Interesting. Left DX years ago because of the D700. Not sure I would go back unless this is the right camera for me. Would also be interested if the body is more like the D300 instead of the D7xxx and if some of the controls were easy to find like a D300, D700, D800, etc. or part of small toggles like the D750, D7xxx, etc. Those are the reasons I have yet to pull the trigger on the D750. We'll see.

Based on the D600 and D800, that is a smart move I think.
Yeah, I am just waiting to see what these new bodies will do to the already erratic used market. D3x prices may tank? D7200 should drop, D7100 and D7000 have probably hit their terminally low point for the time being. D300/s have already been trending pretty low as well.
Also, I look for a mid-year FX announcement, either an update for the D810 or D750 or both.

A DX sensor is better for long-focal-length needs due to the narrower FOV, and better for macro due to the greater DOF. A DX camera with a fast frame rate and a deep buffer is a godsend for aviation, for example, since my 200-400 lens becomes a 300-600 f/4 and my 500+1.4x becomes a 1050mm f/5.6 optic... without an increase in weight.
79 shot buffer at 10FPS, 153 AF points...same module as D5.
Magnesium alloy and Carbon Fibre framework
$1999 in March
ISO native 100-51200 expanded to 1,640,000
20.9MPs
180K RBG metering...same as D5
I knew it was coming! Haha. I predicted it would be alongside the D5 as well, but to be fair I thought we'd see both in September. Not bad though.
Nikon has returned to what they did in 2007 that worked so well.
Now, if they can make a 40-50MP D810 successor AND a faster version with the 20MP D5 sensor, they will have a perfect professional FF lineup. They seem to be on that track.
Quite the spec sheet it has, they are going to sell a boatload of these.
