Reading the article made me think he was not in touch with the essence of
going on but then when clicked on the video I realized he really is. 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.
