I never took the last step to buy one.
First: Which one? The only types with EVF were always the V versions and here Nikon pounded new interesting features into the next body - and took other interested features which were nearly the reason to buy the old one, away.
Second: the lenses - or so to say, the non-lenses. Lots were just not available. About the "too big mount" - that was a funny remark, BC, I had lots to wish for, but never thought about the mount size - there's a limit to miniaturisation, even to japanese hands.
Third: no fully articulated tilt/swift screen - no buy.
Fourth: The prices were alright. For grown up cameras. But for these bonsai-versions? I could not help, but the cameras were the "toy-camera" mode becoming form. You can play Beethoven on a mouth harmonica. But some dudes will notice. Several times I took pen and paper and did the addition and it was the value of a serious thing - just not the appearance or feel.
