Don't understand?
Anyone who buys this camera WILL be an early adopter, unless they are buying it from old stock, 12 months hence...
That should read "this is not a camera with which to be an early adopter" buying one of the first batch is a gamble, later buyers will benefit from firmware updates out of the box. I would let someone else be the guinea pig.
Ah! I think I said that in my first post (or second!).
Not just the firmware, the hardware too. Totally new mount is bound to have some room for refinement.
It's easy to get carried away by the hype. That said, I still think these cameras will be outstanding. Nikon have made an massive investment, they are committed to making the highest quality product they can produce. Even if it's 'no better' than the D850, that's still a great achievement.
The opposition ie. Sony and Fuji, are several iterations down the track. The paying customer has funded the development, as is to be expected.
The AF will take some sorting because it's a physics thing, trying to do the impossible. Even with todays technology the impossible takes a little longer! LOL
