Hard to be interested when mirrorless cameras these days are so exciting.
DSLRs to me are either the real high end where they are still the standout for the pro/enthusiast or the mirrorless which probably mostly outperform the lower DSLRs in most areas and are nice and compact.
Fuji Xpro 1, Sony Nex 7N are very exciting and fantastic mirrorless cameras although admitedly more expensive. No AA filter in the Fuji, a clever colour lens matrix system to emulate film and not require the blurring AA filter (( after the Nikon D800E I am a big fan of cameras with no AA filter)), superb lenses much better than DSLR lenses, image quality rivalling the very very top cameras, Sony Nex7 is 24mp. Even Roland Christen is posting images using a Nex 7 on his AP175 new scopes. Its the future for sure and a logical next step to mobile phone camera users.
There are a large number of cheaper mirrorless cameras this camera would have to compete with. Sony Nex 5N is pretty "cheap" now.
Canon, Nikon V1, Olympus, etc etc all with really high specs.
Autofocus for video is on my iphone and been on Nikons for quite a while and I am sure its been on the mirrorless ones for ages.
I wonder how this DSLR stacks up against similarly priced mirrorless and if Canon has made the performance difference enough to justify the bulky size, slow FPS etc? I suspect not.
I think the trend will be DSLRs will lose ground continuously and the future of the DSLR is more at the top end like 7D on up. And that the real high end will have to break past the 35mm sensor size in the next 6 years to medium format much like we are in astro cameras.
Just my opinion of course.
