Since the D3S the single digit D series have provided me with little interest. I know that they are meant to be solid and dependable but there has been little innovation. The D850 is IMHO a much better camera that any other D camera closely followed by the D500 and D750/D780.
To a large extent I think Nikon have lost the plot.
The Z series cameras are interesting and great to use but not outstanding.
The extra 4MP of the D4 is a worthwhile upgrade but the stretch to the D5 doesn't make any sense to me, the D6 appears to add more video capabilities, in which I have no interest.
The D500 is looking more attractive by the day but I'll stick with the D4 bodies for now. In a few years time things may be different. Obviously if the D500 comes down in price, used that is, to something I can afford I might go that way.
I see the D6 in much the same way as the F6, a last gasp on the way to a new range. I think a professional level mirrorless must be waiting in the wings. Built in grip, bigger battery (think EN-EL4 or 18 size) multiple card slots etc.
I started using Nikon pro bodies with the F4, I suspect the D4 may be the last of them for me. Yes I agree Nikon have lost their way.
