Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1 Preview

http://www.dpreview.com/articles/sonydscr1/

This is a most interesting camera! It uses the same sensor as in many
DSLR cameras (21.5 x 14.4 mm) and so offers much better noise performance,
but has the live preview we expect from a ZLR and the lower acoutsic noise
and more compact size you can get without all the moving parts (mirror)
present in a DSLR. 24 - 120mm (equivalent) zoom.

Is this the start of a new line of cameras? Is this the camera for you?
