One has to ask why it couldn't be done sooner.

MILCs have always had a problem with battery life. I might be mistaken but the only older MILC model with a DSLR battery was the Nikon V1. Otherwise...

Meh. The camera I use the most has 480p video. I don't care.

So true.

Then again the lack of zoom lenses kinda make them predisposed to be cult cameras.

So does the brand. Go to any electronics store and try to find a Ricoh.

As a N1 user, I'd say m4/3 provides all of the advantages these days (maybe except of the lightning fast focusing) without the disadvantages of only having a small selection of slow lenses and...

I remember in Dec 2005, I was buying a digicam.

I needed to compare Canon A610 with some Panasonic model. In the most popular electronics store it was MADNESS. Hordes and hordes of people buying...

Damn reminding me of Fuji SuperCCD brings a tear to my eye.

Best TT in a loooooong time if not ever.

I browsed DCR not long ago to re-read some old reviews, just like I sometimes to revisit old DPR reviews from the era when they were still worthwhile.

M bodies are comparable in price with high-end C or N bodies. Lenses are way more expensive.

Obviously you want more than one lens.

Plus Leica bodies can be obtained from ebay for a lower price...

That's an interesting discussion. Either way since I'm the OP:
1) I wasn't talking about an M in particular but making the CL a more affordable (alternative to) M instead of doing all these...

Why can't hey just make it a more affordable M in APS-C format instead of all these experiments I don't know.

Well yes I know because they want to sell the M's. But still. The control scheme looks...

The idea is not bad but they keep getting some details wrong. The pricing is off either way. $100/mo before and $1/photo today, both are weird. Who takes less than a 100 photos on a vacation? Maybe...

Yea, but if I were to pick a m4/3 camera (which I hope to, eventually) it would always have been an Olympus. Panasonics are just painful to use for me. But this one finally looks decent.

I'm conflicted. On one hand I hate DxOMark and what they are doing to photography - it's again just about the numbers, like people used to obsess over MPx and lines per mm now they obsess over...

They still have employees left to lay off?

Cute hands, can DPR review those instead of some silly lenses?

Well, it took only 2 decades but it seems that Panasonic and Sony finally learned how to make cameras.

Hell maybe the next iteration of the RX100 will be finally enjoyable to use.

Is the Nikon FM still being made?

(I know it's not really a Nikon, that's not the point, just wondering if there are decent new 35mm film cameras still available.)

(And I also know I can get a...

Nice one. Yea I've had some troubles explaining how to bounce the flash on S1 to other people :-P

I'm sure the tech teams in Nikon are extremely capable and the DL would have been great machines. It's the managers and accountants that keep sinking Nikon. Either way, remember the hype and ...

Murray: Alright. I just repeat what I've heard elsewhere that Nikon doesn't look at grey market stuff :)

Zoran, the question is whether Nikon products will continue being imported 'officially'...
