The K1 looks to be a very solid , well specified and potentially good value FF option . As usual with Pentax, the K1 offers a unique spin/spec mix which is welcome. A smaller FF DSLR option , but ...

Nikon F , Nikon F2,  Nikon F3  . The cameras they were made for originally.

Tony , I am surprised at you , the F3H did not have auto focus , that was a different version called the F3AF with a different head and there were only two AF lenses available for use with this ...

You could but,   until the  2016 announcements, Nikon have  seemed  a little less  aggressive than in the past . A bit too defensive if you like, skirting around the edges  or holding back . The ...

Agreed . Ironically the 5DIV will no doubt address this slot, and perhaps the new Pentax FF too.

The forthcoming 5DIV  could force their hand leading to a realignment of  the smaller  bodied FX line up.

The Canon 5DIV will reset the bar for a smaller fast FF body . The D750 could morph into a tougher more hardcore spec version in parallel .

That is an interesting  and. original take on the subject . How about the Canon forthcoming  5DIV forcing their hand in the interim, as the 7DII probably did resulting in the D500?

Quite  . Some just fail to understand .

The camera  body in question would be a blend of the D750 and D810 with most of the added hot sauce from the D500 , and in a scaled up version of that body .  One new alternative is all that is ...

Not to me , others say yes. The Canon 5DIV will reset the bar for this slot   , and Nikon will  no doubt move the D810 up to 50  MP plus,  leaving a gap in their line up .

D500 ' type ŵof body ' meaning similar if not exact specs but obviously scaled up in physical size as necessary ! No need , it's obvious .

In ethos and function it is the 'replacement ' for the D 300s and fits in the modern line up as the top  of the line DX body .

Wrong  , the D700 had a full metal jacket . Sorry  but your  copy above is simply nonsense .

For heavens sake , not literally,  just specified and based on the D500 ethos.

Agreed.

Hold a D300s   Followed by  a D7xxx and if you cannot tell the difference then a more robust build is not necessary for your needs .

Like a D500 is to the D300s . A direct replacement , no argument . The D750 simply is not a direct reolacement for the D700 , but if it is for you then that is fine too.

Thank you T O Shooter ,  you  get it , so many other here seem rather confused and accept incremental updates or differing specs in workaround body configurations  as the real  deal . None are ...

All the new tech in the D500  for starters  plus lower FPS , no 8000th sec top shutter speed , probably not as robust ,  button control layout etc etc .
