Given that Nikon us using Sony sensors (just like Ricoh) it is good news for Sony. Part of the cost of the Sony A7/A9 line is that those sensors are only used by Sony. If they can get Nikon on board with mirrorless and buying the stacked BSI sensor for the A9 and the 42MP sensor from the A7rIII line it should help lower sensor cost. These will directly compete with Sony and that is good news for Sony owners. Sony needs competition.
Its not click bait. Nikon fan boys have been talking about a new Nikon A7III/A7rIII competitor and they expect it to be announced in September. Canon will also have one on display.
By the way, why do you care if it generates clicks or not?

True, but Sony ergonomics do suck. I wish they would let Ricoh or Olympus design and build their bodies.

Originally posted by Rondec With these specs, the price is going to be D850 territory. 9 fps, in body stabilization, and 450 auto focus points. The biggest question is with regard to lenses and that is what will really tell if these cameras will do serious battle versus Sony or not. If Nikon can have better quality and keep the size of their lenses controlled, then this will be a serious competitor in the marketplace.
Sigma will quickly take their Sony FE mount ART lenses and transition them to the new Nikon mount. That's 18 pro-grade lenses that can be used on the new Nikon mirrorless cameras within a few months. I'm also sure Nikon will have an adapter for existing Nikon glass ready at launch. Sony has been very successful at stealing Canon customers with adapted glass. More successful than I ever thought they would be.
