Up to 1200 fps with a low resolution output. Sony NEX-7 is interesting, but I cannot see any of them being optimised for FF Leica lenses rather than their matching lenses... john ________________________________________ I'm wondering how this fits into the spectrum of other recently announced cameras. In particular the Sony NEX-7 is looking pretty good. It's quite a different camera in some ways but it can mount an M adaptor and it has a measly 24 MegaPixels and probably a pretty decent low-light performance with the APS-C sensor at about twice the price. I have the GF-1 which I enjoy but I think the NEX-7 could become my travel camera. Another lens system though and the dratted Sony memory-stick stuff which I'm not so thrilled about. Decisions, decisions.
