Finally, Nikon announce a mirrorless 24mp FX body with dual SD slots!
Amazon currently have this with a kit lens on pre-order for end of august for £1719. It's not entirely clear if the deal also includes the FTZ adapter as the button says yes but nowhere else in the production description is it mentioned.
This will probably be enough to push me to trade in my D610 at last as the silent shutter feature will come in very handy.

Website says: '...Nikon’s Z mount—the widest full-frame lens mount there is. More light reaches the camera’s sensor...'
I'm in new territory here but do they mean that, say, f2.8 on this camera allows more light in than f2.8 on another Nikon FX body?
No chap. A 2.8 on doesn’t become a 1.8 on a Z body. But with a bigger hole in the front, it enables the lens designers to make faster lenses. The F mount has been around since 1959 and I guess Nikon finally realised it has run out of steam in terms of capability. Canon have done this 3 time now, from FD to EF and now RF. I believe it’s called progress. I'm in new territory here but do they mean that, say, f2.8 on this camera allows more light in than f2.8 on another Nikon FX body?
OP. Even on that link you posted it mentions two options. You have to pay more for the FTZ adaptor, so check carefully.

Yes it looks like Amazon have made an error in their listing as the only option they have available right now is Z5 + lens + adapter whereas when you checkout the adapter mysteriously disappears from the item description.OP.

I'm sure the Victorians had a bigger hole in the front than a Nikon F-mount...!Gassing Station | Photography & Video | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
