I will believe it when I see it.

The more the merrier.

I agree with the Nikon prediction and have said it all along .... 🙂

Because they have THE sensor.

Prototypes have been seen around Tokyo, so something is afoot!

 

[Tuolumne]

If Nikon did introduce one based on the D3/D700 sensor at a D700 price...that would be the kiss of death for Leica.

And the kiss of life for me regarding digital photography

 

[Tuolumne]

I would stand in line to buy one, too.

That would be too cool for words...

The "M" mount is always the 800 pound gorilla in the room. 🙂

Tom, your killing me.

i'm starting to save my pennies now... if no dRF materialiizes the money will go towards a D700 to replace my D200 in the next few months...

The idea excites me, but until I see some real hard proof that such a camera exists (or will exist), I won't hold my breath.

Wouldn't it be more likely that they use a 1.5x sensor?

Who cares what they stick in it, if it looks like the new SP people will fall over themselves to get one.

 

[monochromejrnl]

let's just pray it is m-mount!

 

[Ray Nalley]

If Nikon is going to market a dRF, why would they want to cripple it with an M mount. I would suspect it would be something completely new.

 

[wlewisiii]

I'd still rather have the Fuji folder.

"What do I base my Nikon prediction on? Nothing...I just like to dream."

Crap!

Crap!

You're not going to let a little thing like that ruin the party, are you?

M mount would make sense, so many legacy lenses. But Nikon could always update the mount, they did it several times for the F-mount as well...

Oh, it goes without saying that I'd sell my granny to own one.
