Raptor937 said:I was hoping for something that could actually compete with the Sony NEX7. Something that offers manual controls like the P7100.
The marketing team will have their work cut for them since this product is entering a very saturated market, but offers little in terms of advantages over the established competition.
Exactly. Sony is the the clear winner now, considering the rate they are gaining market share. Nikon's EVIL could potentially be another 'Coolpix' case.

1) very small and light
2) EXPEED 3 processor
3) Backward compatible with Nikon F lenses
Certainly, this thing will not (and is not designed to) replace standard DSLRs. But what I don't know is the pricing. At the right price, say about S$500 - $600, coming in well below the EP3, I will be very interested - this can potentially replace existing mid-range point and shoots.
Sony is not a clear winner.
Small, compact and fast primes are just not there.
Good as a 'sensor platform' for other brand lenses with MF, but not that great with its own lenses.
Too bad Nikon decided not to share in the m4/3 cake and went off with a 2.7x crop.
Would have been great if they joined m4/3 and consumers would then have a larger pool of body/lens choices.
