Actually it wasn't. A bag is missing a cat somewhere. I cannot publish my info until the Sony press conference Sunday afternoon. Please still check back then, it's worth it I promise!

Now THAT is cool.. EX3! I wonder why they skipped EX2.. anyone wants to let go of their EX1 alr ha ha??

Phil Bloom · April 12th, 2008, 11:22 AM

Apparently Sony don't like even numbers!

Oh, and I have created a thread in the EX3 section for my review (when I can post it).

Dale Stoltzfus · April 12th, 2008, 11:24 AM

Wow! I thought I was excited about the EX1.... now I'm REALLY excited! But now the tough decision comes - do I really need the extra features of the EX3? Besides, depending on the price, I might end up going for Scarlet. RAW is a huge attraction.

Phil Bloom · April 12th, 2008, 11:26 AM

be good to see the Scarlet

Dale Stoltzfus · April 12th, 2008, 11:35 AM

Ok, so now details have been removed from the page, but I still have the old page up in my browser. Does anyone want me to paste the text into a reply here? If so, am I allowed? :)

Steve Connor · April 12th, 2008, 11:38 AM

Someone's in trouble!

Sean Seah · April 12th, 2008, 11:39 AM

Seriously don't do it. Nigel removed it for a reason.

Dale Stoltzfus · April 12th, 2008, 11:45 AM

Ok, I won't. What about a picture or two, though?

Christopher Ruffell · April 12th, 2008, 11:51 AM

I'd like to see this new camera as much as the next guy or gal, but alas I missed the posting too.

Since it'll be announced very shortly, I think it's best you wait till it's announced as well. I can only hope it'll be worth the wait.. and sounds like there's a good chance of that! :)

Phil Bloom · April 12th, 2008, 11:52 AM

probably fine. But who I am to know what can and can't be done! There are loads of pics out there now!
