Any Nikon P&S Rumors?

Among my cameras I have a Nikon p&s P7000. Have found it to be a high quality advanced compact for travel and general use. Like the P7000 well enough to consider upgrading to the Nikon P7800. Others in contention include the highly reviewed Sony RX100MIII, the Leica D-Lux 6, and the Canon G16. As good as the Nikons have been, there are certain weaknesses the reviewers keep harping on. I suspect Nikon is not ignoring the criticism. SO...is anyone hearing any rumors of a new Nikon advanced P&S model? I'd rather not buy "my next camera" only to read 48 hours later that it has been eclipsed by something else. No, I'm not as shallow as to be totally into "the next big thing", just don't want yesterday's technology. Too much of a parsimonious Scot - Lol.

I have a Nikon P7100 I bought about 3 years ago, still use it almost as often as my DSLR, controls for this camera are easy to get to, located on top of the camera, no need to dive into the menu. Still takes great looking stills even by today's standards, I'm not considering upgradeing for a while. I'm sure Nikon is coming out with a new advanced point & shoot, companies usually do when their newest model is a year or two old.
My point is...don't go crazy wondering which new brand to buy, just go for whatever strikes your fancy. Whatever you buy today...is going to be replaced in a year or two.

Thanks for the suggestion - interesting comments (but a bit like watching a convention of TV weather forecasters - the ones who never look out the studio window before their broadcast <grin>. Still, fun to imagine tomorrow.

I recently considered the excellent Sony RX100 MIII, but felt that it was too small and uncomfortable to work with. I chose instead the Sony Alpha a6000 which I love so far...it's quite an amazing little camera. It's not that much larger than the other cameras you are considering, but offers interchangeable lenses and many features for a very affordable price. It's worth a look!
