Otherwise who cares, there are other vendor making non-interchangeable compacts already. The reason we care if it’s Nikon or not is because we have F mount lenses.

See what kind of print you can make from a 3.25 x 4.25 b/w negative. Yeah, it is not as instantaneous as digital. It takes 30 seconds to develop. I curse Polaroid for going out of business and for the ending the production of instant negative film! Break out some 665 from your fridge, if you got it.

How many people in the real world and not NR want that? 1 in 10000? I want a compact-as-possible (canon G or smaller) non interchangable compact retractable 18-55 VR lens. It better have live view, and a good video mode aswell. Doesn't even need a viewfinder as far as I'm concerned. A hotshoe would be nice I guess but probably not necessary. NR ADMIN: just a little nit about the site. when I click on a link that's in someones post, and then press the back button to come back here, it takes me to the top of the thread instead of back to scroll positing I was on previously. Not a big deal, but get's a bit annoying, most sites have this capability. Otherwise and excellent run site! cheers!

Or that it will look nothing like the X1 so that's why they can deny it.

I predict there will be a dual announcement: D3s and D700X. However if there was an MX announcement, that would surely throw the cat amongst the pidgeons.

What I don't want is another fixed prime or a camera thats 90% the size of a DSLR when it's wearing a pancake and basically the same size when wearing a zoom (see EP1 and GF1).
