Yes, and at a lower price.

Everyone but Nikon fanboys because they still think 20mm APSC is amazing today.

In the film days I had chrome bodies for color and black bodies for B/W film. The only film camera I kept is a black FM2. I'm not sure if they came in anything but black.

Nikon FM2 and FM2n came in both black and chrome. In fact all versions of the FM came in both black and chrome.

Interesting, the silver bodies were aimed at the amateur market. Most guys wanted the black version, which, in my honest opinion, looked the best. After all, aren't all Nikon professional camera's manufactured today black.

A ‘retro look’ camera isn’t based on what professionals do today.
Below are the cameras I own which were manufactured before 1990.

I like that look. I think manufacturers would find that the black/silver combination would sell very well.

And it was worth every penny.

That's what my Df and Zfc look like. A Zf in black/silver would fit right in. I have enough all black cameras.

Nope, it is a brand new sensor, Read up on it.

People who are bothered by that size will chose another one. Others realize that only so much detail is needed.

Indeed it does. This one was supposed to be 45mp. I know Nikon over priced the Df when it came out, so they had to hit a lower price point with this one. But I find it hard to believe an older sensor like the D850, or even the 36mp D810 sensor, which is even older, would cost more than this 24mp. Even if it did price out $100 more, I think most people would pay it willingly, to get a superior higher resolution sensor with no softening filter.
The real killer for me is the AA softening filter. I know the wedding guys will be all over me on that, but I would rather not see my trees at infinity turn to mush.
I know there have been a few responses to this thread saying they feel 24mp is all the detail one needs. I'm going to go out on a limb here, and suggest those folks probably never shot with a true high resolution sensor like the 850 or Z9. If they had, I would think there is a good possibility they might reconsider that opinion. Just sayin.

Surely it's not a model aimed at those that are looking for a 45mp non AA filter camera for serious landscape work at only $2000.

I suspect most shooters don’t need to see the detail of those trees at a distance, or they would have walked/driven down there. I suspect they also don’t examine them with a telescope. I’m one of those who doesn’t care to see everything.
