It seems a curious launch to me: does it reflect disappointment in P1000 sales and the need to generate some interest in super zooms in the face of good competition?
It could simply be an upgrade. Adding raw, better EVF for a start. Price suggested is approaching the lowest I have seen for the 1000.
Steve,The 1000 has a brighter EVF and the manual option is a huge asset.

There is setting in the evf so you can brighten the image, it is medium by default. Same for the monitor.
I am 83 and struggle to walk far, even made myself a walking frame with wheels, but the extra weight of the 1000 is no problem, especially when it comes to taking pictures

Hi Mark, you are probably looking on the screen menu, try using the evf menu and it should be highlighted,
