It never hurts to make your first choice the right one, and in all
likelihood the Nikon LS4000 will be stellar. However, I'd wait for a
few reviews. The specs on the Kodak 3600 were very encouraging, but
some people were quite disappointed in the software.
Phil Edmunston, the author of Lemonade, suggests never buying a newly
designed car in the first year. I have come to similar conclusions with
most things. Unless you have to have it now, or you feel you need to be
on the leading edge, you will probably pay a premium for having it first
both in terms of price and in some defects which will be corrected in
several months to come. Even the esteemed Polaroid SS4000 had a few
trials in its early release.
Just my opinion.
