If this this isn’t too expensive I look at it as a great opportunity to get the D4 sensor that is in a $6k body for half or less than that price. I don’t need the insane ruggedness or 10fps of the D4, but I could certainly use the best low light performing sensor on the market today. Sure they’re probably reusing tech, but it’s not like they’re throwing a D80 sensor into a $3k body or anything.
Not saying I’ll be getting one for sure until I get more details, but I think people are quick to put this camera down for a number of ridiculous reasons without giving it a chance.
I just think there’s room for it in their stable of FF cameras
D4- Pro sport shooters, wedding photographers, concert photographers, news, documentary
D800- Studio, Fashion, landscape, super high res
D610- Kind of a mix of everything…Jack of all trades master of none in a way(not saying it’s a bad camera I have its maligned little brother D600 and like it a lot)
There is room for something else
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
