1- the retro lens solution for nikon as explained/guessed would put me off totally -- clearly they will not be as good as the new ones
2- looking to speculations about he near future: wtf do people want 100MP sensor for? printing highway billboards or wallpaper for their mansions?
3- all this tech stuff is total ****ery (albeit fun, like regular ****ery) -- as have known for over a decade and a half now, if you lose sleep worrying about how good your picture could have been, just buy some leica glass, put it on a camera that will take it and sleep tight
4- become an anarchist photographer like me who mainly worries about creating a bit of art from time to time and often with a $25 lens...

Stanley Kubrick used the NASA Zeiss 50mm F 0.7 to shoot the famous candlelight scenes in Barry Lyndon in the not especially large BNC mount on an Arri III.
What the wider mount and shorter flange distance might do is allow that fast lens to be a little more compact.
PS As a Sony A7RIII user, I'm looking forward to seeing where Nikon goes with this.

I don't get the mega pixel thing either. Quite happy with 16-20mp on my MFT gear. The only time I would want more is when doing macro - you're often forced to make crops.
As far as I'm concerned I'm still very happy with micro four thirds. MFT has carved its own niche and people buy into it because of its smaller sensor and resulting smaller lenses and bodies. Strikes a great balance. I think Olympus and Panasonic will keep on doing their thing while Nikon, Canon, Sony and Fuji compete against each other.
I'm just surprised it has taken Nikon and Canon this long to wake up. Set in their DSLR ways I suppose and now scared of Sony.

Doesn't Sony make most sensors these days?

i suspect if you were announcing a big war, you might be afraid to look too.

definitely not a boat. you could make 2 or 3 boats from the area i have shot there.

what really worries me is that someone will start a thread 2 years from now with the heading: "can you be friends with a person carrying a big DSLR in public or wearing a fanny pack?"

the other thing that seems questionable is the big mount. it kinda rules out nice, small lenses, unless they are going full pancake for anything relatively short. as for mounting old lenses... well i had that option with my leica summicron R 50, but decided to sell it instead. it's like buying a ferrari and driving it around with a boat hauler attached to the back.

Vuk,
I do have a mirrorless camera — a Fuji X100 I picked up secondhand a few years back. It's a wonderful little thing provided you can work around its quirks. And my DSLR is about as small as a full-frame DSLR gets. With a couple of small primes — say a 28, 40 and 105 — it's really not comically large or burdensome to carry. It's certainly not orders of magnitudes bigger than a digital Leica with similar focal length lenses.
I'm just not interested in buying a new camera system every few years as the developments are rolled out.

OK, that looks a lot better than the mid-life crisis DSLR i see guys buying (or drooling over) at "downtown camera" every time i go in. i think i'm still contaminated/traumatized by memories of your old nikon film body.
i thought that sort of thing was the whole purpose of life in western democracies?

If the adapter requires the lossy semi-mirror thingy for autofocus, I wonder if there will be a separate, non-lossy adapter for older manual focus lenses?

my fuji x-t1 isn't as good as what you saw, but it was good enough for me to take a chance in 2016 despite being an optical viewfinder nazi. using it was revolutionary for me. optical finders will always be the best in terms of seeing things as they really are, but in terms of taking the best picture you can (on average) with the equipment in hand i have to confess that for me it's a 50/50 proposition at best. for others, it may be different.
