I suspect that in not too many years, press photographers will ALL just shoot video. After all, it's only one step beyond motor drives. ;-)

Sony currently have the best execution of videoing with a still camera. Not surprising given their history. The camera however doesn't feel as nice in the hand as a Nikon and some of its menus access badly.

I am not sure Nikon can pull another D3 out their hat. That was a matter of trumping the competitions best efforts. Now it's about completely changing direction for a new photography landscape. Going mirrorless was just another 'me too'....and badly flawed by the obstacle to using current glass.

Not sure I would like to be trying to steer Nikon (nor Marks and Spencer's 😆) through the new retail and commercial world. But it must help if your crystal ball is well polished. 


I liken camera development to gift wrapping an octopus. Every time you think you got it right ...you find a tentacle has been left out. :lol:
