Was about to jump ship on the GF1. DAMN!
Looks like the sensor size is larger than the 4/3rds sensor.
More info here too!

It's interesting how Sony is planning their camera strategies.
First Alpha, then NEX, and supposedly they are going with lens-interchangeable camcorder too (
as mentioned here )
When all Sony lenses become adaptable to each other, we might have Sony to grow as a serious competition to Canon/Nikon.

That 70-400 G lens is fucking amazing. Super sharp, very contrasty.

here's a preview / review of the NEX5
http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/NEX5/NEX5A.HTM
there are samples pictures and comparison with cameras like Canon T1i, Panasonic G2, Olympus EP-1 etc.. Not sure if it's jpeg comparison or raw thought

i love the sweep pano mode and the handheld twilight mode works extremely well on my hx5v. i think all cameras should have these features.

^ Button layout, Thickness and 1080 Vs 720p video recording. Other than that it's pretty much the same.

Someone at Reifel let me put my A700 body on his 70-400. It just blew me away how good it is. Dare I say it's as sharp as the Nikon 400mm f2.8 VRII at f5.6? It seemed like it.

Sort of related. Sony just announced a consumer camcorder with an Interchangeable lens system.

in response to liquid turbo's query, i've read somewhere about rumours of Canon possibly making their version of a micro 4/3rs, something along the lines of an EVIL camera.

Come to think of it.. I bet Nikon won't respond to this with a particular model per say. They didn't succumb to the megapixel race and kinda do things based on their own interests. Their priorities are probably on buffing up their HD vid capabilities than to compete in this market.

Canadian pricing for NEX-5 with 18-55mm Kit lens is 799.99. Not that bad considering it's 699.99 USD.
And according to test, the LCD on the NEX series cameras are very accurate in terms of full coverage of actual image.
