    But then it's been spoiled by badly-judged image processing, a weak and uninspired control layout and innovative but complex technology which could Read more

    I like this camera a lot. Nikon is getting serious. Of course, the best features of this camera are RAW (NRW - new format) capability and GPS. Read more

    • RAW, GPS, high quality images, very sharp, excellent grip, support for Nikon pro flashes
    • No live histogram, RAW support for Mac is third party only, no battery charger (ac adaptor only), OVF is very basic
