OK, I was with all you guys on how insane this system was, until the last announcement. Now I think I understand a little more. Still goofy, but...
This lets them amortize the engineering of the parts of a camera that don\'t change much over a large number of niche models, and might provide a modest savings (in weight, if not cash) to someone who wants more than one of those niche models.
The latest annoucement includes a \"P10 28-300 mm\", which appears to spec out exactly like the CX3, except for the 120fps mode. One hundred twenty frames per second.
And right next to it they announced a different module that is aimed squarely at the Leica X1/Sigma DP1.
It\'s weird, but I no longer think it\'s crazy.
