[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 439135, member: 14443"] for the specs as it is, the cameras release price to sell was supposed to be $2000. people were outraged of nikons audacity to ask so much for so little. BUT! if they would have added video and a faster more capable AF module inside, 2 SD card slots, it would have sold for the price when it was launched. it would sell well because it would also appeal to pro videographers also. I could deal with the crappy setup of having the memory cards with the battery, I could deal with the 1/4000 shutter max, I could deal with the narrow af spread, but not for that price. but nikons greedy ways forgot about the economy (and the weak yen to doallar for a long time and needs price adjusting to all products) and people pinching pennies nowadays so instead of selling like crazy, its a fail in many peoples eyes. its not even a lukewarm topic. its a complete fail to many. interest level for this camera is non existent. today, the D750 completely overshadows it with performance/features/price in EVERY way. they could have made a slaughtering. I wouldnt buy it for $1500 today. the styling isnt why Id buy it and infact is more of hindrance to my fast work style. and the only thing thats the highlight in the camera is the D4 sensor. but I have a feeling we havent seen the end of that sensor yet. for me, Id just buy a grey nikon D750 with a 3rd party warranty..and thats what I plan on doing soon enough.
