Time will tell if they price their product right.
BTW what is the price for the 15 months old GX1 now? ;-)

If it's just a "me too" sensor like the one in GH-3, then they have to cut the price to around $700 in order to compete. For a $1000+ price tag, we're talking about high-end APS-C DSLR like 700D & D7100!

The sensor need to be better than D5200 ($700) if they want to ask for $1000+.Jorginho wrote:

The G6 with that Sony mFT sensor, at least subjectively, wuld have made a world of a difference. I would have bought it even for 100 euro more.
In short: GX7 needs a sensor on par with current Sony mFT sensors.

If you announce an 18 MP CAMERA, it means you can shoot 18 MP photos. Announcing that you are using an 18 MP sensor means just what it says - the sensor that is going into the camera has 18 MP. It doesn't mean, nor does it say, that the camera itself is 18 MP resolution in it's photos.

Price performance is extremely important, do you know why Sony did pretty well with RX100 & RX1 even though they aren't cheap? And A99 isn't successful at all even it shares a similar sensor as RX1 & Nikon D600?
You think these two cams are really comparable?Donald Chin wrote:

So Canon is selling pretty poorly for quite a few years by that theory I guess...
I only read and reply to those "certain Posters" for the "entertainment value".
