Sorry for the third "Should Nikon get involved with ~~~~" but the cell phone kind of worked, right Niko
Anyway in another thread we were wondering if Nikon should make a Digital Nikonos Camera, great idea, but would be very expensive and would newer be a widely sold product, but a very well made waterproof P & S camera could sell very well
We sure sell lots of Waterproof Olympus Cameras and I could see Nikon make one also. Panasonic made one, boring just a copy really and the one from Canon is to big and ugly. So Nikon make the camera tough, sort of like Pelican Case tough, with a very strong seal and door closure. It would be thicker than both the Olympus and Panasonic.
So if you build a camera inside a body looking like a smaller version of the underwater housings that you can get for canons and olympus, it should still be fairly compact and maybe able to go down 30 - 40 meters, compared to 3 - 10 in current cameras
What do you think
