To their preview for this new Nikon. High-end compacts of years ago
didn't have TINY sensors, they had 2/3" sensors considerably larger
than the ones in any compact now. Had they kept up with the same
sensors, with new technology and processing, they might have had
something. As it is, compacts are still lame compared to ANY DSLR,
including units that are CHEAPER than the overpriced compacts in
question.

Perhaps you were thinking of the Sony DSC-F828, which had the same
size sensor as the Olympus C8080WZ? Of course both these cameras had
*very noisy* sensors.

And each were considerably larger cameras than the new Nikon. To quote

mind."
