wonder if "this is it from Nikon". they could bring larger sensor and more enthusiast oriented alternative in few years. take advantage of their venerable F-mount lenses.
My guess is that the successful companies will develop lenses for these smaller platforms and not rely primarily on funky big adapters and larger, heavier, lenses developed originally for larger, heavier cameras. Those that try to protect DSLR sales from the CEVIL onslaught are likely to be losers in time.
If you took every single DSLR buyer that falls into the typical "family shooter" variety and automatically considered them a CEVIL class camera natural fit (and most would be), surely that's a big enough market to justify built-to-fit lenses at various price and quality points including the high end?
A Nikon V1 or NEX-7 doesn't appeal to me much if the only way I can get decent glass (I like fast primes myself) from the maker is via their DSLR targeted lense line up and an adaptor. That said I'm not opposed to using legacy manual focus glass at all of the focus aids work really well. Anyway... the V1 doesn't do it for me, I won't go to a smaller sensor than the APS-C.
What I did find intriguing is how much video is playing a role in this camera (and the NEX 7 too). The darn thing can shoot 60fps.
With 60fps still images engaged I also envision a "bracket all" function arriving in firmware 1.01 that includes bracket EV, bracket aperture, bracket for HDR, bracket film emulation, bracket "facial expression", bracket "fingers behind kids head mode", bracket alternating pixels, bracket bored expression - all in one second with one press of the shutter release.
