Built in Wi-Fi and an additional function button but otherwise very familiar to D4 and D5 users, I'd probably need a mortgage to buy one.

Yes a mint D3X would be a winner.

Good tool for the pro's but you need to be making good money to justify the cost of buying one.

Or have somebody else paying for it!

I see the premium for a D6 over a D5 is around £1,000. For the price of a D6 I could happily buy four D500s and I think that is exactly what I would buy if I could afford a D6, well two of them anyway.

As far as I am concerned the cost of the D6 is well beyond justification for n amateur.

I would like a D5 but they are still nearly £4,000 used, I paid less for three bodies (D3, 2 x D4) and I don't see any upgrades any time soon.

Since the D3S the single digit D series have provided me with little interest.  I know that they are meant to be solid and dependable but there has been little innovation.  The D850 is IMHO a much better camera that any other D camera closely followed by the D500 and D750/D780.

To a large extent I think Nikon have lost the plot.
The Z series cameras are interesting and great to use but not outstanding.

The extra 4MP of the D4 is a worthwhile upgrade but the stretch to the D5 doesn't make any sense to me, the D6 appears to add more video capabilities, in which I have no interest.

The D500 is looking more attractive by the day but I'll stick with the D4 bodies for now. In a few years time things may be different. Obviously if the D500 comes down in price, used that is, to something I can afford I might go that way.

I see the D6 in much the same way as the F6, a last gasp on the way to a new range. I think a professional level mirrorless must be waiting in the wings. Built in grip, bigger battery (think EN-EL4 or 18 size) multiple card slots etc.

I started using Nikon pro bodies with the F4, I suspect the D4 may be the last of them for me. Yes I agree Nikon have lost their way.

If the D500 was 25MP or 30MP it would be a real winner.  However they would need to improve the noise and dynamic range as well to really satisfy me.

Currently the D850 has in excess of 10-11stops of range (some people report 11.5, 12, 13.5 stops but I dont find this in real life use) and that is just fine as I can work with that.
Would be interested if Eric or Graham could check and confirm this for me.

Surely it depends on the lens being used? An inherently low contrast lens will enable a wider discernible dynamic range. Conversely a contrasty lens will clip the range.
