Originally posted by D1N0 Product life cycle's are lengthening. Also the new flagship aps-c camera has to have some real improvements. Not just articulating screen added. Improved AF. Blue Tooth, touch screen (which means new menu system). PDAF on sensor in live view shooting (not just video). even faster shooting (at least 10fps) 4k video (albeit just to shut people up about it missing) Mechanical SR in video (why not?). New overlay for the focussing screen. Automatic AF micro-adjustment for lenses. UHS II. It takes time to implement all that (Are you reading this, marketing and development team over at Ricoh?).
I think an updated sensor, AF system, and screen as I suggested are pretty hefty enough of an update. But I'd be happy with the automatic AF micro-adjustments. But more realistically would be happy with the ability to manually micro-adjust at multiple points on a single lens.
4k isn't happening anytime soon.. The interview made that clear. That alone should quiet some.
I really do NOT want to see a touch screen on my camera ever though. No thank you.
And, above all, I want to see the price remain below 1k USD. Anything over that price and I'll just look at the K-1 instead. IF we keep throwing in this and this and this and this and this... we end up with a D500 or 7DII at D500/7DII prices. We should be more realistic.
