nikon's CD AF are not class leading, and it has way too many pixels, on tiny sensor.
The pany ts3 is almost certainly better in many ways.

Yes, I read about that. If they think that is a nikonos they are nuts.

Amazing but so far I have yet to see Nikonrumors be significantly off the mark. I don't know if this is really a Nikonos, but its the closest thing we have seen in digital. It has a ways to go to be a genuine dive camera. They certainly prove that a Digital Nikonos is possible and I think this is the best argument I have seen for mirrorless.

As I said in another thread, nice camera for snorkelers or if you are humping in a rainforest during the rainy season.
