One should remember that since this is "free", it has been deliberately crippled so as to prevent people from using the trial instead of buying the production version. The old adage of "it's not optimized" is really a joke. Software has to be really badly written for it to not run fast on modern machines, and frankly the days of such badly written software are long gone. One can be sure they've checked out the algorithms before they released the beta - otherwise they'll have a devil of a time trying to get the beta to be production worthy.

And since they are not bragging about it, one can safely assume that the ink still emits volatile organic compounds(VOCs). Hence - be careful where you use the printer.

I suspect Nikon is using this as a market test to check reaction to the superfast phase detect AF on sensor plus contrast detect AF. They've [hopefully] got the same kind of thing going on APS-C and FF sensors, both of which are just waiting to be fully ironed out and put into production.

With phase detection on the sensor chip, i'd say that Nikon is using this camera as a market test. They are obviously busy building the technology into their APS-C and FF sensors and just want to see how this particular setup performs market-wise before unleashing the real McCoy on the unsuspecting public. Of course I could be wrong. But I don't think so.

CaNikon is probably busy developing/testing fast phase difference autofocus built into the sensor [somehow]. This could eliminate the irksome situation of the pellicle miror as Sony has it now. If this can be eliminated the sky's the limit and Sony will have a real battle on their hands unless they can produce their own sensor with phase AF built in.

Of course I could be wrong. But I don't think so.
Is it just me or does this look like a severe case of front-focus.....or was the intention to have the cork at the front be in focus?
keysmith: s100 is the right update for s90 (s95 was not..) and sets a new standard for all premium compacts.
btw the new nikon p7100 are in deep trouble.. oops they use the old sensor Canon gave them. lol (just joking, i dont really believe that)
Mmmmhhh...., you did read that this is a completely NEW sensor, right?

As per usual this will never be available to purchase....
I thought this camera was supposed to have USB 3.0???
Problem - No mirror lockup!!!! ;-))))))))
They really should have opted for at least a 1/1.6 sensor for this camera. Big mistake making it so small.
