Looks fairly promising as a general use DSLR (except for the sensor aspect
ratio). Hard to say about astronomical imaging, though. That will depend on the
noise characteristics of the camera, which are not available at DP Review. I do
think they are squeezing too many pixels into too small an area, though. The
5.3u pixels don't bode well for a low noise, high dynamic range camera. But
we'll see. Does the camera have mirror lockup? I didn't see that in the review.
