I agree Cen!
A rather disappointing announcement by Nikon IMHO...
A new lens system means Nikon users like us won't be able to leverage our existing lens collection. Secondly, smaller sensor and more expensive pricing make me feel like they're trying to rip their fans off. Thirdly, first generation systems are barely worth getting, there's definitely a lot of teething issues to iron out for the next model revision (think Olympus' first PEN).
In the mean time, my wait for the perfect sub-DSLR Nikon continues..
Thanks for letting us know of the release Ming. Hopefully the next major announcement have the winning punch!

re: Next Gen
These mirrorless cameras are meant to be a step up from a p&s but not at the level of a DSLR. IMO, it's nice to be able to change lenses but be very compact, sometimes it's tough to lug around a DSLR. Canon should be announcing something soon, but so ...

I told you so:
Different lens mount . Don't know why Nikon is putting a small sensor... Disappointing. Better take a look at Sony nex7. cen@nagoya

Another announcement in a few weeks.....
I'm anxiously awaiting the D800 (or whatever they are calling the D700 replacement), I want a FX really bad. Hopefully Nikon makes the announcement in October. Canon should be releasing info on their products too. -MW
