It is slimmed down too. Not as wide. As far as the knocks on it, 14 fps and 4K video seems good enough too.

That teaser isn't going to help sales of the D5. On the other hand, I'd hate to read about the D6 the day after I bought a D5. I guess forewarned is forearmed.

Details! ($6,500, but Abe's of Maine will probably have a good deal.

Not much detail yet. AF is more powerful?
This will be interesting to see some side by side comparisons.

The D6 is priced out of reach for most people, high tech features are unnecessary for most people. I wonder if pro's are going to buy it to replace their D5s?
I agree I'll take the D850 but...can you imagine the thrill of walking into your camera club with a D6 around your neck and waiting for people to notice?

Found a side by side comparison of the D5 and D6. That new AF better be pretty smoking as beyond that there is not much difference between the two including a weak AF in video mode.
