magnesium alloy body same material used in D850 / D5. Same level of strength and durability, as well as dust- and drip- resistance, as the Nikon D850.

@IronFilm that's 10-15mn movie recording battery life.. internal movie recording limit is 30mn. presentation mentioned a battery grip for longer movie recording..

Touch Focus, Face recognition & tracking, 8K Timelapse, 10-bit / N-log via HDMI, View assist, Timecode..

AF details emerging: The hybrid AF system covers about 90% of the imaging area

yeah well i'm glad they went the top lcd route but have got other bigger issues like the absence of a AF mode selector, guess they can't please everyone.. i'm also starting to get shaky feels about video specs.. ?

Personal preference i guess but when shooting photography especially i absolutely hate having to tilt the lcd or raise cameras evf to do basic settings like set aperture, shutter speed, iso or WB. especially true on cameras with no dedicated controls for those functions, it becomes goofy. especially in dark event situations where a big bright back LCD would disturb the audience/performers etc.. i also like having the EVF clear of a gazillion overlapping text info cluttering up and distracting my composition..

Shouldn't carry the premium pricetag of either Hassy or Leica and hopefully won't just be a rebranded Sony RX but actual technical upgrade. Contax Zeiss are still some of my favorite film camera/lens combos of all time.

Again you must be confused as the only info given on NR are the number of AF points. That doesn't give you the coverage % or the way it handles for video if Nikon by any chance have developed stuff like Eye autofocus or Dual Pixel AF. So no we don't know "all about it".. Also the Z6 isn't that crippled. It's better at lowlight with higher ISO performance and higher FPS than Z7. And this at a much lower price. @mercer Fully agreed on the top LCD, it's a must have feature for me, especially on cameras with no dedicated aperture, wb, shutter speed & iso controls.. hate having to gauge settings from back lcd or EVF.

@wolf33d hold your horses, at this point we know nothing yet of the video AF. as a comparison, Canon 1DX2/5D4 only have 61 points of AF but have the amazing Dual Pixel AF covering 80-100% in live view/video mode.

fully agreed but all this leads me to think these omissions are intentional as to not canibalize D850/DSLR sales.. different targets for sure..

It’s shaping up to be a mirrorless D850. As long as IBIS & AF for video are on point..

Looks like the mirrorless FF war just got a new contestant.. – Announcement before Photokina – This is a fixed lens Full Frame camera – It uses Sony tech (probably RX1II based). – Price around $3,000 – Probably has a prime lens (35mm f/2.0?) – Slightly bigger lens construction than you get on the Sony RX1 series. – lens is autofocus https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/sr5-first-image-of-the-new-zeiss-full-frame-camera/

No AF mode switch is of bigger concern to me.. hopefully the front FN buttons can act as AF-S/AF-C toggles.

that LCD bezel...

Also if AF is important, I find the even basic implementation of Canon's Dual Pixel on the C100s more reliable than the video AF from any current competing camera brand..

@Simon Young I agree there are certain amount of little quirks Fuji need to address however i've never experienced "moiré in 4K"? in pixel binned 1080p & slo-mo however yes..

Pull the trigger today mate.. but don't come crying in a month or so.. I know a lot of recent D850 owners with buyers remorse right now

Agreed with the above. With +4 hours of battery life, unlimited record time, dual SD slots, ND filters, internal stereo shotgun mic (and XLRs if needed), Dual Pixel AF, a 4K downscaled to 1080p sensor, uncompressed 4:2:2 recording via HDMI, top handle and pivotable side grip ergonomics allowing steady shots without IBIS, Super35 sensor from the C300, peaking/zebras/waveform assist.. and it's current price tag, the camera still easily surpasses most current cameras in quite few departments..

agreed and let's not forget internal DCI 4K/2K which neither FS5 or A7 series allow neither. now if Fuji manage to eliminate the 4k crop this could be a very serious alternative to Super35 cine cams imo. in any case a solid B cam indeed.

@Danko announcement is in 1 day 19 hours... but best believe this is only the start of their marketing campaign.. Notice the coming soon slot after "Photographers": https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/mirrorless-is-coming.page Btw, there is no official mention of anything specific on the stills side either (AF, megapixels, DR etc).. just generic stuff like "more pictures you take the greater it is" "shooting becomes addictive" "when you zoom in you're still super sharp" lol..

Well most current cine cams if you consider APS-C = Super35

My C100 mk1 (w/ Dual Pixel AF) is by far my best camera investment ever, and still goes strong in 2018 imo. so much so that i cancelled my C200 order at last minute. As much as I want the C200 i know it's going to sit on my shelf collect dust 95% time. I'll just rent one when need comes. C100 is already max size for most of my run & gun needs. Hell i hardly bring my DSLRs out aside for day long events. MILCs really got us spoiled!

Your money, your call pal.. but Canon aren't going to let Nikon steal all the thunder in the upcoming mirrorless wars presenting themselves in a month at Photokina and a mirrorless 5D4 could signify less 4K crop, less rolling shutter, 120Fps 1080p, zebras/peaking, IBIS etc in a lighter form factor which would be substantially more interesting for video. Of course mount, lens options is the biggest unknown at this point..

XT3 pricing may be the best part as it's rumoured to be under XT2 retail (at launch) due to manufacturing now shifted to China (meh). This would make it by far the cheapest 10-bit 4K60p APS-C camera system right?
