new nikon P5100

new nikon P5100 was announced very recently. see the dpreview.com article for more details.
replaces the P5000 and the body looks very similar. the dimensions are identical so it might be the case that the fantasea FP5000 housing will work with the P5100 as well.
dpreview mentions the following differences with the previous model P5000 (only the interesting ones are listed below):

Key differences from P5000

  • 12.1 MP
  • EXPEED: Nikon's innovative digital image processing concept
  • Continuous flash upto 3 frames @ 1.0 fps (new feature)
  • Cosmetic upgrade (mainly button and ring)
  • Improved Graphical User Interface
the continuous flash feature sounds very very interesting for underwater photography.
