The camera manufacturers have to keep the friggin' price down on these compact enthusiast cameras so that the people like "us" can actually justify buying one. 800 bucks for a Sigma DP1 is way too much. I'd rather buy a new lens.
- AF will be contrast-based, so don't expect any miracles.
- it won't have an OVF either. (no half-mirror, remember?)
So it'll be a cheaper DP1 with interchangeable lenses.
