When I ceremoniously abandoned DX, I thought it was permanent. I recently picked up a pre-owned Canon 1D Mark IV (APS-H chip, which is smaller than FX, but larger than DX) for birding/wildlife and occasional sports use. It ignited in me an appreciation for the cropped frame clinging to a long focal length lens. I have also enjoyed the rapid fire 10 fps, and I like how it is smaller than a gripped fx body.
Meanwhile, Nikon has spoiled me with the adjustable rear LCD screen on my D750, as well as the built-in wifi, which comes in handy when I\'m traveling and I need to upload photos via an LTE equipped iPad. The D750 high ISO performance, dynamic range, and fast focus have made this my go-to camera for most situations.
So if were to produce a DSLR that merged the best features of the 1D Mark IV with the best features of the D750, it would resemble the D500: smaller than FX, 10 FPS, high ISO performance, adjustable rear screen, fast focus, and wifi (plus bluetooth), and superb dynamic range.
Too bad all my long f.l. glass is Canon mount.
