you would hope so given even the RX100/mkII have the White Magic display, as does the Ricoh GR (I believe)
For a flagship 36meg FF offering to use something from a previous generation parts bin to save a few dollars wouldn't be well received I don't think
I believe the NEX-6 as well uses a White Magic display so I'm sure it must be used on these.

The RX1 uses Sony's "White Magic" LCD technology for better viewing in bright light I believe also. I would hope it's used on these cameras as well.For a flagship 36meg FF offering to use something from a previous generation parts bin to save a few dollars wouldn't be well received I don't think

haha yeah, a trio of Cosina/Voigt Noktons, styled to match, would be SO good.
35/1.4 FE
50/1.4 FE
random tele FE
Currently i think some of the best-matched lenses for it would be the M-Rokkors, which are all excellent, and of shared heritage (K/M/Sony)

only two custom modes, not 3. boo.
ok, now i'm really reaching for things to complain about. the camera looks awesome for something as unattractive as it is.

won't work, sebboh, ring is red, only gold rings work Is that a half moon where the front element should be?
you get some funky looking reflections shooting at fast lenses at oblique angles. i'm actually probably more excited to shoot it with the 40 cron and g28 but i couldn't find any shots of them at the appropriate angle.

from that magazine scan, it looks like there is no audio input. 
Stoked about the shutter speed and ISO range. 1/8000 will be nice to have again.
Did i read the eyepoint correctly at 27mm? that is wild.

The FPS kinda sucks, I was hoping for between 5 & 8 FPS, not 1.5/4 & 2.5/5 FPS.
Their max ISO I don't really care about since they will both be super noisy.

Yes, it's going to be difficult to resist. My two complaints, one minor one major (for my use). No built-in sync terminal and no AA filter on the 36MP version (yes, I said it!).

Yes the max ISO and probably 1 or 2 stops below that max will be unusable but it does point to the 7 being about a stop better at ISO than the 7r.

Do we know yet if the cameras can accept a remote cable and what the longest time shutter speeds that the can be used?

i was just holding the rx1 up to my face in the appropriate spot and it looks like my nose will be to the left of the lcd. my biggest complaint is now gone. i will buy one it's just a matter of whether i can wait as long as i've set for myself...
can't wait to see how it performs with rangefinder wides.

your mother will be super noisy
j/k- but i wouldn't jump to conclusions about the A7's noise levels. I'd imagine it will be quite acceptable. Compared to cameras from a year or two ago, it'll probably be at least as good, if not worlds better, with supposed new Sony sensors.

Yet if you down sample the 36 meg R image down to 24 megs.......

I have an M-Rokkor 40/2 and it will probably be sweet. But I've had equally good results with the M-Hexanons (28/35/50/90) on the NEX-5N so I'm hoping they'll work well on the A7r.

If it ships this week or next, I'll be able to try it with some Voigtlander wides while I'm visiting my cousin in LA.
He has the 15/4.5(LTM), 21/4P, 40/1.4 and Leica 90/2.8TE.

But, I am wondering what has been implemented from the NEX cameras versus the RX1. Doesn't the RX1 only have the ability to shoot to 30 seconds or is this incorrect?

M-Hexanons- that is what I meant. I think the 40 will be awesome on it, but the M-Hex 35 and 50 would most likely be great as well.

I too have the M-Rokkor CLE MC 40/2. Hoping the WA Leica M lenses play well with the sensors and cameras.
