No, the question is, if this was the only full frame mirrorless camera, and it looked like this, and Sony said they would never offer their own branded NEX camera would you still buy it?

There also is the new M for a little more, so it is not the only one, but yes, FF and not more than 3000 and I would have pre ordered it in an instant.

After all the (justified) criticism, I'm struggling to see how this camera will ever make it to market.

There is no way they will be able to perform a mythbusters on this POS.

Hmmmm. No. As interested as I am in seeing how a FF NEX would perform, I genuinely love the 7 and don't really care that it's just an APS-C sensor. I have no complaints about the sensor performance, and the body size and style fixed everything I complained about with the original 5. I'd probably be perfectly happy with the 6, since I don't use native lenses and only shoot in M, leaving one of the tri-nav wheels useless, but I do like having 24mp to play with, and I've got the old style strobes, so no adapter necessary. And I feel like I've got a kick-ass kit for it and am very pleased with all of the lenses, two of which (Pen 25 and 60) wouldn't work on a full-frame. The most compelling reason I can think of to upgrade would be to have a small-sized FF back up to my DSLR, which is still my preferred camera for quite a few things. That will probably get upgraded before the 7.

All the new camera announcements (except this one) have been really exciting and it's fun to speculate on their performance and talk about what they did right and where they got it wrong. But the a900, simple as it is, and the NEX-7, hobbled though it may be by it's smaller sensor, still do it for me. I'd rather spend the money on glass. So I bought a Summicron-M 50 vIII for the NEX, an Elmarit-R 28 vII for the a900, and am just waiting for the pre-order announcements for the Zeiss 135.

No. Regardless of the spec, I'd rather spend 5 grands on Leica instead of Hasselblad. How many people on street actually know about Hasselblad?

THAT is your primary requirement, how many people know about it? More than any specs the camera sports?

Clearly that is the approach Hasselblad is going for here. Surprised they even bothered to put a functioning camera in it.

Sorry, it must be because I'm a female of the species, but I actually like that one. I wouldn't buy it, but I find it easy to look at.

I find it kinda neat too, but then, I like the Pentax K-01 as well. A nice design isn't something I rate very highly when actually buying, but I do like to look at cameras like this.

That is hilarious. The comments are priceless, have you read Roger's comments on the plastic, hand-picked organic plastic delivered by mule to the processing plant? I think I just cracked a rib.

If people look for specs, they can get the NEX. Same functioning with only a fraction of cost. Obviously, Hasselblad is targeting those rich people.

What is Sony getting out of this? Can't be the sales. Any publicity is good publicity or what?

Actually I quite like the Leica Paul Smith edition, although I don't like the K01.

Aren't we all missing the silver lining to this cloud?
It's a really expensive camera that looks so repulsive no one will ever steal it.

Idiots! That should have been their starting point for actually designing and making a fresh new camera. If it had been, there would not be a silly Lunar. Victor must be turning in his grave!

The sad thing is the first time I took my Sony Nex 5N to a wedding last year. Someone told me they thought I was using a Hasselblad. I took it as a complement back then due to previous Hasselblad products like the X-pan but unfortunately this has sadly become true in the worst way possible

It's time to face the truth: Fuji is probably the rightful Hasselblad heir now... Starting way back with the XPAN.
