Sony Alpha ILCE QX-1 announced

[Birma]

A QX with a 20 Mpx APS-C sensor, that you can fit any E/FE mount lens to, it shoots RAW, and takes the standard Nex battery . Oh, and it has a tripod mounting point and a built in flash as well!

Pre-order price £249 on the Sony site (I assume this is 'body' only).

My only quandary is whether to get one or to wait for the inevitable FF version next year .

There is a Sony video discussing the camera here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcB-ohKJfRg along with the new QX30.

The QX1 has 10 fps, and 60p video, so no slouch.

Probably the biggest thing to peak my interest was the price. In the US it is $400 body only so I was expecting the normal UK rip off price of £400. Sony UK site has it pre-order for £249 which seems much more reasonable.
