Interesting.. Canon and Nikon will be late to that party.. it’s good old “do it first” versus “do it right”..
Olympus was “do it first” – I think that Sony aims for “do it right” with small and portable DSLR-quality camera, not large, bulky, somewhat-better-than-compacts camera.
I am now waiting for a Squared 24mm X 24mm 18MP sensor in EVIL body. this would be something great.
hey what’s your problem moderator ?
nothing. all right then.
When it comes to size I’m not sure Sony is necessarily doing it “right” when it seems that other than the pancake these lenses are going to be huge. The Olympus Pen bodies are quite compact, but also have small, collapsible kit lenses.
Well, I’ve seen live the lens on right-most at the picture above, and it’s roughly the 18-55 size. So yea… quite big. Though I guess these 3 lenses ain’t the final setup and we gonna see more pancakes.
