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

    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:

    The witching sticks are now pointing to Sony announcing a new high end video camera that uses Sony's alpha mount. So all of your Minolta/Sony lenses could be used on this "camcorder"

    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.

    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?

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