Toying with what is really required in a new camera....First off, noticed that Lenses have become Bigger..Heavier and Slower..check the Huge and heavy PC-E nikkors 19 f4.0..24 f3.5...85 f2.8..vs. the old small`ish and lightweight  PC Nikkors 28 f3.5...35 f2.8...Yes, I can assure you that together they will not all fit in a lowepro slingback, which is a reasonably sized bag.

Just this X-mas have I become the Happy owner of a IRIX blackstone 11mm f4.0...it is Huge and Heavy !!...Bigger and Heavier than the 35-70 f2.8 af-D.

Most here are familiar with the Huge 14-24 f2.8, .. and then there are those that are even Bigger and Heavier , like the telephoto`s...it seems clear what direction  Lens design is going to.

So then , it is clear to me , that the Dslr has to ...Shrink in Size and Weight,..with Computer components becoming smaller and yet of more capacity..I think Nikon has already done that...looking at nikon Df..

Why is there no successor  ??..it was a bomb,..photogs jumped on it, even coming from other brands.

Is it possible that the Df was a "feeler" ?...and Why did a semi-pro camera received Nikon`s best sensor ?...

I , for one, can n`t wait for the D6 to appear..will it be a D5 look alike ( yawn )....or will it be the new Df ?...

The Slr finder is the Best there is , all that is required is for it to be placed in a smaller , lightweight unit of Higher capacity..now, the technology is here..but will it be in the D6.

Will I be disappointed ?..

What say you , fellow capturers of light and shadows.
