It was concise and to the point and with my kind of humor which I think is important when talking tek talk. And I agree the camera certainly is an milestone. A small point I don't think people thought a small full frame could not be done. They just wondered why one was not out yet. A big senor is not all about blurry backgrounds. That's a ridiculous side issue. Its about higher quality images especially in low light.
