When I first saw these images, I was curious about the line around the top of the camera; however, after seeing the built-in GPS in the spec list, I’m convinced the line is a result of the GPS capability.
One way or the other, we should know more next week. Stay tuned.
Anyone see rumored pricing info yet?
