That's supposed to be the worlds smallest full frame mirrorless camera, can't wait to hear reviews about it. Thanks for the tip.

Was this the one you thought would be the least expensive FF camera? Obviously not so but I do not think the price is too high. It's the only interchangeable lens camera without the mechanical shutter? That's cool.

Pricing has not met with expectations, but that claim was made before Canons plastic RP model was released too.
But it is still the smallest and lightest FF Mirrorless.

Without the RP for that price it can only be the least expensive FF MILC but not least expensive FF as the Nikon D750 and D610 were less than that at the time. But still I am not complaining about the price. Small is very nice although still not pocketable even with the smallest lens. I think the controls are difficult to use due to the small size.

Its clearly designed to attract the video crowd. Not really still photo friendly at all.

I don't think we'll ever find a full frame camera that's actually pocketable, hasn't been invented yet, any interchangeable lens camera with the lens attached can't be considered pocketable. But still, a Sigma full frame camera with a foveon sensor, that price isn't bad.

It doesn’t have a Forveon sensor. It has a regular Bayer sensor.

That I didn't know, thanks for the correction.

Interesting.
No viewfinder, no grip, no hot shoe, no tilt/flip screen etc.
Once you make into a usable camera it has grown huge and the price has skyrocketed.
I could take the RP and remove all those features and make it smaller, lighter and even cheaper.

No EVF would be a deal breaker for me. I changed my first mirrorless because in bright sunlight and no EVF it was not usable.

Probably depends on the size of your pockets....the Leica M10 with 35 summicron comes close.

It does seem to be a video camera when you add all the accessories. Not so much a still camera as although it can use a flash but only sync at 1/30 sec. It has no hot shoe so you have to add a flash bracket and sync cord or use handle mount flash.
