A little caution seems to be applied: The review
from my local info broker (text in German --
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/63078)
states that this camera still has the problem
with significant vignetting, when used with
(ultra) wide angle lenses, since the sensor
still cannot cope with rays not coming in
straight, but angled. May be a serious drawback.
