Nikon SQ Specifications Revealed
Following on from the Nikon SQ teasers debacle last week, the French website Chasseurs d’Images has revealed quite a lot of detail about the specification of Nikon’s square camera.
You may want to take this information with a large pinch of salt, as Nikon haven’t even officially announced the camera yet. But apparently Chasseurs d’Images have a past history of accurately leaking information about Nikon products, so who knows, it may all be true?
Website: Chasseurs d’Images - Nikon SQ
Here’s a few excerpts for you in (translated by Google) English:
“Nikon Coolpix SQ is a ultra-compact apparatus of square form, which measures approximately 8,5 X 8,6cm but which, in proportion, will seem relatively thick: 2,55cm, is close to the double of Dimâge X!”
“The relatively significant thickness of the SQ is explained by the presence of a zoom of good level, offering at the same time a raised resolution, a low distortion and performances macro record. As opposed to what known as rumour Internet, it is not a question of a zoom x5: Nikon wisely chose to equip the SQ with a zoom of amplitude x3, associated a foction numerical zoom. The resolution is, it also, very wise since sensor CCC of the SQ is very wise 3,3 Mégapixels.”
“The price of the SQ is not stopped yet but it should be located at less than 599 euros. This apparatus will be presented at the beginning of March in the LDC of Las Vegas, but it will not be on sale before the second fortnight of April.”

Not even the Google toolbar? I don't think it's that dangerous
Install it at home - it's quite handy
