Yawn. Wake me up if the rumored full-frame NEX is announced.
Interesting it has 102 autofocus points. Double my D3s. Quite fast @ 10fps at that resolution. I see they put that translucent tech in it as well. Nothing ground breaking but interesting to see their pro body joining the specs of the other manufacturers.
Are not the days of the Translucent mirror technology numbered now that hybrid AF systems will give you the Phase detect AF without the need for a translucent mirror?
No GPS?
