Very good effort from Nikon, but needs some work
Strengths: RAW, GPS, high quality images, very sharp, excellent grip, support for Nikon pro flashes
Weakness: No live histogram, RAW support for Mac is third party only, no battery charger (ac adaptor only), OVF is very basic
I like this camera a lot. Nikon is getting serious. Of course, the best features of this camera are RAW (NRW - new format) capability and GPS. Image quality coming from this camera is outstanding. You will need to tweak defaults in JPG settings if you plan to shoot in that format, but after you're done, you will be simply amazed at images you're getting. This is a direct competitor to Canon G10, but unlike the latter, it doesn't offer live histogram that I would prefer, and it has less manual dials. GPS is a big advantage though, and it works rather well. This camera is smaller than G10 and has a much nicer grip.

Mac OS X does not —repeat not— require 3rd-Party support for the RAW compatibility.
