Now, that's damn small... 😮

First person to complain about weight or taking up space gets a slap!

It looks like there will be trade-off in IQ to get to this size, but for those wgo don't want to deal with a full blown DSLR, or even a u4/3 system, this could be just the ticket.

I'm sure the price will be in perfect inverse proportion to the camera's dimensions though.

I think you nailed it with IQ trade off.

That sensor is too small. Look at it compared to the Panasonic GF3 which really is not that much bigger a camera.

The management thanks you for your co operation.

I wonder if it will take the same lenses as the old Pentax 110?
You can pick these up cheap on flea bay.

Out of the box, I doubt it, but I suspect an adaptor will crop up for it sooner rather than later.

I won't be getting anything like this, the 400D+Grip I use is just about right for me.

Looks nice, but the sensor size is a just like a standard compact... Price of US$800.00 so maybe around the £600.00 because we like to pay more.
