I lol'ed. (Then again, the only PMA announcement I'm even slightly excited about is that 6x7 Fuji folder, because it shows that companies understand products that are now niche really serve alot of people's needs better than a big DSLR. The Sigma's wide-angle, slow lens folly killed what would otherwise be a great camera. My guess is they made the stupid mistake of designing the lens around the body, meaning it wound up short and slow. It's much smaller than even a Leica CL. They could've made it that size with a fast normal lens and no one could've said a single damn thing negative about it. Or better yet, have it take interchangeable lenses, and make a line of three for it: a wide-angle, a normal, and a medium telephoto. Honest to God, I'd probably pay up for the camera, all three of them, and an auxillary viewfinder for each if they did that. But they had to try to compromise between being able to market this as an upgrade to point and shoot users and marketing this as a serious street-shooter to serious photographers, winding up with a camera that pleases nobody.)
