Sony Introduces Mirrorless APS-C Camera Concept Design at PMA
Here's what Sony brought to PMA:
The system, to be introduced later this year, will use a newly-designed Exmor™ APS-C HD CMOS sensor, which provides full AVCHD video capability. Other than that, and what one can guess based on the concept models shown above, details are lacking.
Not too hard to guess that the first lens on the left is a standard zoom, and the second a normal (or possibly wide) prime. What is the monster on the right, I wonder?

Olympus PEN EP-L1 Announced
Olympus has announced a slightly lighter, significantly less expensive digital PEN, the E-PL1.
Link: http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1501
With an estimated retail price of $599.99, which I assume is for the 14-42mm lens kit, this should be a good seller!
