They need to be a jump ahead of Nikon Canon like they were in the 90's and before film era or why spend thousands when you could be spending hundreds? Putting these filters in front of the sensor is like a dumbing down averaging out to a lowest common denominator of decades of brilliant lens design tweaking and the use of much better glasses and tolerances.. But in hindsight always a nice thing it may have been smarter to try this naked sensor thing out on one of Panasonic Leicas first. And see what hell all breaks loose in practice amongst the consumers. Thigh might have avoided the filter fiasco which accompanied the release of the M8. I should have bought one in Germany at Photokina if they would have parted with one at that time.
