Wish they'd bloody hurry up but it makes far more sense to keep people in the dark and watch them shift to sony/Fuji etc.
They're being stupid by not saying a thing especially with the a73 announcememt.
Going by their previous mirrorless not great
But on that basis Nikon's will be even worse 
Going by their previous mirrorless not great
I'll think about it
Plus that £140 at wex is store credit vs. cash

And what about the lenses if it's a New mountGoing by their previous mirrorless not great
TBH there's no reason that they can't bring something great out straight away. Sony have done the leg work, all they need to do is copy it then make the ergonomics and colours better and they'll have a winner
Needs to have a perfect working adapter for f-mount whilst they produce the lenses for the new mount. Canikon have left it far too long imo, Sony are well ahead of the game.
Just face it, you gave your last one away

I did indeed. And I'll probably "give away" this one too in matter of few months. So I am not dying for it.
It's not hard to drive me down on price as you very well know
Up to you homeslice
Don't trade your stuff - sell it to me

I think it’s a given there’ll be a new mount tbh, but what will be a very dangerous move is if the F-mount is not FULLY compatible with an adapter.I think a brand new Nikon mount could be a dangerous move
Nikon don’t use Sony sensors anymore
Am I missing something?

In excellent condition.
Sony decided to hold back on some of their best sensors so Nikon (and probably others) are looking elsewhere. The D850 was the first departure from Sony and I believe that future sensors won’t be either. Whether Nikon are still using Sony sensors for the older bodies (such as D500) or have started putting tower jazz in them now I don’t know, but I strongly suspect they’re still Sony.
But then no-one will need to hire a pro tog if that’s the caseIt’s not a case of Sony holding back their sensors, it’s just that Sony Digital Imaging business get around a 6 month exclusivity deal with Sony Semiconductors to use the latest sensor technology first.
Any 3rd party company can buy/source sensors off Sony Semiconductors providing they pay the price, Sony will even do custom designed sensors like they do for Fuji etc
Nikon have done well with Sony sourced sensors, managing to eeek better performance out of them than the ones in Sony’s own bodies
Sony are pushing out some great sensor technology, if you dig deeper into the history behind the Sony A9 project, the sensor was actually thought up over 3 years ago.
That’s some insight, imagine what Sony are working ok now that’ll be in bodies in the future.
Knowing Sony it’ll probably push the technology which they put in G Master lenses..... think Sony A9 with a 100mp sensor but even better AF, responsiveness, build, technology.
In the future all we would need to do is press the shutter button, the camera will do the rest, no stress, no effort..... no post processing... no workflow, just pure output direct to the client thus saving time and money.
Imagine doing a wedding and handing over the files straight out of the camera, that’s the future....... maybe
