Having shot 7 dance performances lately with the Df, D750 and D4 I can without hesitation say that the D4 (D5) would be my choice the next time. Soooo, if finances permit I might look at getting a big 'un.

How many of you are actually looking forward to upgrade to the D5? Personally I am still a happy owner of the original D3... never had a justifiable reason to upgrade. Said that I am looking forward to see what Nikon will come up with!


I am happy with the D3 body and the D600 image quality. Both combined with a silent shutter mode (that is really silent) would be perfect.

Looks like at least 12 fps (CH12).
I also note that there are two "buttons" on each side of the viewfinder's ocular. Is it detachable?
If one of them is used to close off the ocular, what could the other one do?
(there is, in addition, also a dioptre adjustment knob similar to the current D4)

I like the button placement around the shutter button.

The D5 (or may be the D5s) is absolutely a possibility I will be considering. The D3s which I am still using frequently, is quite good even today. However, after two generations of improvements an upgrade will certainly be useful. Still I expect to keep my old D3s. Having two such fast FF cameras will be nice. Of course, there will soon be many very good used D4s cameras for sale too - grabbing one of them could be another possibility.

According to my information. The D5 was supposed to be made available this Dec......which it will not.

Also according to my information, I was advised not to get the D4/D4s and wait for the D5 which is packed with new features.

Is it Evolutionary or Revolutionary.....time will tell.

In the mean time. I originally wanted to ditch the D3s but I am having withdrawal symptoms and I do not need 20/24/36 meg for certain shoots were either the sheer volumes of shots are needed or bracing the weather unfriendly elements.

The D3s will stay, it has too much great memories.....in time, it will join my F1 - F4 - F6

Waiting anxiously for the D5 and ughhh, the D5s.

Judging from posts at Nikonrumors, the D5 looks like a done deal with sales to start soon.  What would interest me more would be a D810 successor.  Nice if it got the souped up AF sensor.  The near total silence on a D810 successor since the rumor first appeared in October has me wondering...

These two buttons seems to be to detach the part around the ocular (for the L-angle viewfinder?).  In another image posted on NR, I see yet another lever right behind the left button which could be for the eyepiece shutter.

I've gawked at those images again and yes, there is a second lever on the left side. I wonder if we will see a detachable thingy where one optional piece could be and EVF for video/LV work. If so...VERY clever.

While a detachable EVF wouldn't surprise me, and is most likely, a true hybrid E/OVF would be awesome.  I would love to have EVF capabilities like peak focusing without giving up my OVF.  Being able to switch between the two with the push of a button would be entirely doable but would take some very clever engineering.  What would be really nice would be the integration of HUD tech in the OVF.  You could have peak focusing, shadow/hi light clip warnings, etc. while still using an EVF.  Only thing you would be missing would be a magnifying feature, but with accurate peak focusing I wouldn't care.  I'd buy a new body asap for that.

Do you remember Zigview, a viewfinder attachment using a video camera and an LCD?  I would LOL if these levers are for an attachment of this kind.  :D
