And, they will set a high price so that people will think they are getting some super high resolution camera. Still, its probably all thats needed.

I find it interesting that they’re throwing a lot of technology specifically against this niche. I wonder how big that market segment actually is?

I'm sure it's going to be fine for what it is. Personally, even if I was "only" vlogging, I would want the versatility of interchangeable lenses and full manual control. But for most vloggers, this will be a nice upgrade from the front-facing camera on their smartphone.
