someone told me that Lightroom is built in, is that true?

According to the press text it does.

While this camera has on paper some interesting innovations / deviations from the established way of doing things, it is ugly (a matter of taste to debate among lovers and haters), possibly have quirky / new ways of handling (did not hold one in my hands) and is going to be expensive.

Congratulations to Zeiss for trying new things, I hope it sells well enough to allow for future iterations.

Also would be interesting to know who is manufacturing this camera - is it Zeiss itself or somebody else? Is most of the internal stuff done by Sony or somebody else? With the looks of the camera reminiscent of the Sigma Quartos and some of their lenses and the flash supporting Sigma (and not Sony) protocols, I am wondering how much involvement did Sigma have in this project.

I do not think so. It probably is carved out of a block of aluminium, just like the Leica T. It probably operates with the touchscreen, just like the Leica T, so, no need for buttons. And it only needs two covers, for the hotshoe (you can see that one) and for the battery (that is on the bottom)

It is a 3D rendering. Even if the structural details are all correctly represented, the hard part after that is giving the object convincing textures and nuanced lighting.

The IKEA catalogue also is a rendering these days

That camera is the size of a small suitcase!   Does it fit into standard airline hand luggage rules?

Actually, I’ve got a mug that looks like a camera lens, so why not have a novelty suitcase that looks like a camera? Or a kettle that looks like a flashgun?
