Well, from that preview video the camera looks a lot nicer than the sketch and "photo" on the previous page, more like a 5DII or 5DIII, with the grip of an E-M1. Everyone rejoice, except those who do not care at all what a camera looks like. Unless of course this is something else, Alpha mount or whatever.
um, i'm pretty sure the picture in the preview video is just a generic dslr to show what sony is going to eschew. after all they paint over it.

Would you buy a pink camera?
Carsten didn't you buy one of those yet?

Spyro, while I basically aggree with what you write, notice what Wfrank already indicated. The EVF is not at the centre of the camera, and neither is the lens. It is offset quite a bit to the left (though not all the way like NEX 7).
as long as the camera clears the nose, but I doubt it...
this is offset too

No, he didn't. Not until the black lens becomes pink as well

That's purple, not pink. I am sure my daughter would love it 
Purple is currently her favorite colour du jour.

Ah, you are probably right. Just me being dense. Okay, back to pessimism.

Higher res pics leaked on Chinese forum:

Interesting that the sensor position indicator is noticeably further towards the front of the camera, compared to the RX1, which is likely why the RX1 didn't get the tilt screen.

I think it looks good.
I will think very seriously about it.

Interesting proportions. While current NEX cameras look a little odd with large lenses, this camera looks a little odd with small lenses. I think I like it overall, though.

I see they still haven't dispensed with that smug orange ring. The viewfinder must be quite large in order to necessitate such a large hump. There was a rumor or SAR that it would have eye-control like the EOS-3/5 - maybe that's partly why.

One benefit of the larger EVF hump is it allows no compromise with regard to the finder optics. I'm really curious about the magnification specs.

I guess you have at least the quick control dial on the front grip and likely one at the rear. Exp comp is a separate dial just like on the RX1, top right. What other controls are you missing (beyond the ones that will be on the rear like RX1)?

Couple points not covered before:
- Both cameras have a fixed OLED EVF with 2,4 million dot resolution. It’s the same used by the Olympus E-M1.
- The menu interface is the same as the RX series (and not the one used by NEX cameras).

Yeah, it looks like it'll essentially have RX1 controls, except the aperture control will be on the front grip dial, rather than on the lens. The dials will likely be customizable, too.
