Wow, the specs on that camera sound awesome! Boo on the fixed lens though. Then again, I don't think I've ever really utilized zoom on my random point and shoots. So many choices to choose from. Hmm... this or the Fujifilm Finepix F100fd?

Of course I also want to replace my DSLR as well. It sounds like 2008 is going to be an expensive year for me. ;)

Controls and lens aside, it should give similar performance and output to the Sigma SD14 since they share the same sensor. IQ on the Foveon X3 sensor is supposed to be excellent. The body looks similar to the Ricoh GR Digital. I hope Sigma works hard on making easy-to-use manual controls - they would have a real winner on their hands.
