I love the ME-1-Stereo-Microphone you can put on it with a host of other
accessories the system is a late response from what I've read in the past
two days that 40 percent of cameras sold in Japan  are of this elegant
mirrorless configuration and Nikon was conspicuously absent in the field.
Starting at $649.95 says the nikon site.
A disappointment as they did not go with a 1.5 or 2 crop but with a 2.7
crop. So this is not going to appeal to serious users but mainly to the
masses  having more fun with cameraa than with those cameras end result;
photographs.
I'm sure one will follow of a larger sensor but perhaps nikon does not want
to compete against their own DSLR's? In time I think they will though.  As
will most the other companies. Including Leica which already has a smaller
format mirrorless the D lux series.
When this all this leads to an elegant mirrorless affordable solution for my
M glass then I will be a happy camper. And I think it will. I think Leica
will follow. But not before a few others beat them to it.  Me I'd pay a bit
extra for a red dot. .
