That market would definitely be interested in built in GPS, since travel photography is a what this class of camera excels at. NIkon is on what, their fourth try to make a credible alternative to the Canon G / Lumix LX series? It's really amazing how they keep getting the formula wrong. Advice: Faster lens. F5.9? What were you thinking!? Fewer pixels. The enthusiast market has wised up to the megapixel gimmick. Develop a user interface that actually has some sex appeal, rather than just randomly adding buttons and dials. Go for the image quality jugular, and cram a larger sensor in there than the competition. No, not APS-C. 2/3" or thereabouts would be more than sufficient to outgun a G11. Sigh.

And they were all taken with a 5.8MP D1X. Yet, you are "struggling" with 10MP. Forgive my lack of sympathy.

EVIL has got to be the worst acronym I've ever heard for a consumer product. I agree with most of what you said except it will never say EVIL.

It can't handle camera movement well at all. I know everyone hates on HD video functionality in an SLR, but I'm really anxious for Nikon to improve it so I can justify upgrading from my D80. I would love to use some of my lenses (Ultra-wides & 50 1.8) to get some beautiful footage, but with the Nikon quality where it's at right now, it's just a tease. If they come out with a D700x or D800 and have rectified the rolling video problem, my cash is on the counter! The Nikon videos (i.e. D300S) are beautiful… as long as the camera is fixed.

"nikon had planned to unveil a competitor to the G11 in it's recent refresh of the COOLPIX range, but that the camera is not quite ready yet." Apparently on March 8th it'll be ready.
