So, what do you think it is? It appears the format is 4:3. New M43 or something that uses the Sony MF sensor perhaps?

Edit: scratch that...it's inexpensive and under FF 35...tiny sensor in fact.

Small sensor camera based on the shots (all with plenty of DOF).

My guess is that its probably an Oly answer to the LX100.
(Since he is an Oly user as well IIRC)

Ok, my guess is a digital Diana (LoDigiMo) like this:

They go for around $50 or so right now. Maybe a new sensor with different format (or Ming cropped to throw us off).

Oh well, it looks like it was just a joke based on an old, discontinued P&S.

Not MF, he says not even FF 35mm. According to the zoom range, it has APS-c at best. I haven't really understood the appeal of the camera from the review. But I do not find the images to be in any kind desirable. Too much contrast, color so so. A bit sterile.

I have camera (like most here) that makes nicer photos than that. So even if it is cheap, that doesn't change the IQ of this thing. And only up to ISO400? Makes me think of my Kodak SLR-n.

I was thinking Nikon as well because he mention "ED" glass.

I was really hoping for a fixed lens compact camera with a Sony medium format image sensor in the spirit of the Sony RX1R.

The Olympus lenses are ED lenses too.

Well, in the same spirit, I would like to offer up, by proxy, my dad's original digital Rebel in trade for a 60D or 7D. A straight trade might feel like a financial loss, but think of it as a chance to prove what a great photographer you are.
