Technically I think this is possible but it requires continuous readout from the sensor to the EVF, even while saving the image.

I can not imagine the Big D`s getting phased out.
The 1 series has been discontinued, they are very capable but, the sensor is too small, they mostly lack a viewfinder and the F mount adaptor has a poor reputation. The 1 V3 has an optional viewfinder the 1 J series don't.

I have a V1 with 10-30 and 30-100 lens. It is great but only if the light is bright as IMHO the sensor size is too small (as GeoffR says). Above ISO it is very noisy!

Yes, that is confirmed now.
I have my name on the list with NPS number for getting one out the first batch at FixationUK in London.
Delivery will be Sept/Oct.

3 or 4 new Z lenses, plus adapter for F flange lenses. Adapter will work with AFS lenses but not earlier AFD.

Will this be a case of the early bird getting the worm or the snags?

And many others, including myself, although I think we should get one for Eric, I think he will be more sceptical than JK, who seems sold on the mirrorless thing already. o.O

This is Nikons second attempt at a mirrorless, I guess V1 was a dry run.

There is no doubt Nikon are throwing huge R&D resources into their latest offerings, rather than just developing and improving what went before.

The huge leap in quality and performance of the D850 bears that out. If they can get the other stuff right it will be a game changer. I do hope so.

Robert, the Nikon mirrorless was the Nikon 1 system.

The V1, V2 and V3 were just different flavours of Nikon 1. There were also Nikon 1 J1, J2, J3, J4 and J5 cameras plus a number of Nikon 1 AW bodies all with the 1 Mount. On the box for my 30 to 110 lens it says 1 Nikkor, on the camera body it says Nikon 1 J5.

I know this sounds pedantic but if Nikon call it the 1 system, who are we to argue.

Robert, Nikon call their recently discontinued mirrorless camera system the Nikon 1.
The V1, together with the V2 and V3 are merely flavours of Nikon 1 as are the J1, J2, J3, J4 and J5. The box for my 10-110 lens has the designation 1 Nikkor emblazoned upon it.

I know this seems pedantic but if Nikon call it the 1 system who are we to argue Nikon 1
