And many others, including myself, although I think we should get one for Eric, I think he will be more sceptical than JK, who seems sold on the mirrorless thing already.
This is Nikons second attempt at a mirrorless, I guess V1 was a dry run.
There is no doubt Nikon are throwing huge R&D resources into their latest offerings, rather than just developing and improving what went before.
The huge leap in quality and performance of the D850 bears that out. If they can get the other stuff right it will be a game changer. I do hope so.
I don't think I am anymore REALISTIC about mirrorless issues than Jonathan. I would happily buy one if it improved on the performance and feel of the Fuji....for no other reason that it would be capable of using my other Nikon lenses. Some of my negatives on the Fuji were really down to using it for the wrong situations....I know that now.I would happily dedicate the D500 and long lenses to birding ....and use a mirrorless Nikon for walk around. BUT.......
It would have to be as good if not better than the wife's LUMIX FZ2000.
I am almost thinking I could carry her camera for her...and let her use it periodically.
