Ok, that is a mightily unreasonably long title; might as well put the whole entry there 
But these are special times, crazy times in fact, in its strangely pleasant way that you feel like wanting to go a bit out of convention. There are three convention-defying cameras announced this month, the first being Nikon D3100, the first DSLR to incorporate a full time AF in Live View.
Then Sony announced the SLT A55 and A33, the first two pellicle-mirror cameras, bringing the term SLT or Single Lens Translucent into the camera world. And last but not certainly the least, Canon announcing the 60D, also with a new feature — a vari-angle LCD screen — a first for a Canon DSLR.
August was a heavy month, sings Sir Bob Geldof… “I’ll take another photograph, Before the old one fades, It reminds me of those things that past, And quickly passed away” goes the lyrics.
Is there still a room for another crazy announcement in the run-up to or during Photokina? Is the “distinct” mirrorless EVIL Pentax has hinted it might manufacture can be a truly distinct camera, something as distinct as the SLTs of Sony? Time will tell…
