Nikon rumor mill spins tales of manual superzooms this February and EVIL in April

Remember that patent for a manually-zooming Nikon lens? The rumor mill thinks it knows where it belongs:

in Nikon's unannounced CoolPix P500, an update to the company's already-ludicrously-lengthy P100 that adds a 36x optical zoom lens and bumps the backside-illuminated sensor to a full 12 megapixels of resolution.



That camera will reportedly bow in February, but April is when Nikon will allegedly bring out the big guns -- the EVIL, market-molding monster of a mirrorless camera it's been teasing since last summer. Hit up our source links for all the scuttlebutt you need.
