The Wifi thing was cool but then has very limited appeal. Olympus is coming out with some wacky marketing lately, not sure what they are up to. 18x zoom and ISO 10,000? What next!

They're obviously killing the prosumer range by getting everyone to get a D40 (and then a SB-800, and then lure them with VR lenses. Business smarts.) It's a shame they didn't just put a new sensor and VR in a Coolpix 995. There's no innovation in their point-and-shoots (unless you count Wifi, and in earlier models, high sensitivity mode mislabelled as VR.) Yay to other brands who still have manual exposure mode cameras. Nikon should be thankful that such cameras exist, to further a customer's love for photography and thus upgrade to SLRs. The Olympus SP-550 UZ, now that's something. Nikon has not been taking their point-and-shoot business seriously at all.

I seriously doubt a compact cam with a teleconverter can equal the sharpness of a SLR with a prime telephoto like the 400mm f/4! The S10 does deliver very good results in the right hands though. moo_t: Yah solid prosumer cameras.

So it will give it (camera optical zoom)4 x (converter lens)3 = 12x zoom (155mm x 3 = 465mm). If S10 allow 2x tele-converter lens, it will give 380mmx2=760mm zoom. Can make DSLR zoom frenzy went riot. ;) opps. about the coolpix 4500 3x zoom, I mean attach a 3x zoom converter lens on it.

My nikon 4500 3x moon zoom still give more details and clarity compare to 300mm DSLR zoom lens shoot in 6megapixel. Imagine putting 2x converter on S10 :).
