Not for me.

Like the dials and knobs instead of menus.
Dont like the price but that will only drop.
No electronic remote shutter release (As far as I can tell).
No split image viewfinder screen so I can use my old MF lenses properly.


Otherwise it is a Nikon so that is OK.

Agree on the price but I think that was to be expected with a body sporting a D4 sensor.

There is a remote but I think it's the USB one from the D3100.

There are several detail touches I like, the ability to trigger multiple exposures from the self timer, presumably to enable hands free bracketing, also the ability to set the interval between the exposures.

It's very close to my ideal camera. Pity it will be at least five years before I can afford one!!! Perhaps I will win the lotto? Mmmm, to win it first you have to be in it!!!

Some observations from the press releases and brochures:
 -single SD slot (for space saving) -D4 like sensor, but a slower/cheaper shutter at 1/4000.
-only rechargable batteries or mains (no battery option like the D800)
-focusing screen: 100% not replacable, switchable grid, no optical focusing aids.
 -first chrome SLR camera in a long time, I wonder if it is painted plastic or real metal. -remote options: Wireless, MC-DC-2 style or tapered-screw-in remote (not AR-2 like the F and F2 etc.).
 -most old style (pre 1977) lenses can be used thanks to pop-up Ai coupling, like the F3 end F4 had. (sorry for F3AF and IX lens-owners).
Regards, Gilbert

Havent spotted the reference to the remote. I'll have a look at the brochure again.



May your numbers be lucky ones :applause:

It's going to be hard to resist buying one once I see it on my dealers shelf;~)

OK found the remote reference MC-DC20 which is the same one as is on the D7x00/D5x00/D90 units.

How embarrassing for Nikon.

This is kind of like your goofy old uncle taking the kids outside to tell them about this new wild and crazy technology called....EMAIL

While the kids mock him with a Vine vid...

I'll be interested to see if this sells.
