One of my critiques of mirrorless is the wholesale abandonment of the ergonomic camera body design, which has evolved over years and is now so familiar in the hand. Struggling with crude shaped bodies is an additional unwanted distraction ...when you are already getting to grips with mirrorless cameras other shortcomings.  I would be more interested in a Nikon mirrorless if it felt like a D750 in the hand.

Yet again diminishing the lightweight advantage of mirrorless to some degree. For mirrorless to work for me I need a camera body that's familiar in the hand; a viewfinder that doesn't freeze while saving the image to card; a battery that copes with sensor drain and still delivers 300+ shots. Beyond that the question I have is ...."who really gains by getting rid of the mirror?" If when using it for anything more than casual walkabout photography you have heavy lenses, there's no weight advantage. Even if you don't use them, the lenses are still in your bag...just in case. All the lenses need to be mega light too! The only real advantage I have seen using the Fuji mirrorless is the ability to see the actual exposure compensation live in the viewfinder. Take the guesswork out of adjusting for backlight. The Fuji lenses are very good quality though.

While the FM, FE etc. were very good cameras in their day, cameras such as the D750 are joy to use. I would expect the electronics could be compressed into almost no space, a couple of chips? The motor for the mirror and focal plane shutter, together with the mechanisms and associated parts must be very expensive to make and develop. Savings in these departments should give the manufacturers some leeway to encourage them to develop a really good modern camera without a mirror or pentaprism.

I do not understand the point of Nikon adding a third camera system , if I need a new camera than it has to have the " F " mount , when a smaller camera is called for than I borrow the missus J1 which is an Exellent camera...or will Nikon phase out the "V" series ? I can not imagine the Big D`s getting phased out.
