Pro crop d500

Nikon needs to do what Leica did in 1953, which was to introduce the M3 and then sit on their laurels over multiple decades, while releasing a small stream, well ,no more of a dribble really rather than a stream, comprised of multiple, half-baked, piece of chit follow-up models, until they come up with an M6 in the mid-years three decades later...then stagnate for about 32 years, then stagger into the digital era with a half-azzed model in the "8" number range with a bad sensor that demands a hot-mirror UV blocking filter because the sensor turns everything that' supposed to be black into a sort of purple-ish, UV-polluted, black-ish sort of mess. That's what Nikon needs to do, copy Leica's strategy.

I own one and like Leica, but this is funny.. hehe.

I thought the Camera Section was for recovering GAS addicts. Everything was fine this morning, now I want to go and place my order for one of these new things.

You like ugly cameras ?

I was given a D200 years ago and it certainly looked ugly enough and was one of the reasons I just had not brought myself to buy one of these DSLR's, but once I stated to use it I found that everything was right where you needed it to just take pictures. Your not looking at the camera when you take pictures and at the end of the day just toss it in the camera bag.

Certainly my favorite camera to look at but never use was my grandfathers Contax III and the ugliest was my mom's Brownie.

Ooh, nicely done Nikon. I can't wait to see the official reviews on performance. So this is going to be even better than the D7200? The D7200 is the only other APS-C camera I've ever really admired, it's just not a good fit for me personally. Excited to see what this one looks like.

It will be better than a d7200. At least it should be built better. my sister in law has a d300,it's a tank!

I like the ISO button location, just like the D5, can now change ISO with one hand. No pop-up flash may allow full movement of the tilt-shift lenses.

I'm sure it will be an awesome camera for sport/wildlife photographers but I'm sitting rather happy with my D610.

I never expected this and I just thought Nikon would make small improvements on the D7200 or slap out some more entry levels. So who is going to be the first TPF beta tester.

I kinda hope because of this model Nikon does a few new dx specific lenses, something like a 50-140/150 f2.8 similar to fuji and samsung

Nikon does not do it but the Sigma 50-150 f2.8 APO OS HSM is kicking around and it is one of the sharpest glasses out there. I know cause I own one [emoji4]

I'll wait for the FX verison...

Considering what we've seen out of the D7200, D5500, D610, D810, etc. This is finally something new. The specs are seriously impressive and innovative for once.

After years of gusty demands for a pro DX body, here it is. With DSLR sales down and affordable FX options available(not to mention the D7200), let's see how many who whined about build quality and pro-level controls actually step up with the cash. Seems like a pricey iteration delayed a bit too long. So Nikon.
