NEW DISCOUNT amzn.to\xTUkVO Customer Reviews: When I bought it I knew this was the wrong camera. My other cameras are film or digital SLRs with prime lenses. I have Nikons for speedy autofocus and a Pentax for the jewel-like look the FA 43mm\1.9 and FA 77mm\1.8 give. Even the Nikkor 28mm\2.8 D, 2nd cheapest lens in Nikon's line, gives images of remarkable clarity compared with the ...

when you think of it its just a lcd screen and a shutter botton with interchangebel cameras

Hmmm... The Olympus E-P2 for me I think...

@madbearpro: if you shoot in bright day light, it really makes no difference what camera you use. But if you need to use 6400 ISO, you'll notice a huge difference between different generation cameras.
madbearpro Says:
Really? My sensor in my first generation digital rebel (2003, 6.6mp) is out dated but the pictures it takes are still fantastic. If sensors were irrelevant after two years, still photogs would be tossing aside their two year old Mark II's. By that logic, you need to get the sensor replaced or a new camera (might as well) ever 3 years or so.

This camera isnt exactly for consumer marked so I don't really expect it to sell well as what Panasonic and Olympus is offering in the Micro Four Thirds units. Not to mention you don't really have access to 2nd hand optics either which will be very costly.
famousPhotog Says:
I believe the point is that the lens design and the sensor design are integral and optimized to be used together. In other words, you end up with the optimal image capturing system, and not just a hodge podge of different compromises. This concept is totally revolutionery and is supported by the laws of physics as it relates to refraction, diffraction, AA filters, etc. If this system does not sell well it will because the entire concept is too mind blowing for the average consumer.

Lens optimised for each sensor - brilliant! Can't wait to get hold of one. Even if its true about 2-4 years life for sensor - its still worth it - who keep a lens longer than that these days? Lens technology and designers are moving fast too ...
spencewine Says:
This is a step in the right direction and pretty darn ingenious. The point made about the 2-4 yr sensor lifespan isn't quite valid. The sensor is still completely useful after 4 years, you may not have the newest, best-est thing. Also, with other systems the body will need to be upgraded, so you're spending money either way. I suppose if you buy 20 lenses, this system doesn't make sense, but for me- with a wide angle and a 50mm...this is pretty exciting. I'm glad to see it's 3/2 and not 4/3.

Good instructive video. The camera system looks very sexy, but at £1000.00 a pop it should be. Difficult to see what major advantages this has over other (more affordable and high quality) compact systems, but it may be the way to go. Too expensive. The system should be easier to produce for less given it is broken into specific components. And, do people really have so much trouble with dust!?

jem mit mir chattn hab auch bilder so langweilig zur zeit
Ixon2001 Says:
Good idea but over £700 for basically a advance P&S And over a £1000 with the Macro unit I rather get what both Olympus & Panasonic are offering for less monies
kamerakevin Says:
Your average lifetime usefulness of the lens: decades. Your average lifetime usefulness of sensors: 2-4 years. Come to think of it, this is a very very lousy fit. There needs to be a separation of lens and sensor.

expensive. The K-x and Gf1 will own it's ass.

H O T !
mancreep Says:
i want to see some pics that were taken with this camera. show me the quality of what it can do. surely you wont expect people to buy cars without driving them, or guitars, without playing them.....cameras should nt be any different:)
lestube001 Says:
over priced rubbish.the sort unit a bose owner would buy
mpx1 Says:
And who wants to pay that much for every different lens he uses?
zanuha Says:
So, can we get cheaper lenses if they come with less pixels?
LivingForLOL Says:
Thats dark!
kamerakevin Says:
Wow, this is quite a departure from what traditional giant camera makers do. I'm all for interchangeable SENSORS. Too bad it's not full frame. Hopefully this will be a game changer and increase competition and stir big changes in Canon + Nikon domination.

this won't seel too well.... JUST LOOK AT THE PRICES!
