Leaked pictures and video of the new Nikon mirrorless full frame camera

One point of interest is that someone could make an ND block/Fmount lens adapter, bringing 'the first' ? 'DSLR' with ND ?? Canon adapters would also be possible too.

I guess - (Id prefer three full stages)

The thing is being fullframe this would work well without a speedbooster that usually takes that slot between camera flange and lens flange.

(I don't know if this is possible with sony at the moment - I dont really follow the A7 genre as I believe them to be riddled with rolling shutter and impossible menus)

(this change a lot in the last couple of years; the a7 III a7R III, a99 II and RX100 V have a resonably fast rolling shutter, not as good as, say, a GH5s, but much better than older Sonys, and around the same as a GH4 or 5D3; link)

My dear - that table says it all about sony - so many models and options that I just walked away. (Yes I have EX1 and FS7)
 
XDDDD
(Maybe it has more Sony options because I made it and that's what I've been interested in for the past four years?)

Ultimately the nikon mount, and the apparent new one are not ideal for filming as they don't (appear) to positively lock the lens in the torsional axis.

That's a bummer, but also typical for stills cameras that are optimized around autofocus, probably because of the manufacturing costs. And the fact that most people who buy one of these cameras won't notice or care.

They are alive and well in the photography universe...just barely have any exciting video contribution (it would be none and not barely if the D850 wasn't released).

Alive, yes. Doing well? Maybe not so much:

In fiscal 2017, Nikon's net sales fell 8.6% year over year. Imaging Products Business, of which digital cameras are part, witnessed a steady decline in both sales and profits, as the top line shrunk 26.4% over fiscal 2016. As a result of Nikon's revenue decline, the company is undergoing a restructuring. Part of which included shutting down all sales operations in Brazil. Nikon also shut down Nikon Imaging China Co.

Far from doing well, Nikon is teetering on the edge of extinction.

If Nikon truly was not worried back in 2012, they should have been.

"Speaking at the launch of its new range, Jeremy Gilbert, Nikon's UK Marketing Manager said that the company wasn't threatened by smartphones."

February 03, 2012- Nikon: not worried about compact camera decline.

The information I provided was from the end of their financial year, March 2018.

Everything you provided was from Feb, 2017* (6 months before the D850 was announced). *One article was updated in November 2017.

All it takes is for one product to do very well - in this case the D850 - to help a company turn things around.

Alive and well is based on a current prognosis. I am alive and well but can be dead tomorrow. If you choose not to believe in Nikon, I can't change your mind.

And as far as the focus...they would have to be imbeciles to change the direction 70 years later.

The 45MP model will be around $4,000/€4,000 in a kit with the 24-70mm lens.
The 25MP model will be under $3,000/€3,000 (also with a lens).

thats kind of expansive compare to a7III and a7rIII (specs looks the same?)

Using all that low flange depth big diameter real estate the announce a 24-70 f4

A whole stop worse than their current model- pathetic

I'm tired of hearing the same excuse that's been thrown around for the last few years, that we don't "need" fast lenses anymore, because digital cameras can shoot cleanly at (extremely) high ISO's, now. I don't care if the camera can shoot up into the seven figure ISO range, I want fast glass. Aperture selection isn't just for exposure.

Nikon's stubbornness regarding the focus rotation direction of their lenses is just stupid.

One of my guys bought a little Sony mirrorless and kit lens to take with him on vacation to Europe this summer. He brought it on a multi-day shoot we had last month and I played around with it between guests. The zoom rotation was backwards. I told him and he looked at me like I was crazy. I took it over to one of our broadcast lenses and showed him. I guess all the years of shooting Nikon, he just tuned it out and didn't notice. Even though he's had one of my 5D's and 24-105 for probably a year, now.
