[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 623999, member: 13090"] I'm suspicious Nikon is moving toward a business model aimed much more, if not [I]exclusively[/I], at professionals. Meaning more high-end bodies (whether mirrored or mirror-less (maybe both)), high-end glass and, course... Prices to match. The hobbyist/pro-sumer market I see being left virtually unsupported. I have a sneaking suspicion Nikon will, at some point in the not too distant future, come on the scene with at least one new mirror-less offering aimed at the professional market, again with a price-tag to match. I think they'll want something with a certain amount of lens support "built in" so you're not just buying a camera, you're buying a complete system; maybe even utilizing the current F-mount to allow for all that sweet, sweet vintage glass to be utilized. I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts/donuts, Nikon releases more and more pro-level gear in the coming months/years while releasing less and less gear aimed at the more casual shooter. The release of the more budget-oriented 10-20mm DX lens does nothing to convince me otherwise. Of course I'm only speculating. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]...[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
