Looks ok, like a DSLR, good grip, which a lot of mirrorless lack. https://petapixel.com/2018/08/06/nik...leaked-photos/ I find it difficult to raise much enthusiasm, to be honest. I've sold almost all my Nikon kit, and being full-frame it's going to be almost as bulky and heavy with its lenses as a mirrored DSLR. For my hands, the grip on my Panasonic GX7 is good enough. It will be good for those with a substantial lens investment, although short-focus and wide-angle lenses may require a new purchase for optimum use of the mirrorless body - e.g pancake - and silent operation will be welcome (if it's offered). -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

For my hands, the grip on my Panasonic GX7 is good enough. The Sony A7 bodies have with each new generation become bigger and heavier, which is not surprising because the lenses are big and heavy and to properly hold the cameras the bodies need to have a minimum size. -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at https://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ https://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

The new lenses are going to be optimized for the larger mount, and the MILC flange distance, and are not likely to be budget lenses. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I hedged my bet. i am up on the waiting list, with the understanding that if I don't like it, there will not be any issue. I figure that by then the price of the D850 will drop, so it's win, win. -- PeterN |

I wonder if Nikon took a page from the m4/3 book and designed a lens mount that would allow the design of lenses that eliminate the corner softness issue? |

The demand for this will be insane, there will be NO problem filling anyone's position who drops out. In-fact, if camera dealers were car dealerships, they'd be selling the first ones for well-above list. I've got to believe working pros will want to see how it performs first. Why take a chance on such a radical change? how will it deal with their legacy glass? And other items, like flashes? |

I haven't looked at enough Sony FF images to tell if they've done it, let alone Nikon. Sony's lenses (performance) have been all over the map. Sony lenses, well most of them, appear to have corner issues. Nikon's mount appears to be bigger than necessry, like m4/3. I have no interest in buying this camera, I'm just curious. |
