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. . http://www.nikonusa.com/Nikon-Products/Product/Stereo-Microphone/27045/ME-1- Stereo-Microphone.html Or http://tinyurl.com/4x9qsdb -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ > From: Slobodan Dimitrov <s.dimitrov at charter.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2011 09:11:36 -0700 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Nikon 1 System > > Considering how they pissed away all the original ground work with the > Coolpix > series, there are no second chances. > S. > > > On Sep 21, 2011, at 8:38 AM, jwlee01 at gmail.com wrote: > >> In an already crowded field, Nikon announces the Nikon 1 System of >> mirrorless, interchangeable lens cameras in CX format.
