Canon have the same problem. there isn't any problem. better to cannibalize one's own products than end up with a competitor doing it. True, but I don't know if I'd necessarily classify it as "cannibalizing" their own products. Some users may want to move from their Nikon DSLR system to a mirrorless system rather than upgrade to a new Nikon DSLR. If Nikon offered a good mirrorless system, they kept that user in their camp rather than losing him/her to another brand. |

For me, no way! It needs to be its own mount and an inbuilt adapter for AI,G and E series lenses. Anything less and they won't sell a single camera to existing Nikon users! What do you mean? A new mount with a "built in" f-mount? How is it built in? The only reason to ditch the f-mount is to get a short flange distance for a smaller camera. And that's an ok reason, if it comes with a fully functional adapter for f-mount I suppose. I said, very clearly and above: "its own mount and an inbuilt adapter". As in: don't force me to buy one! How can you transform that into "a new mount with a built in f-mount is beyond me. Are you sure English is your primary language? |

No "transofmration" required. I clearly asked what you meant, and the part you quoted here was clearly followed by a question mark, to signify that I was asking you whether or not this was what you meant. Are you sure English is your primary language? It isn't, actually, but that doesn't seem to be the problem here though. You have still not answered the question what a "inbuilt adapter" is. -- Sandman |

Are you sure English is your primary language? I would give Sandman one up on you with this one. The normal meaning of inbuilt is that a function is integrated in a larger structu https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/inbuilt -- teleportation kills |
