I bet that's were the battery fits, in the hand grip.I'm much more concerned about the stone age soldering that is being done. I can bet it will have the same, or similar, board problems as every other camera since the SLX.
An exception has been the SL66E, etc., series. s. On Sep 12, 2007, at 6:00 AM, Jan Decher wrote:
Carlos:Is the hand grip removable on the Hy6? Does it work without it? Otherwise it doesn't look very portable.Does it use a focal plane or lens shutter, or both?

There is a bit of confusion about the camera electronics development, the camera electronics was developed by two little companies from Swiss in conjunction with Rollei, when Jenoptik bought the project, Jenoptik added their digital backs, now some announcements are saying the electronics comes from Jenoptik; yes, but the electronics for the Sinar Hy6 digital back.- All the best Carlos
