Or a custom built one to Nikon specifications( I have a feeling that he D500- D7500 is using a sony sensor built to their specifications) or use their own design

This would make me consider updating to the D850
If they can squeeze out the base iso of the D850 to 50 or below then I would take a serious look at it
Yep. I think after the D600/D800 issue they sort of realized it is cheaper to admit their mistakes than getting involved in big legal battles. Sadly, I think that is what it takes to get a company to respond favorably to their technical issues.
We are pretty much guaranteed the D5 AF system if you look back at Nikon bodies historically, they seem to take that generation's D_ Autofocus system.
It is also pretty much guaranteed to have a flip screen at least as nice as the D500 if not better. That is my most used/appreciated new feature on the K-1 over my previous cameras. No more craning my neck to look through the back LED panel.. just tilt the panel at 90 degrees.
Base ISO isn't really accurate.. there was a chart going around awhile back and showed Pentax tend to under report how low their ISO really is. I can't seem to find it at the moment though.
Originally posted by mecrox IBIS would be a big new feature, even astro built in. But apart from pinching the ideas of others and maybe outdoing Canon with video it's quite hard to see what Nikon can really do beyond iterating to the best of technology available today. That includes putting more into slicker software in the camera. The point of sufficiency was passed a long time ago now, perhaps in about 2012 with the original D800. I suppose one could add that Nikon might also make a play for the kind of performance that would make medium format a questionable investment. Otherwise, the next really big thing further down the line is likely mirrorless or perhaps some new kind of sensor from a new company.
Ding ding. We have a winner.
I think that is precisely what they will do with this body.. attempt draw people away from MF systems considering they don't have one of their own. That is why I think they'll really increase the resolution greatly. They can't increase the sensor size so that's the only way to go.
If they can get people to believe there is minimal to no difference between it and say a 645Z in image output then they will have succeeded. Especially at the price point which is still way under the cost of a MF system.
Even if they don't convince the MF folks to play, the number of folks moving from D800/810 will still make it a success.
