In some years we'll be carrying a portable drive on our back so the cam can store the RAW files it shoots.
That's getting to be the way Nikon (and Sony) try to justify big price increases. More megapixels. 24 is plenty for me, and I, too, want to see more dynamic range.Dear Nikon,
Please stop with the needless megapixel grandstanding, you are making my head hurt. Request instead real, functional upgrades that actually matter; like more dynamic range (an additional 2EV would put me over the moon) and faster processors.
I'd ask for wireless and GPS functionality across the board but don't want to push my luck.

Better and more accurate metering system
I was comparing the raw files from the D800 and D7100 which I have with a Fuji X100t the other day as I'm hoping to get one. To compare the files I down sampled them all to 16mp like the Fuji. I was initially interested in noise, but I noticed that whilst all three handled noise well, the D800 retained more fine detail. This made me think about the comments people often make that we only need 6mp or such like unless we print huge. That may be true regarding the end product but big files that are down sampled do have benefits.
All that said, I won't be looking at more than 36mp as a plus as the files I have are big enough to manage already. Better high ISO is my main interest hence looking at an APSC compact, as my Coolpix P7100 was useless as the ISO increased.
Sony's A9 is supposed to have 50 +/- MP. That's beyond my humble comprehension. The A7, with 24MP, is absolutely stunning. If the A9 produces twice the quality of the A7......... :tongue-new: at $4000. Everything has a price.

There's little use in a 48Mpix that falls apart at 3200 ISO.
Who takes landscape or billboard destined studio shots at ISO 3200?
