@Oflife
You are describing a pocket point and click. The problem that can't ever be solved is the fact that the lenses have to be a certain distance apart and a certain size to capture light the best. You can't use tiny optics and get real depth, it is physically impossible...until someone discovers an alternate means of bending light lenses will be big.]]>Feb 21st 2010 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/sony-intros-alpha-dslr-concepts-micro-four-thirds-model-include/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/sony-intros-alpha-dslr-concepts-micro-four-thirds-model-include/Feb 21st 2010 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/sony-intros-alpha-dslr-concepts-micro-four-thirds-model-include/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/sony-intros-alpha-dslr-concepts-micro-four-thirds-model-include/Feb 21st 2010 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/sony-intros-alpha-dslr-concepts-micro-four-thirds-model-include/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/sony-intros-alpha-dslr-concepts-micro-four-thirds-model-include/
It looks like a compact with exchangeable lenses - but got nothing to do with a Single Lens REFLEX camera? Neither pentaprism or mirror in that design it seems like.

You didn't get the memo? DSLR stands for anything that's higher then a point and shoot.

Engadget- either get a writer who knows what they're talking about when it comes to digital cameras and photography or quit writing. You're making yourself look like fools.]]>Feb 21st 2010 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/sony-intros-alpha-dslr-concepts-micro-four-thirds-model-include/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/sony-intros-alpha-dslr-concepts-micro-four-thirds-model-include/
Last summer, while in a motorcycle class, I corrected someone for calling her digital Rebel a "digital 35mm" instead of a DSLR. I felt like a bit of a know-it-all (in the negative sense) afterward.

The above mitigates that feeling.

It'd be nice if engadget added a "Camera" page and an imaging specific editor.]]>Feb 21st 2010 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/sony-intros-alpha-dslr-concepts-micro-four-thirds-model-include/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/sony-intros-alpha-dslr-concepts-micro-four-thirds-model-include/
the R is for REFLEX (mirror) ....

and despite having "Live View" on my D3 and D700 - it is only a feature used when I have to - not a feature I like or use a lot. You do not get the same feel for the composition and in bright sunlight - Live View is kind of impossible due to reflections and bad LCD tolerance to sunlight - despite the D3/D700 have one of the best Live View screens out there.

But the new Sony range will be perfect as a Scuba camera :-) where it can be hard to use the pentaprism wearing your mask etc

I love my canon g10 but it badly needs a bigger sensor. I used a 5D mark ii and obviously the difference is gapping. My question is, does it need to be? ]]>Feb 21st 2010 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/sony-intros-alpha-dslr-concepts-micro-four-thirds-model-include/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/sony-intros-alpha-dslr-concepts-micro-four-thirds-model-include/Not at all. micro 4/3 cameras are very expensive and niche. Sony getting involved will force every cameramake into this form factor which will also bring the price down to a 500 mark.

(1) More megapixels at the same pixel size
(2) Larger pixels at the same resolution = higher image quality & sensitivity
(3) Shallower depth of field at the same f-stop (to get the APS-C equivalent DoF of f/2 you'd need f/1.6 on a four-thirds sensor, for the APS-C equivalent DoF of f/2.8 you'd need f/2.2 on four-thirds, etc.).]]>Feb 21st 2010 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/sony-intros-alpha-dslr-concepts-micro-four-thirds-model-include/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/sony-intros-alpha-dslr-concepts-micro-four-thirds-model-include/Feb 21st 2010 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/sony-intros-alpha-dslr-concepts-micro-four-thirds-model-include/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/sony-intros-alpha-dslr-concepts-micro-four-thirds-model-include/
