Form factor looks to be rather modern. I’m a fan of boxy retro design, but can understand why they would let ergonomics rule. Looking forward to finding out more!

Looks like a huge mount or a very small camera body 


Looks actually like MF,,, Square sensor    pure speculation

As strong believer of "form follows function" concept, I would prefer the ergonomics design, so long as it makes sense.

The vintage film cameras do look beautiful to me, too, but I think that is simply because they followed the function of a camera in which you need to put a roll of film and wind it.

That's the rumored "Z" mount, I guess?  The square sensor is highly unlikely, sorry to say.  But a Hasselblad V style square sensor camera with the square LCD surrounded by the foldable hood on top of the body would be nice!

the spot does not really share a lot of information???

Frank, that's exactly how the "teaser" is meant to be!

I am hopeful, although not optimistic, this will bring some D850s into the used market. It would be helpful if the new camera had a higher megapixel count than the D850.

[Frank Fremerey]

I will wait and see. Currently the D850 seems heavy to me even without the battery grip

Arthur, that would happen, if ever, a while after the release of the equivalent mirrorless model...

The camera should be much lighter than D850.  I'm curious about the bulk of the lenses.  The lens in this teaser could be the rumored f0.95 one.   

[Erik Lund]

I'm pretty sure people will hold on to their D850 for a long time



The first set of lenses will most like be fixed focal length f/1.4 I agree with NikonRumors on that 


Noct if ever,,, much later,,, true the Z-mount is capable of fast lenses but i'm pretty sure high ISO capability is 'ruining' more or less the need for a Noct as the first lens,,,

I am a very patient, and thrifty, individual. . . .

The D850 is a very large and bulky camera, heavy and inconvenient to tote around. The mirrorless will be smaller, lighter and much easier to carry. Only a true fossil would want a D850 after the mirrorless body is introduced. . .That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Your true fossil,

We just disagree 


Many of us don't need a smaller camera, actually by far I prefer a larger camera for most work.


By the look of the teaser the lenses are huge anyway, they will most like not be the size of Leica M lenses,,,

We don’t disagree as much as you might think, but I am still hopeful many D850 users WILL discern a need for the new camera and will want to sell their D850s to help fund the purchase. As I said, a higher megapixel count sensor in the new camera would be helpful in driving that process. We shall see. I’d very much like to pick up a used D850 at a reasonable price. At my current age, with both the D500 and D850, I doubt I’d ever need another camera. Or, at least I’d be able to restrain myself.
