Yaawwwnnn…..
Honestly, only compacts as a Fuji X10 will excite me now.
f/2-2.8 zoom, 2/3″ sensor, those should be the minimum specs for any decent contender for “high-end compact” now.
But what we all want, really, is an M9 with the 35mm f/2 ASPH…. small, amazing IQ…
Damn you, expensive Leica!!
I would get the aw100 for my girlfriend. She tends to always drop things. She even dropped her cell in the toilet bowl once! So I think that camera suits her best. He’ll she can leave and forget the aw100 in the freezer and it’ll still be fine
Since not much is happening at NikonLand I was wondering whether you have a collection of manufacturers that make adapters for Nikon lenses to be used on different bodies.
I think this would be useful since 1) basically it is almost impossible to buy any Nikon FF (even at MSRP … everyone is out of stock) and 2) many are thinking about using their lovely Nikon glasses on non-Nikon cameras such as the NEX-7. (Even I consider to give a try to that NEX-7)
I could care less about people’s speculations of camera specifics, functionality, etc. I just want to hear that Nikon can now direct it’s efforts to this portion of their product line and finally get something out that we can use. It’s seems that all other areas have been covered recently.
Go at Ken Rockwell website (what’s new) and you get the direct link and also a $30 rebate code !
I just got one, if it’s as good as my Panasonic I return the Panasonic and save $300 !
I’m interested in the AW100. Have a trip to Australia coming up so might be nice to have that around the water. Also need something that does movies. Hoping this turns out to be halfway decent. Just waiting on reviews.
Ha! I live in the midwest of the US and know my limits. The only body of water that I get into any deeper than my shins is a swimming pool. And I always make sure I can see bottom no matter what the water is. :p
@John Doe
I want GPS !
I always expect from my camera to get Great Photo Snaps !
And also I hate been lost in all the camera menus !
So GPS is usefull for everyone !
There isn’t one tough cam on the market that DOES offer RAW. The image quality isn’t good enough. That’s NOT why you by a tough cam. You want to take your DSLR into the water? Drop it from 2M? These cameras have specific purposes. Jesus. The ignorance on this board can be palpable at times. Sheesh, indeed.
Terrific! Can’t wait for the P7100 reviews. Hopefully this addresses what for me has been the real drawback of the P7000 I’ve taken everywhere the last year- the lack of a flipping screen.
This is smaller than the Fuji X10 with a greater lens reach, yet maintaining a zooming optical viewfinder. All in all looking forward to a great package.

YES
Thanks for the update, hopefully my AW100 is on the way.
AW100, semi interesting.
P7100, not interesting at all. Might as well go micro 4/3.

are you trying to say that nikon coolpix are good e nuf for the toilet. ..lol
20 more days before the “french photokina”, no leaks yet ?
I think everything that is going to be announced next week already leaked. I do not expect anything else.

Now let’s move on to the DSLR’s, please.
Like we haven’t spent enough time talking about those. Lol
Nikonrumors talks about all things Nikon. Go to NikonD#DSLRRumorsOnly and NikonD###DSLRRumorsOnly.
Give the admin and us a break.

That actually was one of the more worthwhile posts here!!! very cool. God knows most Americans don’t know how to speak English!! LOL
Umm. Wrong thread. What’s a DSLR?
Boring……….DSLR please before you lose anymore market share.
D800 Please or even D400?
@Hoser
If you’re waiting for the D400 that’s mean you don’t need a D800.
Get a D7000/D5100
Probably will be called D500 for superstitious reasons.
Samsung HMX-Q10 on sale for $139 at ADORAMA

sold out
I got my T&E AW100 a few days ago, will be testing it in full next week in Florida.
Looking forward for your feedback
@yrsued
The best endurance test for the T&W AW100 would be having my kids (and my wife) using it for few hours !

I will have a guest review of the AW100 next week.
Don’t go thinking they’re shark or crocodile-proof!

Doesn’t look like the camo version of the AW100 is for sale in the US? Are they afraid of the militia movement buying these cameras?
Why does every manufacturer have to push a GPS unit into these types of cameras.
I dont want your GPS. You can shove it in your marketing departments peoples back hole.

Yawn, that AW camera doesn’t even have RAW capability. Sheesh!

Scared of compacts everyone is…
Bigger picture you do not see…
Hmmmm?
Compacts lead to mirrorless
Mirrorless leads to lenses
Lenses lead to DSLRs

Size matters not.
I miss my Minox 35mm GT-E
New lenses is all I ask for. When Nikon, when???
300mm af-s f/4 VRII
28-105 af-s/2.8 VRII
200mm af-s f/2.8 VRII
Santa has it in his toy sack.
Interesting pricing.
The US price for the P7100 is $499 and here in the UK it’s £499 which is $788.
That’s the power of market-share for you. We constantly get screwed on price in Australia *cough*Adobe*cough*
That’s good. It saves you from making a big mistake by purchasing it.
Another earthquake (6.6) hit Japan today so the D whatevers will be delayed more.
