Re: Wrong lens specs

All of the rumors for this camera state a 24-70mm f2.8-5.6 (equivalent) lens. That means the actual lens is 15-44mm f2.8-5.6, not f1.8-3.7. At no time in the history of camera rumors have I ever seen the aperture also quoted as equivalent.

Expecting this camera to have fast red ring L glass is just wishful thinking.

I agree completely.  I was just about to post the same thing

The interpretation of f2.8-5.6 being the ff equivalent aperture is optimistic.  I'd expect the rumor would have said f1.8-3.7 if that was the actual aperture.

I think there's a higher chance of this camera having a completely different lens spec (e.g. similar 24-120 to the g1xmkII with a 1.5in crop of the APS-C sensor) than a lens as fast as f1.8-3.7.

With the price now out, one might expect more, but I think it will be justified with the performance (sharpness, iq) of the lens and the weather sealing.  The price also leaves room for some future discounting if needed.
