Mi wan to get 1...Whos with mi...:)
Not very sure to get it. I find it more to compact with interchangeable lens. Because the ext. viewfinder, is it only limited to certain focal length. Let say if I want to use 135mm lens, how am if going to do my focusing? Do i need another suitable viewfinder? Or just using LCD screen to do my focusing.

This time round I have to really look into the specs, if to get another digi cam. Just don't want to make another mistake. Let the goes on and see what the comments from other user 1st.
Yes, I like the cosmetic of the cam really look like the 1962 Pen F.

Just hoping the rumours of the Panasonic and Leica is going to be reality to come out with another m4/3 cam Dlux5 and LX5
My dad got 1 and he hand the cam to mi... So I wan to get 1... U wan to get 1 also...?

Not sure if someone posted this news already.

"Right now, the company isn't too concerned about the Micro Four Thirds system which was announced last year. However, Sony is keeping a close tab on the market and gathering consumer feedback to see if it should develop a similar standard. If the Japanese giant does decide to engineer a new camera based on the Micro Four Thirds philosophy, it will definitely make the shooter compatible with Alpha lenses, Katsumoto said."

from http://asia.cnet.com/crave/2009/06/12/sony-video-recording-will-be-a-necessity-in-dslrs/

I sure hope they won't take too long to make a rangefinder-sized body with smaller lenses, but which will also support KM and old Sony lenses too, just as Olympus had done for the Pen by using adapters. Best if its full frame!
