I'd buy one if it was priced somewhere around 10% of its current pricetag... :)

12MP -- for over $100K ... I don't think so. A really large sensor will cost a lot more, but having so few pixels means they are very large so yield would seemingly be really high making the sensor less expensive than size would indicate. The ISO numbers didn't look so good and with photo sites that large it should be a demon for high ISO. Problem with small volume anythings is the bang for buck is dreadful and the engineering and R&D is not very high relative to a major companies flagship or lesser models.

Seems to me this is more of a novelty aimed at big NAME photogs and rich guys that need to have boasting rights.

Honestly ... 12MP?

So when they say 4K video they also mean 4k stills :| darn, the 12MP sensor kind of kills the hype.
