We want Full Frontal!
Does the user really need to be reminded the camera is 16.2 MP every time he puts his eye to the camera?
Putting that 16.2 MP to the left of the viewfinder is stupid.
Impressive specs from Sony as usual. But then I remember about this time last year we were getting all excited about the new(or upcoming)HS10, which also had very impressive sounding specs.
Later however, the actual photo samples just weren’t all that, and several people who bought it weren’t exactly blown away. So we should temper our enthusiasm with a wait & see approach. I want samples, low to high ISO(particularly high). Ditto for the video.
Lens is back to a Carl Zeiss branded, seems Sony couldn’t a 30x G lens.
