Deliberately leaving off things like micro-adjust, pc sync and af-on buttons to differentiate it from the D800 smacks of Canon\'s ridiculous deliberate crippling policies of 3 or 4 years ago though, stupid and pointless move by Nikon IMHO
There\'s the kiss of death right there - no micro adjust. Nikon\'s quality control is totally non-existent these days, so users will be forced to repeatedly send their gear to Nikon - at their own cost and for a considerable amount of time - to try to get their lenses to focus properly on this camera.
Hmm... maybe Nikon sees this as a revenue stream to supplement the cost of the camera, since they will deny there is a problem with the equipment and charge customers a boatload of money to fix the defect...
I\'m not sure where the lack of MA idea came from but according to the Nikon site it has MA.
if it has MA then it looks a lot better
other than the AF likely being at least a bit worse it seems awfully close to the 5D3 and actually better for the image quality, most likely, and probably for video quality too for a lottt less, for the video and landscape and general shooter it might be a better cam for less, for the person who really pushes AF, whether it holds up though remains to be seen, it might not
