And I'll have to admit in my quest for a waterproof digital camera that it
was really a digital Nikonos I most hoped for.  My idea of perfection in
kayaking cameras was the Nikonos that was hitched to a companion paddler
through the Colorado River (Grand Canyon in U.S.) at 30,000 cfs.  Now THAT'S
a camera ready for action, in every sense.

So sorry to hear of the potential demise of the Nikonos.

Letīs have all a minutes silence for the late glorious
Nikonos. I have never seen better & almost shockproof
camera body. With a good lens.
