"Shipping is a bomb"..... I suppose this means it's either expensive or not possible to ship outside Europe. I may never know.

@seanturvey: I see. Thanks.

@Philip Han: What's so beautiful about it? Looks washed out and drab to me. I'm just looking for clarification, seems I'm missing something.

@Zuzax: Me too. :-(

I always thought modifying phones to do macro or even regular video was silly, till these guy's showed the microscope attachment used in the third world to diagnose a disease. I see the value now.

WTF, is that a spaceship getting ready to land on his head?

@ryusen: Upgrading the P&S line every year isn't progress either, but it makes money. Progress to Canon, and any other company, is more revenue. If that means creating a new format to sell, then so be it. Like all things, the market will decide. These are just rumors anyway.

@Turkieshooter: I agree with you about the problem with the format. That's why I'm glad my camera and glass of choice (Nikon) hasn't jumped on this type of format. That said, you can't expect Canon not to move forward with what they think will sell. I'm sure they won't leave the EOS line to stagnate, DSLR's is where…

@The Werewolf: P&S cameras don't have DSLR sized sensors and interchangeable lenses like these MFT cameras.

@Turkieshooter: So the logic is that now that you have purchased your items all progress should stop?

Please proof read this.

That's ghetto fabulous.

I hope it's a 1080p e-ink display.

@ps61318: Sharpies aren't as permanent as they seem/claim. I have a USB dongle with a space on it to write something on. No matter how many times I write on it with a Sharpie it still comes off.

@michael: WTF is a check?

@junyo: " Part of their selling point, and the promise they make to users is that no one other than the user can access data."

When did she become the secretary of state for the world? How pompous for her to say what another country can and can't do. How much shit does America do that the rest of the world dislikes or feels it infringes on rights?

@Plsk1n: Paranoid a little? Maybe you're a secret agent that requires complete security.

@Graviton1066: I wish. I'm actually not a fan of the UAE. I think they exploit 3 world laborers from South Asia without recourse, have low moral value even though they claim they are a devout Muslim country. The whole system, especially Dubai, is based on excess and greed. So in short, I could care less what goes…

@bdinger: Actually, it is the country's call. If they ban BB's then all a user can do is move or break the law. Why would anyone bother over a phone? They'll just by an Android device or an iPhone and move on like nothing happened.
