The camera's very close to getting it perfect. But the battery life, slow Raw processing (and locked down controls while writing to card) and no consideration for an EVF (unless Samsung release a different statement - that's what we've been told for now) leave it a whisker short of incredible. Fix those first two things and this would've been a Gold Award camera.

i don't understand your lens comment. yes, the 60mm macro is large, as it has to be to extend to 1:1 magnification. But it has more, and better pancakes than all other CSC's. The 16mm, 20mm, 30mm and 20-50mm zoom are all pancake lenses. Sony has only the 16mm (which is of lower image quality) and no others planned due to short flange distance. m43 has the 14mm and 20mm. Both are good lenses, but rely on software correction.

Re: lenses. Consider the NX200 (and indeed Sony NEX) lenses in comparison to Nikon 1 and Micro Four Thirds systems. The APS-C sensor sizes are quite different and require larger lenses - that's an important consideration for consumers that may not immediately think about such things.

If anyone is interested I have some pictures from the NX200. Super Macro taken with reverse mounting and 20mm. http://www.flickr.com/photos/didmyself/sets/72157627822053437/
