    compact + low light capability... something nobody wanted to connect so far!

    Granted, we won't know if the claim holds true till we see samples from dpreview , but its about time somebody tried to improve the state of things for people who find even the NEX cameras with their big lenses too big / valuable for some places they travel to.

    Also, Sony has some credibility in that area now, with the NEX5 N outdoing a Nikon D7100 for low light image quality, while Nikon went the other way, releasing those clunky and expensive daylight-only Nikon-1 series snappers...

    With all the Apple hype, people seem to have forgotten all about Sony having made pretty cool stuff over many years...
