I ignored Fuji in the same way that someone planning to buy a Renault will ignore Ferrari. Both will get you from A to B but the most definitely aren't the same. Someone looking for a full frame camera isn't going to consider Fuji, or Leica for that matter, unless money is no object.

Hence we need to consider these new Nikons against what potential buyers may also consider. Sony are the obvious starting point but anyone looking at full frame will also look at a Nikon SLR and/or a Canon SLR. The new Z series are, according to at least one review, on a par with the equivalent Sony products, great that is as it should be. The fact that Sony are on their third generation camera and Nikon on their first is irrelevant. Not that the reviewers will agree.

Yes I want them to sell well because I want Nikon to be around for a while longer. I agree with Eric, mirrorless isn't, yet, the maid of all work that the SLR is.
