Apparently this rumoured camera will be a Nikon DF.
DF = ? Digital Film ?
Whats that mean????
DF actually stands for Digital Fusion... apparently. Whatever that is.
Dont know but at a guess I think that the camera will be a Nikon FA with a digital equivalent insert and a TFT on the back that allows use of MF or AF lenses.
The bit I dont understand is that to allow for good manual focus you need to have a split image or fresnel or microprism screen but really focussing could be by EVF or eye. Which then begs the question what happens to the pentaprism and mirror ? Removed I guess.
If that is the case then we have a 'game changer' or paradigm shift camera.
The next D5 (FX) and D500 (DX) will be without a pentaprism and mirror.
Interesting times ahead.
