I'm surprised this wasn't from April 1 - maybe they delayed the release...
Excellent point.

Just was given a $50 Amazon gift certificate and was considering getting a Kodak Ektar H35 for of it all, but may get this instead...

I'll wait for B&H to put it on sale. And be sure to set up a Payboo account - who wants to pay the sales tax on that thing?

On the other hand, if I had such an income I’d probably have bought one by now. And a bigger, faster computer to match it.

Nothing about a viewfinder? Optical or electronic? The XC may not ready for prime time.

Great bridge camera, eh what? The article laughingly seems to regard it as a casual purchase and everyone should have one. I’d take 2, one to use the other to be my back up camera while my butler cleans the lens for me.

For that much money you get: "The camera body is little more than a frame with a shutter release and an integrated handle." This must be a joke.

It's a travel camera, so you'd probably have a bearer along to carry your stuff (are sherpas still available for those jobs?) instead of your butler. ;-)

Of course I’d be doing my traveling in my Gulfstream G4.
