It is important to see what kind/size of sensor Sony will use in this camera (if real) - if the sensor is 17mm in diagonal, this will explain why Nikon is filing all those patents for lenses with 17mm image diameter:

17mm is smaller then Olympus/Panasonic 4/3 sensor, looks more like a new Coolpix generation.

Great. EP-1/EP-2 and GF-1 don't have competition.

And can you consider the Ricoh system to be competing with the EP-2 and GF1?

This rumor kinda got busted. I was going to update it but I forgot thanks for bringing it up and reminding me.

That Wednesday Sony unveiled a new hard drive high end HD video camera but with a fixed "G" lens. So the witching sticks were half right.

Until we discover Nikon's Sony sensors all contain a hidden self destruct feature ;^)

Yeah, that's the most pathetic part. Looks like Sony helps assemble its own competition.

With Sony's own sensor, lol
