"Sony presented a mock-up of the ultra-compact Alpha camera at this year's PMA held in California. The camera fits interchangeable lenses that brings together 'any time, anywhere convenience with DSLR picture quality', claims Sony."

Looks like another camera you hold out in front of you like bloody tourist. I don't even see the saving virture of a hotshoe for an optical viewfiner.
