Would people do to their spouse if they announced a new item of clothing? I hope not, but the internet is not like real life where you see the wider range of experience with of the  person or thing being discussed. I think this and very announcement going back years is pretty interesting. Will I buy it? No, but it would be fine addition to the kit I I had money that was more usefully spent on something else. Unless a camera kit is beyond repair and the lighting and lens department were fleshes out optimally I don't recommend any one update a camera, it is the least important element of your kit.Will it sell? Yes, the biggest advantage over all other current models below the D500 is the image processor and sensor. For sports shooters who need JPG sent during the game, and don't already have a D5 or D500, it is a no brainer.  JPGs are just better in low light and high ISO compared to any other brand or model.  After a weekend of really thrashing a D500, and comparing to my D800, no question, straight out of camera JPGs are much better in the same conditions on the D500 at 12k or 25k ISO. Dramatic difference in color fidelity and perceived noise. That sensor and new rendering engineer is a Nikon breakthrough. The D500 essentially killed sales of the 7DII because of this, files come out much better in tough  conditions. For RAW files, the D7x00 or D5x00 are fine for any normal shooting requirement, there is no reason  to upgrade anything unless one just likes the smell of new cameras, for normal shooting or where there is controlled light. Even sports shooters with  credentials don't need the high iso everyone seems to go gaga over, pro lighting in televised games has great light.  For now, I will stay with my very reliable and capable D7000 as a second camera to my D800 for events, weddings, and portraiture/fashion. A better return on investment comes from lighting, and lenses.  One very good prime in 3 popular FLs is enough for any but BIF and pro sports as an  ungrade over the slow zooms.This new model will be  a fine camera for people who want its features, and its price point, that is slightly lower than my D90 when it was new.My advice is go shoot what you have, it is good enough if the composition, story and lighting is appropriate for the story you want to tell.</blockquote>
