Same here (but long live Df anyway - I'm getting sentimental with this camera)

Best camera I’ve ever used.

Latest rumors suggest a “fast” 24mpx camera and a 45mpx model. Considering the D5 is only 21mpx, it seems to me that 24 should be “enough” if it makes the camera better in low light. Anyone have an opinion one way or another?

A 24MP sensor who's design is four or five years newer than the one in the D750 is a good choice for any camera.  Low light performance would be expected to be excellent, but with enough pixels to satisfy the desire for fine detail in prints.

Keith,  as much as I really like my Df (just love working wit the files) , my D750 was a better 'all-rounder'.  I would love to see a Z6/Z7 thread like BR's "humongous" Df thread  ;D .  The rumoured Noct 58 f.95 does have me intriqued since the 58 f1.4G is pretty much a fixture on the Df.  I just hope the sensor in the new cameras are a Nikon design (no matter who makes it  :) ) .  Too early to get too excited  ;) .

Judging from the pictures posted @ Nikonrumors(dot)com the rear screen looks to be 4".
I am also keen to see whether or not there is a command wheel between the shutter button and the strap lug.
No AF-ON button is not good though.

The image of the rear is a photoshopped composite image as far as I can tell,,, not sure about the one you have uploaded of the front with mount,,,
So no comment on details from my part ;)

We shortly get hands-on experience. That trumps any video.

If you mean the first lens in the video, it is in fact an existing Noct Nikkor 58 f/1.2 AI-S with serial number 185045 :)
 
The last lens in the video on the other hand, the details are too hard to figure out (for me). But someone in the comments section on NikonRumors has made adjustments and the image hints at being a Z 24-70 f/4 lens and takes 72mm filters.

The image posted on Twitter by Nikon's official account offers clearer image of the lens.

Looks more like a prime lens to me.
