I was starting to get a bit worried that he realised he was a troll and had
thrown himself under a bus. ;-)

They're hoping to have it by Christmas but most probably the beginning of
next year. It is coming, there's no doubt about that.

WOW! A whopping 5.2MP. So by Sigma math, that comes out to 15+MP?

One might think that but the numbering system seems more akin to the body

body than the SD9 and SD10. Although the model number is different, it is
an upgrade from the SD10, not a downgraded consumer model.
