Definitely agree that the ISO numbers are getting too big. There is a lot going for the DIN system.
For those not familiar with the DIN system
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_speed

ISO --- DIN
25 --- 15
50 --- 18
100 --- 21
200 --- 24
400 --- 27
800 --- 30

You get the drift!




The A7S Sony camera seems to be much more useful than the other ones in the A7 range.
If I wasnt into the Fuji range of X cameras then I might be interested. also the Sony lens range is a bit limited.
Of the not Canon and Nikon manufacturers I think Olympus/Panasonic have the bbest lens range but Sony have some very innovative cameras but for a combo of both Fuji take a lot of beating. The new XT1 has had a few teething problems but it is a great camera to use.



I do think that Nikon need to think long and hard about the advantages/disadvantages in DSLR of Optical v. EVF. They could with a little thought build another game changer like the F and F2 with different viewfinders or maybe have the same sensor based camera but one with EVF (electronic viewfinder) and other with OVF (optical viewfinder).
