Lou,

Yes indeed. I sure hope that it has fully electronic shutter and pixel-shifting!!!!

Afaik A7RIII already have electronic shutter and pixel shifting. Price is quite steep tho, but comparing Sony and Nikon bodies, i belive Nikon might be more expensive than A7RIII or A7III.

Im very interested what competition would bring to FF mirorless market.

Being Nikon, the price will probably be very high.

Lou,

I read somewhere that two version will be offered, one is a high resolution full frame with "expected" price of ~$3500. We'll know soon enough.

Best,

Yes, that's what I read too. I'll have to save for a year or two...

Me too!! Unless I sell some of my other stuff. Like I really don't "need" another camera, unless of course I sold some Nikon bodies I have

Best,

Or rather, more hype and drama!! They are making quite a big deal of this, and that's encouraging. Mirrorless is the future. Glad they realized it.

Hopefully the large MP body doesn't have the silly 5-axis rubbish everyone seems to love. Detrimental to my type of work. I'll be waiting for an official announcement

Really? I think the IBIS on my Sony cameras (A7rii and A9) is a wonderful thing. You get 4 or 5 stops of stabilisation that even works with adapted, legacy lenses. A little less (maybe 3 stops) at handheld macro scales in my experience, but it at least doubles my keeper rate compared to a fixed sensor. Fewer shots lost to camera shake - or I can lower ISO and shutter speed even further in low light situations and still get the shot. And you can simply switch it off when the camera is tripod or rail mounted.

It genuinely makes a noticeable and valuable difference for me - interested to hear what problem(s) it causes for you.

Steve, I agree completely. There is no downside since you can always turn it off. And that technology of moving the sensor precisely is what makes pixel-shifting possible too.
