I don\'t think this camera will come in sub $2K. Typically, a lot of the 35mm f2.0 Zeiss lenses by themselves cost around $1,000. With cost of a newly introduced full frame sensor, I have a hard time seeing that this will be less than $2000.
But the cost to build and market them together as a single piece is significantly less than that of building and marketing them separately. $2000 is a reasonable price for this. Might go to $2200, but it is hard to see how Sony can price this in excess of a Leica X2 -- specially considering the price premium charged for the Leica name and the higher cost of production due to significantly smaller volumes associated with the X2 (not to mention less efficient marketing and distribution compared to Sony).
