It's a lot of money for a camera that in this day & age doesn't shoot 4K. Even with the limited time a body of this size would probably offer, at least it would be there for short clips.

Reasons to buy this instead of an A7r II are......? Bueller? Anyone?

I was wondering that exact thing! Looks like a very nice small travel camera, but the price says it might be for the guy who has everything else and some money to spare.

You should buy it and let us know how good it is. :)

I do think it would have a niche market.
Full frame but fixed lens and small. I don't think there's any other "Point and Shoot" with specs like this.
At 480 g / 1.9 lb it's well suited for a small hand held gimbal.

It would be interesting to see how well the auto focus works and locks onto a subject. It could make for very shallow depth of field gimbal shots.

Otherwise one might get an RX100 or even an RX10 with their slow mo capabilities but much deeper DOF.
