Something BIG? EX1-R?

Well folks,
There is something looming. Something big. For the past couple of weeks i've been reading little tid bits of information stating that something big from sony is in the works. I've read things from rumors that the ex1/3 would be discontinued soon. Also, that there might be a new better version in the works called the EX1-R. Who knows what it may be. Maybe it's a new camera with a sensor more along the lines of what the new DSLR's are coming out with. Maybe an EX-1 style camera with interchangeable lenses? Who knows. But everyone says it's going to be big. Sony has an e-mail list that you can sign for to recieve the big news as soon as it's released. You can sign up HERE . The only thing i can assure you of, is that it's coming out the 20th of this month (the information, not the product). All of Sony's promotional materials state "YOU SPOKE! WE LISTENED!". It really sounds promising. I just want a bigger chip, and interchangeable lenses. Basically, something along the lines of the 7d's sensor size for the better latitude, but the ability to do everything a traditional camera can do (ie. good audio, etc). Well, lets just wait and see.

As soon as we know, we'll post everything we've got for you here.




AMENDMENT: This announcement came out long ago. It wasn't that big of a deal. Just wanted to clear that up.
