I would like a compact FX body, along the lines of the Sony A7C. I'd use it with the 28 and 40mm muffins, but I'd also welcome another lens or two in that lineup.

Tbh, I think that's coming. NikonRumors stated a Zr styled camera is coming...
I am ready to pull the credit card out for almost any new Nikon cam. And I love this style because when I am doing fun walk-around travel I’m almost always shooting from the back LCD with camera held over my head, so a big juicy screen would be sweet. But no IBIS is a deal killer for me.

I don't think they'd put a FF without IBIS. In fact, I don't think a single full frame Z camera comes without ibis. So thats hopeful

Well, Peter’s rumored specs on that link says No IBIS. I hope that is wrong.
I'd buy it without IBIS if the price is right and the focal length is either 28mm or 35mm. The X100V is just about the perfect form factor and no IBIS never held me back. Of course, APS-C without IBIS is a bit easier to control than FF, but still.
The Z7 IBIS was so terrible that it might as well not even had it

Yeah, but VV is only slightly wider than the current 2:3 36mm-wide sensors (up to about 41mm), so in the end it doesn't mean a whole lot for still cameras.
It's nowhere near being able to cover, say, miniMF, sure, but Raptor-X VV does have a diagonal of 46.31, which is enough of an increase to probably be very interesting for corner sharpness and vignetting performance on the 43.27 diagonal sensors.

Wrong. Physical dimensions of a sensor play absolutely no role in camera's susceptibility to shake. What matters is pixel pitch, lens FOV, and mass. An FF camera is likely to be heavier, and more stable as a result.

It can be argued that pixel pitch and mass matter, but mass matters more or less depending on how the sensor is mounted/suspended. IBIS mounting complicates vibrations, separate from the IBIS motion.

One of the worst all around sensors Sony has released and somehow made it into 13 cameras. I'm glad Nikon held out
Of course the 60MP sensor is not for all around use. It's a very high IQ sensor, the best in FF/FX for several years now.
Nikon has lost most of my business any many others due to their narrow focus on action for stills. They need to wake up and smell the coffee. Everyone is not about flying BIFs and sports. At least they are making some prgress in video, though I have no personal use for it.
It's ridiculous that Nikon has not secured other sensor suppliers after all these years being dependent on the Sony.

A smaller sensor has lower mass but given a fixed imaging field of view (i.e. larger sensor is coupled with a correspondingly longer focal length lens), the correction required in the sensor plane is smaller (in mm) with the smaller sensor than with a larger sensor, and in a camera whose size is largely dictated by the size of the human hand, there is likely more space to move it thus much higher amplitude shake can be corrected, at least in theory. Of course, if the smaller sensor has smaller photosites, then the movement precision has to be greater to keep the image sharp at the pixel level.

Out of interest, what realistic options do they have? As I understand it, everybody uses Sony apart from Canon, which makes its own sensors and will not sell them to others.
Brother man, what year do you think this is? Who do you think is making other sensors?

Not a sarcastic question. What is it you’d like Nikon to do? If you don’t shoot action or video, I suppose that leaves portraits, street, and landscapes. What is it you find Nikon lacking in those regards? In my view, Nikon has great options for all of them. Nikon could be fairly criticized for making its top-of-the-line lenses so heavy, but it has also released lighter alternatives.

Of course the Z9ii is coming, it's their flagship product. It will likely be one of the first bodies with Expeed 8 in it and a showcase for what is to come for the next 5 years among the lower-end bodies.
Every company is supply constrained on chips and memory right now, so my guess is that the Z9ii design and specs have been finalized for some time and they are working on scaling production before release. I expect a very iterative release and nothing groundbreaking, with some "catch ups" like RAW precapture and perhaps RAW 30fps that have been missing from the Z9. ...Show more →
And better autofocus to match Sony & Canon.. Please??
