I know they won't listen, but...

PLEASE: A GAMMA MODE THAT PRESERVES THE WHOLE DR OF THE SENSOR IN VIDEO MODE
 
A firmware update would allow Nikonhackers to start working on a hack. It's a shame that Nikon didn't get the hacking community backing that Canon got with magiclantern. With that said, I guess CHDK has been hacking Canons for like a decade or more, so magiclantern kinda had a head start.
 
Time code is a huge huge addition and I think a first in any Dslr and mirrorless camera. It is a very good sign for Nikon to showcase that they are commited to professional video in their DSLR line of cameras. Anyone who does multiple camera shoot for interviews and wedding for example will know how hard and annoying to sinc audio to multi camera shoot. It is a feature found only in professional cameras. The start stop with external recorder is also a very very nice feature, but what about peaking. I mean this would be the most important thing that is missing from a usability side of Nikon slr, more so when you are talking full frame camera. I hope that people at nab point it out to them.

I think we might get it from the next iteration of Nikon D5/D900 in one year. But I would really like to see already some test of the flat profile in the D810/D750 etc.. I saw this example http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikon-d5500/5 where you see a sunset with stadard and flat profile and it seems quite impressive. They also used active d lighting , but I don't know if it works on video.

From the tests I've seen against Flaat, the Nikon Flat profile doesn't bring back anything extra, it just saves the work of installing Flaat, and must be smoother because they have better tools for making it than I do.
I don't have a Nikon camera, though, and the tests were not completely thorough.
 
New firwmare for D810, 1.10. Does this mean the D810 has timecode now? My D810 is in storage in another city at the moment.

  • An External recording control option has been added to the HDMI item in the SETUP MENU. If the camera is connected via HDMI to a third-party recorder that supports the Atomos Open Protocol (the Atomos SHOGUN, NINJA2, or NINJA BLADE), selecting On allows camera controls to be used to start and stop recording. More information is available in a supplementary manual.
    Note: Choose an option other than 576p (progressive) or 480p (progressive) for HDMI > Output resolution in theSETUP MENU.
  • • Fixed the following issues:
    • - Incorrect distances were shown in the camera playback info display for photographs taken with an optional flash unit in distance-priority manual (GN) mode.
    • - The brightness of the live view photography display would not change when a command dial was rotated to adjust exposure compensation with On (Auto reset) selected for b Metering/exposure > b4 Easy exposure compensation > Easy exposure compensation in the CUSTOM SETTING MENU.
    • - Although the preview button would stop the lens down to maximum aperture when assigned the Preview role, the maximum aperture indicator would not appear in the monitor.
    • - In rare cases, the shutter would not be released when the user attempted to take photographs in movie live view.
    • - About 4 seconds of static could be heard on audio recorded with external HDMI recorders during movie live view.
    • - The shutter speed, aperture, and ISO sensitivity displayed in the monitor during movie live view would differ from values in the final movie file.
    • - Volume could sometimes not be adjusted if movies were played with indicators hidden during full-frame playback (None (image only)).
    • - Exposure compensation would fail to produce the desired results if a negative value was selected when NEF (RAW) images were processed using the NEF (RAW) processing option in the RETOUCH MENU.
    • - Images would in rare cases fail to record correctly with HDR (high dynamic range) selected in the SHOOTING MENU.
    • - If On was selected for Exposure smoothing during interval timer photography, every frame after the first would be overexposed.
    • - File numbers were not assigned in the proper sequence.
    • - In some languages, characters or parts of characters would be missing from the SETUP MENU > Location data > Positiondisplay.
    • - In some languages, characters or parts of characters would be missing from the SETUP MENU > AF fine-tune > List saved values display.
  • • Some help text has been changed.
