These examples indicate that the new camera indeed pushes the boundaries of photography further into the darkness.

Tripods traditionally enabled photographers to capture scenes in very low light, but at the price of long shutter speeds. Let a camera record for some hours and one will be surprised of the outcome. Darkness turns into near daylight, but with a more sinister mood and all movements are blurred, to the extent that anything passing through the viewed field becomes in practice invisible if its speed is high enough, its reflectivity is low, and the passage is not repeated. One can literally move  around the scene without fear of being rendered into a recognisable shape. Only if one stands still for some time against a bright enough  background,  'ghost trails' will add to the photograph. Walking with a torch in your hands will add a weak light trail. A passing car makes a brighter impression and a busy highway will puts its indelible lighting mark as well.

All the above have been known and used creatively by photographers for centuries. However, the new horizons that open enable the photographer to combine low light and movement in entirely new manners.  To a much greater extent, the photographer can decide whether a static or a dynamic rendition of the scene is to be manifested and turned into a visually compelling image, even when the light levels subside and fade into darkness. Very exciting times for sure.

Completely agree with your words.
More tools to expand our creativity.
Thanks Nikon engineers for that.
I wonder what more the next generation D6 would be capable of. See through walls? Photograph under people's clothes?

This looks pretty impressive. Indeed extra possibilities and challenges.
