To be lambasted by the photography community, but still sell a lot of them to consumers at retail? Some of the features - such as the Smart Photo Selector, which takes 20 photos in rapid succession then analyzes them and allows you to pick from the best five - are interesting and could be very appealing to consumers. Heck, I'd like to see that feature on my next camera! The 10 fps full-resolution capture is also intriguing because it includes auto-focus tracking; with focus locked it will capture a blistering 60 fps. So is a Nikon 1 on your wish list?</p>

Reading through comments about the Nikon 1 on other sites, it seems to be getting universally panned...

Because the majority of people are, to put it mildly, not very bright. There a multitude of reasons why Nikon is going to have a hard time, but most put it down to one factor.
