Can anyone explain the benefit of multiple lenses vs spending this same money on something like s Sony alpha ff (or any other comparable ff) and a nice lens? Or even if portability is the concern something like the rx100? Seems like once you start spending this much money investing in a full frame with a mature ecosystem gives you way more flexibility and just as good if not better photos.

Not trying to knock it if that's your thing, just wondering if there is a practical advantage to multiple lenses beyond the form factor. Maybe something like more dynamic range if the various lenses are doing different exposures?

Edit: never mind just read their website more carefully, does indeed offer more dynamic range by using multiple exposures. Kind of like HDR with a single click so you don't have to worry about a tripod, etc. Cool idea, would neat if you could do focus stacking and other related tricks as well.

Ok answered most of my own questions, lots of cool ideas and huge mp in a small package - I understand the concept and why this would be appealing. For me it would be more so if they could get it down to rx100 price range, or even a little cheaper, but it's got cool ideas in there. Though digital bokeh has a way to go before I prefer it over optical.
