is the limiting factor? 2011/3/30 Jaume Lahuerta jlah...@yahoo.com:

For the same reason people think m43 is too big (at least in current incarnations). But, as you point it out, it brings problems inherent to sensor size (noise and DOF). It may get a market though. I know I wish my LX3 could change lens. Even with its small sensor (bigger than the 1/2.33 chosen

Pentax is also supposed to be working on a bigger (m43 or APS-C) Milc. However, I suspect that Hoya is a more clever company and sees a profit from a retro system like this, especially in the Japanese market. After all, it will be really small and in the high end PS market it is a nice little

Well, the sensor IQ on my little Canon S90 is astounding given how small it is. Something that small that could be both a pocket cam and, when you need it, take a telephoto or F1.4 or whatever, would be a compelling package. I guess you'd need a k-adapter, although the thought of one of my heavy

What's funny is that even though we all know the cropping factor is what gives equivalent focal length, you have still jammed a whole bunch of pixels into a tiny area. If you have decent light, its like a tiny center crop of a stupidly high MP FF sensor, about 400 MP using rough numbers. If you
