This will be way out of my price range.

I have to ask this question. On this and other mirrorless cameras, aren't you still viewing your subject via a small LED view screen?

Yes, you are viewing the image through a LED or OLED viewfinder but you can also look at it in the rear monitor. With my Olympus cameras I am looking at the image through the viewfinder at near 100% its size.
The LED or OLED viewfinder is more than adequate to view the subject. It is for me.

Specific details had better be coming very soon, followed by cameras that people can buy.

The viewfinder on my Oly is superb.

I would think their target market would have no problem buying this camera. The same as the D850.

This "new mount" could be the undoing of a dieing NIKON. What is it with camera companies always changing mounts?? Kinda like the "Pony Express". Constantly changing mounts, doesn't sit well with old lens owners. I won't miss NIKON.

I may be wrong. I thought I read they would have an adapter that would allow for their prior FF lenses. I just glanced at the article.

You have a choice on most advanced mirrorless cameras. The EVF or electronic viewfinder works much like an SLR finder, in that you hold your eye up to a port on the back of the camera. But that’s where similarity ends. The EVF:

> is always clear and bright
> never blacks out during exposure
> can display several sets of different information, including a live histogram, audio meters for video, full exposure data, a level, and much more than a dSLR can include
> allows low light stills and video work in a theatre by not distracting others
> allows use of a totally silent electronic shutter
> can show you the effects of manual exposure changes
> displays what a processed JPEG image looks like, so you can make adjustments on the fly
> can be used for most or all of the tasks that the separate OLED or LCD screen on the camera is used for.
> requires no noisy mirror that gets out of alignment, knocks dust and goo onto your sensor, and blocks your view during exposure

Many of these things can be done “after exposure” on a dSLR, but the EVF allows feedback before, during, and after exposure.

I used SLRs and dSLRs — Canon and Nikon — from 1968 to 2012. I will likely never use a dSLR or SLR again, other than as a prop in a video. The mirrorless advantages are that appealing for the work I do.

This Nikon announcement is going to be very interesting as far as the price point is concerned. With Sony's new A7iii sales exploding due to it's "bang for the buck," can Nikon compete at this level? If there are multiple choices Nikon has planned for their roll out, maybe. If not, I wonder how many enthusiasts are ready to drop possibly $3K+.

You maybe right but...how much is the adapter? I wonder if Nikon is coming out with a more affordable version of this "Sony killer" since they seen fit to do away with the Nikon1?

The real question is not will they have an adapter, but will it be worth using? And the more important question is, “How many lenses will they have, and what are they?”

They has lenses for the Nikon1 mirrorless cameras, are they changing the mount's again?
