I'm not sure what they think the big deal is with a D400/Canon equivalent. It's just an upgrade on the D300s not the flagship Nikon camera!! *rolls eyes*

There is a 20MP Canon called a 70D and a 24MP Nikon called a D7100 or D5300. What we are asking for in the D400 is a higher quality of build but in reality is the D7100 or 70D good enough. Certainly compared to a D1X or D2X these cameras cost 1/2 the price and are streets better! Are we being 'greedy' ?

Hmm the lenses being shown on this new camera are all/almost all MF lenses. No problem for me. But that implies a non-AF camera which again wouldnt worry me overly. But then again the latest image shows the 50mm f1.8 AFS. If it is FM sized and digital with a good split image focusing screen then it would be interesting. I got a split image screen for my D3 but it made the viewfinder very dim compared to the standard screen. Do I need another camera? No.

If it has 16MP then what will it do to sales of the D610 that has 24MP. 16MP to 24MP is very similar but 24MP gives you a little more crop space!.

Seeing the size comparison this camera really is Nikon FA like. It has the same angularity but looking at the video it has all the features of the current digital camera except there is no flash and to date I have not seen the LCD on the back. Fuji has shown how slim a EVF camera can be in DX size but this new Nikon is FX so it is larger by definition. The size comparison with the Sony A7 (also FX) shows a smaller size in the Sony. The Sony A7 is EVF so that is really the indicator that the Nikon is probably more conventional but with a mirror. However they might just be delivering the same package as the A7 but in a retro body. The sound of the mirror might just be a digitised shutter sound! I think the Nikon DF will hurt Sony A7 sales as it shows up with a huge range of lenses it can use whilst the Sony is struggling with their poor lens range. If the Nikon DF is a success then it is easy to just up the megapixels from 16 to 24 or 36 or whatever. November 5th is the information release date. Some fireworks display!.

Well the info is out. For me I like idea of dials rather than LCD menus but the cost of the camera is too high and there is no split image viewfinder screen to allow better use of my old MF lenses.

It costs a lot more to make a camera with dials than menus. A lot of serious commenters about the camera were disappointed that it didn't have a split image viewfinder option. Wonder if it will be possible to have an after market one installed or if it would interfere with the auto focus.
