This camera is very interesting. It's like Sony took a RX100 body and took ergonomic cues from the Fuji X100. Note the placement of the exposure comp dial and the function button just above it. The lens is very large for the body, but hopefully it does not extend, and has a silent shutter. I think that extending lenses are starting to become less common as manufacturers and the buying public are beginning to realize the benefits.
Would I buy it? If I had the spare cash and could justify having yet another camera, then maybe. I'm sure that the image quality is great, especially when raw is supported in the major converters.
What interests me particularly is the lens. It's a Sonnar, like the Contax T3, and not a Biogon like the Contax G2 or Zeiss ZM lens. The lens makes it much larger than a Contax T3, but I wonder if it will give the same kind of rendering to the images?
