Wonder if Honami will have the same super duper capacitive screen as the Z Ultra for stylus support.
Saddened by the apparent lack of an IR blaster as I was hoping to use that. Even still, not going to hinder my plan to get it.
On the subject of a xenon flash what does surprise me is the external lenses don't seem to have flashes. Sure they can work without them, but for such accessories a xenon flash would be needed IMO for optimal results.

Uh guys, we don't know exactly yet at least how powerful the LED flash is even if it is single flash, there are some cases where a single larger LED bulb is brighter or equal to two regular size LED bulb.

Something about that 4K presentation I Chinese doesn't seem right. Yes, but does say 4K video recording smartphone and honami is the first blah blah blah, but I don't believe it.
I'm analysing like this, to whom is the presentation be made?
1) Sony sales/dev/management/anyone team? Doubt it, they'd use something better than an early leaked pic and by now they'd probably be using the release name, wouldn't circle a line out of a spec sheet that has been taken from the internet and the presentation would be much more professional looking. They ought to know by now the capabilities of the handset as it will be ramping up production for release in just a month or so.
2) Sony distributers or network carriers? Again a more professional looking presentation should be in order. For selling the product. Not pics and tables easily found online.
To me this leaves one option. It is a group of electronic market stall owners in a city like Beijing trying to educate their stand sales persons of what is coming up. These stand owners will have probably grabbed their info from Chinese forums (which are about as accurate as N Korea's ballistics program). I remember not so long ago going to our electronics in Beijing and being shown a catalogue of concept phones, many of which were from here, and being asked what I'm looking for.
Many of these stands (not all, but most) are blaggers of the highest order. And, furthermore, my entire time in China has taught me to take anything in China as though the presenter is trying to hussle you.
I'd put an XR1.5 on that 4K video recording slide.

Only the 4K is a definite no, fullHD only

.
And the lens accessories are available end of September, but we knew that. I'm tempted to buy one but I already have a nice camera. Maybe next year, or wait for a slightly upgraded version with a bigger lens and sensor.

Yeah, I'll likely wait for an APSC-sized version. I'm going to guess such a unit would utilize the powerzoom lens from the NEX-6. Of course it'll likely be a bit bigger than the RX100 II variant.

Can't believe Sony went with ONE LED for Honami camera. Honami may be close to 1020 in daylight but has no chance at night shots. Why does Sony ALWAYS has this urge to shoot themselves in the foot?
Ambi, u don't need to go to silly sites to read what they WISH u to believe. Go to the 1020 thread on our very own esato forum and you'll know how much worse 1020 is compared to 808

1020 cannot even be compared with 808, it's only a step above the Galaxy S4.

For Low light Honami does have an advantage due to the HHT Mode and brighter lens.
