Probably not but it shows definite progress in that direction. In a year or two or three, someone will probably be selling something the size of a Leica CL or a Minolta CLE that will accept M-mount lenses and provide good results. <<< My personal opinion is that sooner or later the ILEV cameras will take a lot of market share from the dSLR, high-end P&S and dRF segments of the market. It won't replace any of these market segments entirely but there will be some very signifcant advantages of this type of camera. I'm looking forward to the day I can put an R lens on a full-frame ILEV camera.
