Weather sealed, anti dust and a host of other feature`s this should do well.

Yes it is, the difference will be apparent when that information has ben stretched by curves/levels.
Taken from the DPreview hands on preview:
Quote:Interestingly this CCD has slightly different specifications than the Sony unit used in a few other ten megapixel digital SLR's so we can't be sure of its origins. It's 23.5 x 15.7 mm with 10.75 million total pixels, 2-channel read-out.
So it may not be a Sony CCD, maybe samsung?

I think the RAW file only stores 14 bits as per other cameras, so it will have no consequences for post processing. BUT if the camera does in-camera processing - i.e. curves and levels - then you might get an advantage. Someone suggested it will help with the in-camera noise reduction. We will see.

If the Raw file is only 12 bits like other manufactures, then I cannot see much benifit. Yes, the camera could do extra processing when saving to JPG, but will only be saved in 8 bit.
Well, that is all speculation. Can't wait to see how this one performes. With this, Canon's 400D, Oly's E400 and Sigma's 14D - this year's photokina is going to be Very interesting! We don't even know Sony's plans yet...
