Thought I would share this for those interested since a good many of us here own or owned DFs.
Within the interview about Nikon pursuing a FF Mirrorless, the first and larger part talks about the DF and future DF possibility. The translation is really rough, but I think I took away a few things.
The sensor in the current DF was deliberately chosen for its lower resolution to work better with older lenses and the D4 sensor happened to be the one available for it. Also, that if a future model were to come out, a lower resolution sensor say the D5 20MP sensor might be chosen over the D750 24MP. Again, this is my interpretation of a really spotty translation. If your takeaway is different, I would be interested in hearing about it.
Maybe a stretch but it seems the he might be saying that the D750 tech would be used this time, not the D610... could mean 51 point AF. Also lighter and thinner frame and or smaller size?
Also,, I think that it's clear from this Nikon doesn't feel it sold well and that if people want to see a new model, lol, they need to go buy up the rest of the existing cameras.
Be interested to see what others might get from translating it. The first part is a lot to do with his own DF mods, and interesting read in itself in that someone from within Nikon would admit modding theirs.
