[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 678554, member: 15675"] It seems silly not to do it, to fully develop the Z-mount, you need to give professional gear, so why not a D5 body, with adapted mount (a bit of a challenge). You would not avoid EVF (no more room to send the optical waves), unless you work with a double lens system? However this form factor does not seem an idea Nikon is working on. I do have the impression that the Z-mount is wrongly understood: due to the larger mount and short flange the lens can delivery more light to the sensor avoiding extreme impact angles, giving less artifacts. So the mount does allow to create better lenses, that can deliver on the already great Nikon sensors/system. The system needs to be mirrorless to do this, so it seems Nikon is going to mirrorless FX with the idea to create better images, not focusing on following an other system features. It is not a clickbait message, but will the resulting pictures not convince? Yes the new Nikon Z-system will have it's development issues, but many landscape photo enthusiasts exploring larger nature reserves will adore a lighter body with D850 sensor/system and with sharper lenses. Similar like Canon, Nikon will sell many instances of a new system in their established customer base, sales will prove nothing. [/QUOTE]
