Now that you mentioned it ... I've always been drawn to over sharpened photos.
I like the paradox between sharp and blurry!

I suppose wandering the Highlands, sipping single malt and communing with your inner Pict brings on the zen of spot on focus at f/1.2.My pre-order for the α7R stands, unless midnight DST (GMT -5) brings unexpected news from Nikon.

+1. I was actually looking forward to at least seeing the thing. However, for that price forget it. I don't even have lenses for something like that. Hell, I'm not sure Nikon does either!
for that kind of money, if I want "retro," I could buy a Leica M2 and a couple of Leica lenses. The M2 will hold its value better too. At any rate, $2,700 is just ridiculous for what you're getting here.

$1100 would be about right in todays market. Way overpriced.

Big money, but I'm still holding out to see if it has some sort of kickass viewfinder.

Beautiful camera with very interesting specs. Of course paying a bit more for esthetics, but aren't we used to that with other products that are made well and look great ?
As far as 16MP, to say this isn't enough is ridiculous. I have 120x80cm prints that I took with my Canon 5D sitting next to me that look incredible. I even have one at 60x90cm that I shot at ISO 800 - the sky has a touch of grain, but in B&W it looks superb...

I will start shooting my FM again. Nice and retro, interchangeable sensors, ISO to 1600, using Fuji sensors, there's not much need for WB. 2700 bucks buys a lot of sensors.

Specs-wise, it is a D610 with a D4 sensor, but:
- Slower (5.5 vs. 6 fps)
- Missing one card slot
- 2.8 oz lighter (1 lb. 8 oz vs. 1 lb. 10.8 oz)
- EN-EL14a battery (D3200 model) - interestingly rated at 1400 CIPA shots vs. D610's 900
- Gains a PC-Sync port (no 10-pin remote that I can find in the specs)
- No flash
- No video
I sure hope that the 5.5 fps doesn't mean that it got the D600's shutter...
