Thom's predictions for 2013...

Nothing makes sense to me anymore in Nikonland.

I loved my D200. The DX sensor is just the right size for me. But the high ISO performance really sucks by modern standards and where's the good DX glass I thought would be coming?

I really thought Nikon would remain aggressive with their DX offerings. It just seemed to make total sense from a business perspective if nothing else. I thought DX had a long life.

But not any longer. Now I believe the future of DX sensors lies with mirrorless cameras like my new Sony NEX-6 and not with DSLR's.

I think Nikon got it wrong, twice. First, they put all of their DSLR eggs in the FX basket. And second, they failed to put their mirrorless eggs in the DX basket.

I will never understand why Nikon deserted DX in the way that they did but I fear it will prove very painful for them. I can't believe how many Nikon DX users are now in hanging out in the NEX forum!
