It's not really a camera for portraits is it? Unless you mean full-figure portraits the AoV of this lens is going to give horrible distortion.
I'm in two minds on whether or not a [probably stop slower?] lens more like a pancake wouldn't have made this a more portable and therefore more attractive package.
Nevertheless this does look like a fairly unique and fairly compelling camera. I can't help thinking that a top ISO of 25,600 is a bit disappointing given the size of the sensor. CaNikon go two-three stops better with their 35mm equiv and many APSCs [probably using Sony sensors!] are offering the same maximum sensitivity. That fast lens is still going to make it a great low-light performer, but it just seems a shame that they're unable to squeeze every last drop out of that.
I'm never likely to own one of these [poverty], but if I had unlimited cash, or was making a lot from the sort of photography this should be great for, I'd be in the queue.

I call BS - what a terrible piece of reporting.
Leica M9?
Ok not cheap, but it does exist.
Please check facts before publishing.
It's not terrible reporting. It's our house style. We have (like most of the industry) split cameras into sectors / categories. The Leica M9 is a digital rangefinder, there also compact system cameras, single lens reflex cameras and compact cameras (fixed lens) to name a few
