Don't convert currencies, the prices I quoted do not apply to the US or any other market except India

For US I'd guess around 250$ for the QX10 and ~500$ for the QX100
Or roughly 85-90% of the RX100 II and 75-80% of WX150 price.

Well, in all fairness he got certain point. I guess quite a number of people expected more: Xenon flash, larger sensor, overall smaller device..... Same happen with S4 rumours, remember ceramic body was almost confirmed by Eldar (yeah, I know
, don't start it), however final design was a real disappointment to me (cheap plastic, same ol', same ol').
I guess rumors are kinda double-edged sword, feeding you until last moment and then boom! - a huge fall, back to reality.
Back to Honami: will it also have shatter-proof film/plastic on the top of the screen? And what's the point of it? I have replaced my wife's XZ protector twice, as it gained some ugly scratches.
Why Sony put such things in a first place, when XZ suppose to have dragontail/Gorilla glass (OK, Sony calls it tempered glass)?
Cheers,
Miki

afaik there's only two things from the rumors that does not seem to be on the actual device, and it's the xenon and large sensor, but even though there's no large sensor, from the leaked sample the picture quality is already good at least for daylight, so in the end we still get superior camera and in return we get a slim device with no hump at the back unlike if it did have that large sensor.
at least for me, there's still no disappointment yet on the upcoming honami.
People who say that it's nothing but a refreshed Z are terribly mistaken imo because screen, camera quality, physical camera button, higher water resistance and performance are a huge improvement from the Z. I'd hardly call that a refresh.

BTW the shatter proof sheet is supposed to prevent breakage of the glass in case you drop the phone, it's supposed to distribute the impact so that the whole glass should absorb it and prevent it from shattering due to concentrated impact, although I'm also confused as to why there is one on some Sony devices when the glass itself is already supposed to be shatterproof. My xperia go does not have it when I bought one brand new.

The glass itself is scratch-proof, but not shatter-proof. The more scratch resistance you get the less shock absorption in general. It's why a Galaxy S3 or S4 doesn't scratch easily but breaks right away when dropped. Sony's solution isn't optimal as scratches get very visible but it really helps reduce the amount of broken displays.
And for 2014, I still don't believe in 3GB or 4GB. 2GB is perfectly fine and very very roomy for Android.

i hate that shatterproof sheet. it is a fingerprint/face oil magnet. the glass itself is much more forgiving. but i won't remove it because the last time i did (my x10), i dropped my phone and the glass cracked.
I suppose you can remove the shatterproof film and replace it with a 3rd party screen protector, but in my experience, those are much thicker for one, and they are never as strongly adhered. they eventually begin to peel off with pulling it in and out of your pocket.
it sucks :/ i wish they would put a fingerprint proof/resistant coating on the shatterproof film or something.
