I am sure that there will be a Z camera that is DX or some other designation e.g. T series.

The current Nikon range is just crying out for a 24MP mirrorless APS-C camera with the F mount rather than the S mount found on the Z series camera.  If Nikon do this then the AFS F mount glass will become very valuable.  Nikon will get a lot of sales for such a camera.


I think you are right with that JK

As I mentioned before about the possibility of a Nikon Z series APS-C camera there is now a rumour.

It is interesting that since the days of roll film cameras the body shape has remained basically a rectangular box on the end of a cylindrical lens - with an EVF I guess you could have a pistol shaped body?

They seem to have increased the grip to make it easier to hold at arms length. Because without a viewfinder that's what we would have to do. 

A camera without a viewfinder, be that optical or electronic, is a non starter for me.

Perhaps this link might provide some impartial info and feedback?

For those reluctant to hit a link with no obvious description, it's A Nikon Mirrorless Safari, with two Z bodies, by Thom Hogan

Interesting read of Thom's safari.   Seems like he is happy as I am.  
I just wish there was an APS-C mirrorless with Nikon F mount.

I have only found a couple of wrinkles with mirrorless.
1.  Need to use the D8 (LiveView preview) switch on/off when I move between using flash and normal light.
2.  Strong backlighting makes for silhouettes in EVF as it is influenced by the strong backlighting.
3.  XQD cards are fine but I dont shoot video or big still sequences so I dont need crazy fast cards.  I would like an adapter that allows me to use SD card in an adapter in the XQD slot.  I am sure some clever Chinese company will make one in the next year or so!
