Well if the new Nikon mirrorless out performs the Fuji XT2 then I will have some serious review of kit going on.
If the FF is successful then it will be easy for Nikon to make a DX version.
I don't see a DX sensor relevant for anything other than long reach photography...like wildlife. A DX mirrorless would only be of use if Nikon overcame all the previously mentioned impediments.
I could happily settle with the D500 and long lenses for bird photography and a mirrorless FF for everything else.
But would you want FF or DX and then how many MP?
Definitely full frame for mirrorless walkaround and 25mp would be enough.
The dilemma I have with bird photography persists..... is the D500 with its 1.5x multiplication factor, but inferior noise at high iso, the best choice? Or would a D850 with its superior noise handling and crop ability be better?
I am in no rush to change the D500 for a D850, in the absence of any clear winner on this count. But I would like a FF camera again.
IF the FF mirrorless Nikon impresses, I may add it as the FF option. But if the Nikon falls short, then I may swop the D500 for a D850.
I could always use the wife's FZ2000 as a walk around camera for both of us...I invariably end up carrying it anyway!!
My concern, as always, with large MP sensors, is the inevitble need for improved technique to maximise the quality. Not sure I would capitalise on it's potential us8ng it as a walkaround. It would need to be my more static use body.
I genuinely hope Nikon have raised the bar in the right directions, on the new mirrorless.
