Full frame and AF from D4s; what's not to like?
Because it isn't a D4s without the vertical grip for under £2k.
There is a worldwide population of people who have never got over the fact that Nikon realised that having the D700 so close in spec to the D3 was a marketing mistake,hurt D3 sales and won't repeat it.
Everything that put me off the D600/610 has been addressed it seems (live view, AF, one click zoom) so I'll be checking this out for sure. Not that bothered about lack of AF ON but it would have been nice to have it.
I don't see what there is not to like either. If I were in the market for an upgrade at the mo id be having two.
Now people are complaining it's too small. I guess the D810 should be as big as the D4s too? In fact, why don't Nikon just make all their cameras the same size as the D4s?
It's basically a d620, not a d700 replacement. At the risk of sounding a snob it has the consumer mode dial and not the ISO/wb on the top.
The d4 is great but above most price points for people. D810 is great for landscapes but less so for portraits and sports as poor fps and too many mp
The d3 series was great. D3 was an all rounder, the x for studios and the a for weddings. Why not have the d810 and the 810s, with the 810s having more fps and lower mp?
Like many the d700 is the best option still for me despite all the recent models.

Not the build everyone wanted, it's basically what the d6xx series should have been. It has the spec people wanted but not the build. Price wise it now makes sense as it's a similar RRP to the d600 when it was released.
I'm glad I didn't wait for this and picked up a second hand d800 at a good price. The d750 is basically a d7100 but with an fx sensor. I'm not sure if 6.5fps is going to be want people want. This release makes me think a d700 or d300 direct replacement will never happen. I honestly think nikon made fantastic cameras in the d700 and d300 but they were just too good and stopped people moving upwards.
If it's a d700 replacement surely it should be the same size?
Very much agree, I have kept my D300s even though I bought a D610 as I get the best of both worlds in versatility terms. And I've not had a single fault with the D300s yet in 6 years so it won't be going anywhere anytime soon!!
If you think about it the top end of fx lineup makes sense d750, d810, d4s. Bodies and specs step up nicely.
what will the next Nikon rumour bate be?
I love my D700 and D300, and all the time they are doing such a good job i'm unlikely to jump to a new model. OK there a tad behind technology wise but both excellent cameras, so why lash out £££ on a replacement? Better off investing in lens IMHO.... Nice to look though, still not convinced the 750 is / will be as robust as a 700 though.

I'm clearly in the minority here thinking that a smaller lighter body than the D700 is a good thing then. I've had days carrying a D700 round that ended with aching arms and shoulders, so any weight saving is a blessing in my opinion. Each to their own though.

Call me a gear snob [and the fact I am still using D700's says am probably not generally], but can't help feel that that left hand ode dial looks like consumer body.
Yep, it does, but the extra af points are nice to have. Not in any rush to changeYou just described the D610 though ^ basically. Because that will also do all that for you.
