Thanks, Julio. I celebrated by pre-ordering one of those half scale F models they had for sale, and today they cancelled the order. Guess they're not selling enough of them to make it worthwhile to go into production.
Although they've released some good cameras in the past year, some of them are just ho-hum. Then Nikon canceled its line of high-end point and shoots, because the P&S market is pretty much dead because of smartphones.
On top of that, Nikon continues to have problems with the D750 shutter.
The company doesn't have a viable mirrorless system, which is the hot market segment in digital photography.
Finally, there is a rumor that Nikon is looking for outside investors, and the Japanese government is working behind the scenes to ensure that it doesn't fall into the hands of a Chinese, Taiwanese or Korean investor, and the government would like Fujifilm to take a stake in the company.
