I have so far configured my recently purchased D7100 with function button as AE-lock in toggle mode. It is however not possible to make it release after an exposure and I would not want that, as I see one of the important uses for it is quick sequences with the same exposure for panoramas. It remains to be seen if I will lock it or leave it locked by accident... 

Hmm, the menus of the D700/D800 have custom settings: controls: Assign AE-L/AF-L and options include AE-L (reset on release) and AE-L (hold), as well as several other options for the button. 

In matrix metering on the D800 when a single focus point is placed on an extreme shadow or highlight within a scene it weighs extremely heavy on the overall exposure, to much so in my opinion, typically I'll use the AE-L to circumvent that type of exposure scenario or other high contrast scenes. Your use of locking it for panoramas sounds like to good approach as well.

Yes... back to the D5...

Hm. Have to remember to bring a CF card with me to the Nikon dinner tonight then :D

(just to be on the safe side ...)

I read on the digicame site that two models (XQD and CF) are likely to be offered.
You ought to check the viewfinder ocular thing if you have the chance...why is it designed like it is?

I'll do that of course. Bringing the old venerable Noct-Nikkor to the event. It really sorts any finder issues.

With Nikon there is always an underlying reason for a design choice  although many times this is not evident at first.

An additional thought: if there is to be any sense of providing those astronomical ISO settings, the camera really has to shine in the finder department (this includes LiveView performance too). Otherwise the super-ISO capacity is pretty meaningless if you cannot see  what you shoot, or the lenses respond in AF.

Could there be a 'night vision' attachment in the works - that'll explain the strange construction of the finder ocular ??

Can you please test any "silent" mode.

I felt on the D3s the "silent" mode was halfways silent, but not on the D4.

I did use the D3 in musical events and I got almost lynched by the public

We cannot have NG Supporters lynched of course -- will keep your point in mind.

Indeed, the higher than thinkable ISO is as natural as snow in Sahara if one cannot see  :D
Maybe the camera will have night vision goggles as an optional accessory.

To illustrate, I never managed to expose at higher than ISO 51200 in daylight photography. That translates into f/64 at 1/8000 sec so not many lenses will allow this unless you put ND filters on them !!.

For sake of argument let us assume the hefty rumours are true and the D5 can manage the equivalent of 3,276,800 (Hi-5 setting). Then we face the same definition issue seen earlier in computer industry regarding counting bytes. A numbering scheme using powers of 2 has cross-overs with a 10-based system, but the difference gets proportionally bigger as the actual numbers grow.

So, how should we count? Mebi (Mi, powers of 2) ISO or Mega (M, powers of 10) ISO?

What about 3.768K ISO ?

Actually, reckoning by powers of 2 is more in line with other measures applied in photography. Just think of f-numbers, exposure time, and ISO relationships.

Thus I would seriously consider 3 Mi ISO instead of 3.277 K.

Too little coffee imbibed obviously,

100 Ki ISO == 102 400 ISO
200 Ki ISO == 204 800 ISO
400 Ki ISO == 409 600 ISO
800 Ki ISO == 819 200 ISO
1600 Ki ISO = 1 638 400 ISO
3200 Ki ISO == 3 276 800 ISO
