Well it is here with a projected arrival date of next month! I think the wait may be a little longer but I can wait for it.
This camera is ever so slightly larger than a D700.

Does this mean you are now swaying back to Nikon and deserting Fuji?

No, it is horses for courses.

I dont intend to buy any more Nikon gear (lenses or cameras) breakdown replacements aside.
On the Fuji front I may get another XT2 body, 80mm f2.8 macro and possibly 10-24mm.

In reality I am done I need to use my freedom and free time to go shoot more pictures in different places.

I think I could be very interested in one of these! Any one like a D810 body and an MB12 Nikon Power Grip for it? All in good condition and low mileage?

OH Jonathan!!!

Just been playing with the D850 at WEX. Goes on sale next month.

AWESOME!

It's got the same deep grip that I loved on the D750.....with 95% of the D5.

The Nikon representative was a lovely lady from Spain. I did suggest she take it back with her and drop it off at your place.:lol:

Incidentally it doesn't crop the sensor to get 45/24/12mp, although it still has that feature...it switches off pixels?o.O I would have thought that left gaps in the full frame image. ;-)

Have to say had I not been buying a new camera for the wife I might have been tempted to place an order there and then.

The Fuji system has one more season to prove itself. If it fails to deliver in the way I want, the Nikon 850 is for me. Although heavier than Fuji, the grip makes it feel a lot better. Admittedly you will have heavy glass to add but it's so good ....I would rather go to the gym.

I didn't have a lot of time to play with it but the feeling was reminiscent of the first time I handled the D3 after the D2X. A breath of fresh air! I suspect it will sell well even at £3500 ish.

While I haven't got £3500 at the moment I think I am destined to own a D850, it looks such a good all round camera.

I reckon if I sell all my Fuji gear I could do a straight swop. But I am not rushing into this one, despite the attraction. Having sold all my Nikon lenses to fund the Fuji, I would need to buy some select lenses as well. I owe it to Fuji to convince me it's good enough.

But I have to say THAT DSLR just feels 'right' in the hand.:needsahug:
