It amazes me that with all the great components lying around, no one has put together a p+s pocket camera that is worth a crap. There are quite a few that approach goodness, till you look at lens length, batteries, weight, size, price, low light capability, shoddy construction, price [M8 anyone?], ergonomics, operability, and now, just to put a finer point to the matter, a question with software, and native M$ toe-lick-ability. I guess that no lens or camera maker wants to see a superior p+s on the market for fear that we won't feel the need to debate the purchase of several stones' worth of glass and mechanics.
At gm, ford, mercedes, et al, they will actually kill the family and the neighbors of anyone who designs a successful electric car or a better battery. How would they stay in business selling large, gas guzzling cars which have been designed and put together to fall apart within 3 years, if there were better alternatives on the market?
Are the auto makers really so inept and incapable that they can not build, market, sell and deliver a reasonable electric car TODAY? For about $5000 to $10,000 US? The same is true of Nikanon: sure they could put the D3 sensor and processor along with a rock+roll zooper-zoom lens into a p+s with practically off-the-shelf components -- TODAY. But it's not in their business plan.
Remember, products are about the manufacturer, not the consumer....
