You are probably correct.
I think that Nikon have too many current modeks there should be no more than 6 or 7 models. Maybe 4 FX and 3 DX.

I agree JK but I would have put it the other way round, 4 DX and 3 FX.

DX: An entry level such as the D3xxx, a step up with better features the D5xxx, a serious amateur the D7xxx and a lightweight pro model, the D400.

FX: A lightweight entry level D6xx, a more advanced D8xx and the pro D4. Whether there needs be a D4X with higher resolution is perhaps a moot point? Speed v resolution...

Then there is that 'retro' FX model which I can't remember the name of, probably worth keeping that for the purists among us...:devil:

Which would mean 4 DX and 5 FX. As for the 'E' versions I don't see why Nikon can't reach a compromise between moire and sharpness and go with that Anybody wanting the ultimate sharpness having to go with the D4X. Chances are, if they have the funds to buy the top lenses needed for ultimate sharpness then the extra for the top body isn't going to be an issue.

Seems to me Nikon are spreading the butter too thinly, maximising their production costs and complicating their distribution and support infrastructure. Henry Ford had it right,
"Any color you like so long as it's black!".

Yes I agree that presents a more balanced camera range.
4 DX and 3 FX.
