Re: Nikon AW1 underwater mirrorless

Finally a solution for the usual case when you're 15m deep and 1/8000 of a sec is too bright.

ROTFL on that one! For a second I thought you were serious, then I saw the specs!

Nikon 1 AW1

With a small sensor and expensive price, I never really considered Nikon 1 as "legitimate" competitor against APS-C sized mirrorless cameras. However, with this product innovation, I guess this made Nikon 1 at least reasonable for sports and adventure-crazed photographers who wants something more than a weather-sealed camera. Will EOS-M follow through?
