 Seeing the size comparison this camera really is Nikon FA like. It has the same angularity but looking at the video it has all the features of the current digital camera except there is no flash and to date I have not seen the LCD on the back.
Fuji has shown how slim a EVF camera can be in DX size but this new Nikon is FX so it is larger by definition. The size comparison with the Sony A7 (also FX) shows a smaller size in the Sony. The Sony A7 is EVF so that is really the indicator that the Nikon is probably more conventional but with a mirror. However they might just be delivering the same package as the A7 but in a retro body. The sound of the mirror might just be a digitised shutter sound!

I think the Nikon DF will hurt Sony A7 sales as it shows up with a huge range of lenses it can use whilst the Sony is struggling with their poor lens range.

If the Nikon DF is a success then it is easy to just up the megapixels from 16 to 24 or 36 or whatever.

November 5th is the information release date. Some fireworks display!.
