Sony needs a 1" sensor cam, something like the Nikon V1 but for Sony.

Why even bring this up?

While the NEX series of cams are groundbreaking, marvels of engineering, and whatever else you want to call them, there is nothing about them that would make me leave my A57 at home - the body may be smaller but the lenses are still large because of the APS-C sensor.

Agreed.

They need a small body cam, with the RX100 sensor, something with super-fast focus (like the Nikon V1), and the advantage of interchangeable lenses.

To me advantage of interchangeable lenses is nil for smaller body cams, as u need to change/keep all ur lenses altogether which makes things ultimately cumbersome.

Another advantage, and why I want one, is when you want reach, think about hooking up this theoretical 2.7x crop cam to something like the 70-300G.. that's 810mm, on tap, when you want it!

Instead what I would like Sony to do is create 1/1.7'' sensor (a la x-trans similar) with 12mp & create single lens solution that provides F1.8 over wider end (25-100mm) & ~ F2.8/3.5 over longer zoom (150-400) with PDAF capable sensor .

I don't even think this will kill NEX sales, it would compliment! Come on Sony!

Come on Sony!!
