It seems that such a form factor has the advantage of being able to
optimize the whole system to work at the very best performance
possible. The lens only has to work with one sensor, the sensor with
only one lens, you can place every lens element exactly where it
needs to be, without any compromise for registration distance. There
is no chance of the mount getting loose. There is no mirror slap to
blur the image. There is much less chance of getting dust in the
system. For that matter it would be much simpler to design very
effective weather sealing. Plus, with this one, if you want the
field of view of a 50mm lens, just crop it down to APS and you still
have 12MP to work with.
If I were told to engineer the very best performance, using today's
technology, at a particular focal length, I'd develop something that
was technically a "Point and shoot", though probably a lot more like
rangefinder.. Somehow though, I doubt that Sony actually did
engineer the very best possible performance in this form factor.
Larry, you grok rightly.
