Mirrorless cameras are complex, but they are electronically complex. (Difference between a Jacquard loom and a i7 processor). Given the right design team, and obviously Sony has one, the mirrorless camera is both fundamentally more producible, and requires less QC. Neither are Leica strengrhs Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net On 09/23/15, Doug Herr wrote: Adam Bridge wrote: >>> it would be difficult to envision a camera smaller than the M that fits the descriptions floating around the internets.
