The sensor is a major disadvantage over the D600, in my opinion.

As looks go, she's a beauty.

Now get me specs and price. That's what makes the difference to me.

The ISO dial showing native 12800 and H1-H4(204800) seems to further confirm this will have the D4 sensor. wOOt!

If it's basically a D600 with retro looks, the price had best be close to the D600 or this thing will flop.

I'm waiting to the announcement before I believe any of the rumored specs ... but it's looking less and less like this is the FX body I was hoping for.

Well that's exactly the thing we don't know - how the manual focussing works. Just a dot and I'm out but I feel there will be more. Wasn't there talk of a hybrid camera - maybe this mean AF and MF? But how? I guess we'll see tomorrow.


You're exactly right Ian, there was talk of a hybrid viewfinder. Time will tell.

I agree somewhat Andre, but if it's geared internally for a better MF performance, then I for one will be excited. But I'm STILL not sure I can take a step back in resolution.

Does anyone know if that's the BKT button on the front above the lens release button?

Interesting. I do like the looks of the one in silver.

Of course, we haven't seen the full specs and especially the price. While the looks are cool, I think I'd go for a D7100 first, and I'm not even thinking seriously about that.

In one of the teaser videos it looked like BKT.

Like: SO MANY BUTTONS TO PLAY WITH!!!
Dislike: Most likely the price (it it's $2K or above)

If (and this is the big if for me), if it has the D4 sensor, a la D3/D700, and it's under $2500, I'll snag one. That sensor is perfect for a walk-round body - superb low-light ability and excellent sharpness for it's resolution. Like I said, perfect for walk-around duty. What it's not is a D800E replacement, or even a D610 replacement. And I'm good with that.

Peace,

Todd

Where is the SD card door? It's not like the full bodies where the back grip flips open and I don't see the push out on the side for the SD card.

Does that mean it's at the bottom? Near the battery compartment ala Nikon 1 V2?

Also I don't understand why the pro-sumers get U1/U2 and the professional cameras don't.

I am glad they left off scene mode but still U1/U2 made using my D7000 when I had it a breeze.

My main concern is the grip - looks a bit shallow so holding it might not be that comfortable for those with larger hands. Might hand to compensate that with a 3rd party grip, like what's available for the Fuji X cameras.

Other than that, this is tempting me to sell my D600 + D7000 to get this.

Will have to wait and see but I'm hopeful so far

I think it's odd they don't have the viewfinder lever.

I'm curious to see how to handles with nikon's 2.8 zooms. Is it going to be ridiculous with a 24-70 or 14-24? I wish they had a nice set of SMALL high quality primes.

I kinda wish it gets the D600 sensor. D800 sensor - overkill. D4 sensor - too expensive. 24MP is just perfect, and puts it on the affordable side.

Probably on the bottom and probably only one slot.
