Real portability? Nikon and Pentax are working on it

Rumours still that Nikon is working on an EVIL with a sensor with about 1/2 the area of 4/3rds while Pentax is working on one with a sensor the size of...a superzoom P&S!!! Will it be like this? http://www.pbase.com/andersonrm/image/134548398 If Pentax does ape their failed 110 camera, it'll fail as well. What would you rather carry, that stupid little interchangeable lens camera or a good quality superzoom where you don't have to change lenses? I'll keep my FZ35. |

Any camera outfitted with such a sensor will be a huge compromise. I think though the selling feature will be the ability to mount a very small lens (the old Pentax 24mm lens is the size of an old SLR hot shoe, almost) and carry the camera comfortably in your pocket, with perhaps a longer lens or zoom in another pocket, if needed. You can't do that with a lumpen Superzoom. Canon G12? Regards, Eric Stevens |

You can't do that with a lumpen Superzoom. True enough, but will a camera that small be usable? Even for those of us with average size hands, I can't see how it will be anything but clumsy. Even the NEX 5 is cutting it close for being too small. We'll see. No point debating the pros and cons of rumored cams. In the meantime, I'll continue to enjoy the three cams I do have since I'm pretty sure they're not rumors. |
