Instead of sticking a FF sensor in a mediocre body that sheds dirt,
the D600 could have been a ground-breaking. Moreso than the grossly
overpriced Sony RX1. A flat format, with an included adapter to use
current DSLR lenses and its own lens line in the pipeline.

Better still the D800E sensor, which won't cost more to make (than the
D600 sensor) in a mirrorless body where the slow burst frame rate is
hardly going to be an issue, because everything else will be slow too,
especially auto-focus.
Yeah - they won't do it if it cannibalises D6/800 sales, which it will.
Nikon also has the issue that with different flange distance, it might
be a good time to revise the F-mount system, but need to do that
maintaining some backward compatibility, but also with a good eye to the
future.
