First P&S that may "may" not be a piece of crap?

Sick of the idiocy of the ultrazoom, itty-bitty sensored junk that
they sell as P&S's today? Maybe this one will be different. An f2
lens! Shades of 2001 and the Olympus C-3040!! A conservative zoom
range and a larger sensor.

Well, it appears to be the first since the Nikon 8400 to have a 24 mm
equivalent wide angle. This camera, after it comes out, could very easily
depress the high used prices that the Nikon 8400 gets (due to its
desirability among real estate appraisers and the like).

Maybe. Personally I'd never swap my 8400 for one, and I'm not even a real
estate guy.
