This looks like it will be an interesting camera.

 

If I had to guess, I would expect it to either be a huge hit for Zeiss or an exercise in humiliation similar to the ignoble Hasselblad Lunar.

No red dot on this one

But it has everything else I expect from a modern digital camera:

- Manual aperture-, shutter-speed- and ISO-controls.

- EVF, touch-screen and no other buttons.

- Full-frame, (I wonder how the fixed 35mm 2.0 lens performs.)

- Zeiss even integrated Lightroom in the software!

- They claim everything works without having to mess around in all kind of menus. (This is why I got rid of my Leica T)

 

Leica disappointed me on the Photokina. I was expecting the Q2.

The Q2 will come too late for me. And it will never come with both the features and the simplicity of the ZX1.
