I actually got an email from B&H Photo about that, Looks nice and it's full frame,
Bit pricey though, Although, I think they are aiming at the crowd that is almost pro.
I'd buy one, But I think I'd like to read more reviews on the video first.

I don't understand why Nikon is so slow at autofocus in video mode,
They should have gotten it down pat eons ago.

That's a long wait.

Ironically, it's because Nikon hasn't produced a pro DX format camera since the D300 that someone I know is planning to switch to Canon.

Let's hope they get the AF right this time. This looks to be a great camera with 5.5 fps at 24mp.

The nice thing is that it will use all those old lenses that Nikon made for film cameras,
It has the same body powered lens motor that my D80 has.

So if I bought it, Then I could use all my old Nikon lenses on it.

Like the D80, D90, D7000, D700, D800, D1, D2, D3, D4 ...

An internal AF motor isn't a unique feature in Nikon bodies.

It's more than just motors. Some old "film" lenses have metering signal requirements too. The D80,90,7000 can't use AI lenses to their full potential, but the pro bodies can. But you are right with spect to AF lenses.

Yes, Perhaps not so unique,
But nice to see that that feature isn't being eliminated.

Not yet anyways.

Almost pre-ordered this. Its time to upgrade from the D7000. However there is some other gear that needs to get sold first before I pick this up. Cant wait though
