[updated] Nikon Needs to Fire someone Part 2

I’ve posted before about how I’d fire someone at Nikon given half the chance because their product lineup makes no sense. Thanks to Nikon Rumors, I now have even more evidence that they’re nuts over there. The above picture shows how their camera range is laid out. Makes perfect sense doesn’t it?

Buggers.

Still, I really want a D4 or maybe a D4X. Maybe the new Q1020 (Df) will float my boat, we’ll find out tomorrow. I couldn’t help but notice that in advert teaser #6 for the new camera they’re using it for night photography in one of the frames – maybe Nikon will finally have some features that we’ve been asking for?

Just thought I’d share this diagram.

Thanks Nikon Rumors for the data.

UPDATE

They released the Df. Sigh. Not what I wanted. Not even close. I was hoping for something a little more NEX-6 ish. Cameras are changing and Nikon and Canon don’t seem to know how to respond. Kirk Tuck over at DIYphotography says it better than I ever could. Read this.

    Too right dude, it feels like head in sand as the camera landscape changes.

      yup. I think we’re at an inflection point. Very soon the DSLR as we know it, will be used by the same guys that only just gave up on film and the rest of us will have moved to something new and mirrorless.

    Damnittohell! I know this is a relic of a dying age and total waste of money almost as surely as I know that I’m buying one as soon as I can scrape the cash together. Damn me and my silliness.
