->> Probably not the best tool for sports photography, but man would I love to get my hands on one of these for a few days.

Only 7 MP but it does save raw files in DNG.

->> Thanks Dennis, my link worked for me in both IE and Firefox for some reason.

Anyway, I'm not sure what the "Huh"s are for, I tried not to be ambiguous. To clarify things:

Zeiss: World-class optics design and manufacturing since 1846

1800mm: A focal length

f5.6: An aperture (some call it an f-stop)

7 MP: Resolution

DNG: Adobe's open-source RAW format

I can't help you much with the rest.
