@Editor, maybe late, but Nikon P330 is a 1/1.7", unlike the P310 that was 1/2.3".

Sony statement at A55 release time was that the pellicle mirror would divert some 30% light to the AF sensor. That difference can be seen between NEX-5N and A35. Now, NEX-5N and A77 are using very different sensors, not sure comparison is that valid...

I agree with ed regarding the name issue. Problem is "1" is a common numeral in most languages and in its spoken differently in each of them. So they cannot trademark it. Will it be the "ichi" system, or the "one", "uno", "ein", "l'une", "unum", "um"...

Important to differentiate of a faux Tokina lens... :-p

I would be amazed if Nikon actually launches three cameras the same month... I'm betting we will only see the D400 and the mirrorless (and that they will likely pitch the D400 as 'D700 replacement") :-O

I also voted for regular old 4/3, the kind that has only seen one camera released in 2010 and I'm guessing zip, nil, zero, nada, 0x0000 on 2011. My bet for the next casualty is definetely Ricoh GXR. With Pentax under Ricoh banner there's no need to avoid a real, full capable system.

@Ranger 9,
The way phones are going, I see no way of stacking interchangable lens mount, AA filter, IR blocker, sensor, PCB, LCD (or AMOLED, your choice) and/or battery in a ~8mm case so popular these days. PS: Few year ago I had a Samsung Ultra II dumbphone, biggest merit being 5.9mm thick. It was quite uncomfortable to hold when talking. I'm not clear going thinner than current 8-9mm is really that smart.

Oh, Nikon, why didn't you bring an affordable, non-micro 85mm f/2 DX VR. I would have bought that one...

Hey, bananacam, I'm pretty sure there is a bunch of consumers that actually wanted a compact sized iLC. You know, deep inside they envy photogs with those huge 600mm f/4 on monopods and handhelds 200-400mm f/4 (and even the smallish 24-70mm and 70-200mm f2.8) and wanted part of it, at least the part of being able to swap the lenses.

Now, being able to use primes should give Q-system an advantage over zoom compacts. Only sad detail is Pentax outsourced something with mostly primes lenses that are so toyish that they actually had to put Toy in its name, most likely due to legal reasons. They should create actual real wide and tele primes to reap the most of the system. A very fast zoom (f/2) might not hurt either...

PS: I firmly believe RiceHigh was not included in the focus group research for this product.

Well, I would have loved to peek thru a hole and see the market research (specially the focus group review and selection) for this product. There must be lots of those focus groups saying they prefer a smaller iLC to a better IQ iLC, i.e., hordes of consumers versus the small groups of photographers. It is clear to me that Pentax wants to target those consumers, which happen to value this camera very much, hence the price.

All in all, I predict the Pentax Q will sell way better (in units and dollars) than Sigma SD1. ;)
