I have been checking out the same and I am really impressed with it, the built in GPS feature sound more interesting and I am willing to get it soon, I have not yet found any sites revealing the actual cost of it, is there anyone who has an idea about the approximate cost of it?? Will it be a bit higher as compared to the Nikon Coolpix P500 or there is higher difference between them??
