gsum: I'm clearly not talking about high end DSLR's. I own a Nikon DSLR, and I'm pretty sure they've got the edge in that market. I'm talking about what they've got going on at the lower end. ...

Nikon's in a weird position of having to keep pressing on with a bizarrely inferior CX format that maintains no connection to their pro line, or playing catch-up with Canon, who are looking like by...

It's certainly not necessary for everyone, but to say there's no reason to have an EVF is obviously false given how many people are interested in having one

Good points, but imagine what your bag weighs with a small set of EF-M lenses compared to EF or EF-S

Do you think Nikon is really going to do DX mirrorless? Not saying they won't, but it's hard to imagine them doing that AND continuing the CX mount of the 1 series

People are going to eventually wake up and realize that smartphone pictures blow. I really believe this.

Obviously, the smartphone is going to suffice for many (if not most), but I don't think...

c_henry: You're right that they've had plenty of time to observe the market, but as of right now, I would bet you that the mirrorless market is still a tiny fraction of the overall market. So even...

I might also add that it is at least comforting that all 7 of the Amazon reviewers for the NX200 think it's a great camera.

I just wish this had come out earlier. I've been a devoted Canon P&S user, but I chose to go to Nikon for my first DSLR. I love my D5100 and the glass I've got for it so far, but the idea that...

I totally agree. There are a lot of short-sighted people on this forum who seem to think this is the last word on Canon MILC. Right now, they've put themselves in a great spot to feel out the...

Dougbm_2: Because they couldn't have had EF/EF-S compatibility ahd they done that. Sony's proven that an APS-C can work with mirrorless. And now, they're always going to be able to lord sensor...

Jeez, the format JUST launched. Maybe give them a year to develop more lenses? Nikon's CX system only has four so far, and isn't even compatible with their other gear.

I think Nikon made a huge mistake with the CX format, and I thought so months ago. Canon chose a larger sensor that provides continuity with the rest of their pro line. For people who make most...

@Vitruvius According to Amazon, the NX200 lists for....guess how much...

$899

You've gotta take these initial MSRPs with a grain of salt.

For your first point, that's exactly what the review was saying. They didn't say anything about Canon not developing a FF, just that it wasn't possible for EF-M.

For your second point, there's...

It's not a high-volume item, yet it takes a decent bit of engineering to produce. It will come down in price over time.

Will it be missed by anyone?

I think people are being a bit hysterical about the lack of EVF. Before I finally went SLR, I took thousands of great photos with my G10, almost never using its optical viewfinder, and often in...

I think it's pretty clear that this is only Canon's first foray into mirrorless, and that they've targeted this toward the bottom end of the poweruser market. Not to knock this camera, because it...
