its competitors are olympus and panasonic with the micro 4/3d lens mount based cameras such as GH1 ,GF1,EPL1 etc which currently are priced on the higher side compared to the new sony NEX cameras.

looks like sony have got themself a winner,considering the more expensive panasonic /olympus compact cameras with interchangeable lens sell like hot cakes.Sony with much better marketing and cheaper price should do well.
Sony will also soon be launching camcorders/Handycam with the same sensors and interchangeable lenses.
