The result is skewed when you put OVF in it. Comparing between EVFs, the off center one is more popular.

SAR: On Boards.4chan.org someone reported this: “Just got info from a source. Launching with crappy 28-70 non 2.8 lens. AU1999 and AU2499 body only. 3 prime lenses to be released later. Heres the kicker. Initial promo offers a free mount adaptor for either Canon, Nikon or Leica. Personally i think the camera looks kinda ugly, but im sure it will ahake up the market.”

Nice shot sony! I can see how this is squarely aimed at Canon, given that they still have no real response to the Exmor... After 5 years.
Sony knows that many canonites are rather upset about this.

Hard to believe even for a SAR-5 rumor but, if it were true, does that means a plain dumb adapter for Canon-EF ( kinda useless) or a proper electronic unit controlling the diaphragm or even AF capable ( Metabones style) ?

Seems like there was a rumor a while back that the FF NEX would have the capability to seamlessly use Canon and Niikon lenses, possibly via a special adapter. It would indeed be cool if Sony released a first party electronic adapter - and gave it away initially.

I’ve made a reconstruction from the leaked image with some size comparisons for scale based on rough guesses.

Poop. Well, everyone else is clearly wrong. I hope it is off centre anyway...

It's not in the middle since the lens is not in the middle. Quite far to the left actually.
Any point to that?
You get more room inside the body for the rest of the electronics. And/or perhaps a slightly less wide body.

Anywhere from RX-1 to NEX 7 will be fine by me. This camera will be so unique that arguing about where the viewfinder is placed as a dealbreaker is a discussion I do not comprehend. But it is horses for courses. The fewer people fall in love with it, the sooner I can get mine. So by all means find things wrong with the concept until mine ships.

I'm excited about the size, the M lens capability, the sealing(!!!!), so many good things going on with this camera.
Something that I haven't seen anything about, but that is potentially huge for this camera, is video. Small size, FF, RF lens compatibility.... we're about to see a whole bunch of Noctilux videos popping up haha. I hope it has a 3.5mm-in jack.

It seems the general design is going to be acceptable to many users. It looks a lot like a leaned down, RX1-ified OM-D E-M1, and that camera seems to be very popular:

I have to admit the low res image is not as bad looking as the sketch. I would not call it an RX1-ified E-M1. This image looks 10x better than the ugly beast that is the EM-1. Personally, I think the EM-1 competes with Panasonic (minus GX7) for the worst looking mirrorless. Of course, the m43 mafia will disagree.

I catually think that the picture looks like a RX-1 with the 2 appendages that said RX-1 was so often criticized for not including as standard: the EVF and the grip.

Even small-time MFT crooks like myself will disagree. I think the E-M1 looks purposeful and ruggedly handsome, in a small way. The GH3 is horrendous though, one of the worst-looking cameras since the Fujifilm XS-11. But I think that this image is up there too. Awful-looking bump.

hmm, i think the camera this image most resembles is the e-m1. both it and the e-m1 look like someone took a previously inoffensive looking camera and strapped some extra lumps on to it with no effort to integrate them stylistically.
the hump doesn't look any worse than the oly to me, but i reserve the right to retract that statement when i see a real, unpixelated image of the camera.

Yes, I hope that image was another fake. Sony has an odd habit of releasing one nice-looking camera, then an ugly one, then a nice one... I thought the A900 was stunning, except a little crude around the grip-area, with those buttons, but I know that lots of people don't agree...
