Nikon's twist-cameras are/were the best thing ever for complicated-geometry snapshots. Too bad they feel driven by the bottom-feeding, tradition-bound marketplace to provide lots of me-too traditional form factor cameras and no new action in twisters. Performance innovators set themselves up for strategic oblivion when they stop offering products that their engineers and technical customers think are cutting-edge, and instead offer products that the mass market wants and that are distinguished primarily by the presence of the used-to-mean-superior-performance logotype.
