be positive - maybe it also makes a good film twice as good?

so, damned if they do, damned if they dont?

"I only have a shower in the house"

reminds me of boarding school - they did used to have a shower out of the house, bloody cold in winter ;)

So I can drop this thing, camera and lens combined, from the height of a doorway onto what - concrete, asphalt, soft grass? - it lands excruciatingly at an angle on the rim of the lens, and then I...

and Manchester (UK). Sony once got into trouble for an ad featuring their all-weather cam-corder with the billing that it would be ideal for Mancunians. The regional tourism authority took umbrage...

but who knows what future lenses may hold - why not some OIS, maybe?

Actually, I wonder - if you attached a massive (as in: mass, not size), but neutrally buoyant load to the camera, I guess that...

Presumably there are differences in the lens mount which are exploited by the AW lenses, and which account for the AW lenses not being able to fit on the other (non-AW) 1 cameras. However I...

@graybalanced
That sounds very true. If you assume a fixed probability of any one card failing (irrespective of the card memory size), then there is no gain from swapping one big card for several...

absolutely right Rod. I think the EVF and compact camera should be natural bedfellows. How on earth camera makers have got away for so long peddling cameras with the single most important part of...

I'm in two minds as to whether that spec is just confused from the screen spec, which is identical. There is no mention of the EVF spec in any of the Nikon material that I have seen,...

I see that. It seems strangely similar to the LCD screen spec. I see no mention of the EVF spec on Nikon's own spec list:

How do you know? I've searched in vain for any spec on the Nikon EVF. Have you seen any details?

@RichRMA
Spot on!
Maybe one day we will look back in wonder at the lost decade of camera design, when they forgot about the most important aspect of the interface - the viewfinder.
Every so often I...

I think the viewfinder is one of the most important features of any camera. I have lived the past decade bemused as camera design has veered off-course down the path of no viewfinder. It would be...

Have I missed where the spec of the single new feature (the EVF) is listed? This camera launch is, so far as I can see, essentially about adding an EVF to an existing camera. It seems curious...
