I find it hard to believe some people are knocking such a capable camera, the 5DII was excellent and the III is even better, looks like its time to sell my Mk II and take some images with the Mk III.
Looking forward to this one !

supeyugin1: What an overpriced hype full of bugs and slow AF! I guess people buy this camera just because of retro look. The image quality is average, compared to the best mirrorless cameras around.
you need to do a little reading, this camera will have better image IQ than any M4/3 and probably any APS-C and be close to FF

Nice article Carsten, not overly complicated as a lot of people do, simple and elegant. I really like that first image (page 3),long exposure tele, would like more details on it if you could.
Keep up the nice work.

With this shortened flange to sensor distance I imagine a small zoom will follow ....but its clearly not necessary.
I would like a 35mm equivalent but I expect we will wait a while for that

Seth Gray: 2500 bucks is too steep an entry point for this cam. X100 is 1100 new, comes with lens and has most of the "cost" features of the new cam. How do they justify the (much) higher price?
I just don't see them selling a lot of these - 1700 is well outside the consumer / prosumer pricepoint. Or maybe they will have a cheaper body sometime down the road?
Disappointed, because at numbers previously being rumored (1300 for the body - lenses basically the same) this would have been on my list. But the super high price point forces me to wait to see what canon brings to the table this year (and I'm a Nikon guy :()).
agreed, I will hold out, thats crazy $ 1700, I could get a 7D and use my Canon lenses

every one wants it to be easy, what happened to the "Art", just go buy a filter its not so hard, pretty soon the camera will just be sent to a location and take photos for you.

"If it turns out to be capable of producing good results where existing cameras can often fail - school sports, for example - then it could easily turn out to be the long sought-after 'family camera' for users who want memorable pictures but have no interest in learning the technical minutiae of camera operation."
Like they said its for the masses, take it or leave it, your going to see some of this stuff in DSLR's and then you'll be happy, but for now Nikon may strike a home run, time will tell, I know a lot of none photogs that will be very interested in new system.

pretty good IQ or such high ISO
is this a composite image ? long exposure and the moon is not blown out is why I ask

funny, people see what they want to see. They all look good.
you can find good ones for free at Adobe and around the web or make your own for free
fun to mount on a 600 mm lens for birding

mikeoregon: @Ross-- Are you using Zenfolio as an app for iPad? Or as a site accessed with a web browser? I ask because I didn't know there was an app.
I use the Zenfolio App on my iPad, I of course have a Zen web site, you have to in order to use the App.
Ross
wow, the Zenfolio app is better than all of these, of course you need a Zenfolio account, but most of us need that also (on line)
