Nikon Coolpix S1 predictions

Apr 13, 2005 8:25AM PDT

I know it's always risky to speculate about the future, but I'm hoping someone here who has experience with Nikon cameras will do so about the S1. Obviously I wouldn't expect anyone to stake their reputation. I've been looking at reviews of other Nikon's, and they seem to get consistently high marks. The main thing I'm concerned about is the absence of a viewfinder - do Nikons tend to have LCD screens that work well in bright sunlight? Does anyone (other than Gail O, who seems to have disappeared) have any experience with D-Lighting or the Face Priority system? How about Nikon's much bragged about Red Eye Reduction? I know all these features exist on currently available cameras.

What I'm especially looking forward to in the S1,
1. 640 movie mode
2. Warning when camera shake blurs the picture
3. Internal zoom lense, which I hope will reduce the blurring when the camera moves.
