The camera will come in black and silver versions, though the black one won't be available until 2 months after the silver. Here, they're posing with the block of aluminum from whence they came.

The nicely designed interface lets you drag and drop the most frequently used settings into the main screen. You can also see what a fingerprint magnet it is.

There are two context-sensitive dials to use in conjunction with the touchscreen.

The T series will initially ship with an 18-56mm f3.5-5.6 lens and this 23mm f2 lens.

Using a small tool, you eject the covers from the strap connectors.
