Well I have had little interest in mirrorless, my interest now is academic rather than there being any prospect of my obtaining one.

I don't see Fuji being irrelevant... Both JK and Eric abandoned Nikon DSLRs in favour of Fuji? Sensor size is irrelevant, the final image is the only thing which matters. No matter what camera it comes from.

I hope many people buy into mirrorless so the price of recent DSLRs comes down and allows me to inch further along the path to a really good recent camera.

My D3 is wonderful most of the time but has some limitations. The resolution is wanting for stars, the banding on repeated 30 second exposures is troublesome and the dynamic range is limited compared with say the D810.

A minor irritation to major obstacle, depending on the day... The D3 won't fit on my PB4 bellows without a PK extension tube. Which prevents me from using it for digitising my old slides and negatives. A D810 would fit perfectly.

So, please Nikon, sell lots of the new Z cameras to depress the D810 prices even further than the D850 has. :devil:
