In the grand scheme of things, folks pay more than that for an f/2.0 lens. Time will tell. This camera would appear to be the digital replacement for the Konica Hexar AF. A camera that commands $400+ in the used market. On the other hand, the Sony NEX twins are looking better and better. We shall see.

Aye. It would make a nice handlebar bag camera.

I don't care how it looks. It works quite well as an SLR alternative for me. Fits in most pockets with the 16mm on it, works great with M-mount lenses, AF capable with my Sony and Zeiss SSM A-mount lenses and is a joy to use. It actually gets a lot more attention than my A900, especially with the mic mounted on it.
