As Nikon 1 line looks moribund, and talk about a Nikon FF mirrorless systems comes and go, which sensor would you like to see first in such a camera?

I am not sure I would be interested, as it would depend upon the overall, final execution of the product, but the D5 sensor is the one which most has my attention, for low-light shooting, so that is my poll choice.

Something proven like the 610/750/d4 sensors.
Also a solution to keep the price reasonable.
Something that would work well with manual focus lenses, even the old ones.
I'd also be OK with aps-c to bring the price down even further.

That is the main reason I would buy a mirrorless nikon. I don't even own an AF lenses for my A7, it's just a back for my legacy optics. It would be nice to have a camera that had aperture automation and also be mirrorless for my F mount MF lenses.
That would be a deal killer for me. I have zero interest in an APS-C mirrorless.
I think it's a no brainer that they have to do at least two bodies: one with <24 and one with 36 or more.
To do only one body would be a monstrous mistake IMO.
If you're going to jump in, jump in with both feet and don't half a$s it.

Mid makes the most sense to begin with. I think they could just copy Sony and do all three, though.

The Nikon 1 line is far from moribund. What makes you think that it is?
The 1" sensor is ever increasing in popularity, and now that Nikon is using Sony BSI sensors in it, their forethought in seeing the scope for a 1" IL system will be more than repaid.

It's difficult to see what is the big advantage of a mirrorless system using the F mount over a DSLR using the F mount. Or put it the other way, using the F mount would negate most of the potential advantages of a mirrorless camera.
Here are some:
• EVF
• focus peaking
• focus magnification
• better PDAF
Size & weight are not the main advantages of mirrorless; if they still are (significant advantages) in the first place.

Can't we just use Live View? If it isn't well implemented in our current DSLR's, then fine tune the implementation to match that of a mirrorless system - we then have the best of both worlds.
Being able to zoom in to focus + focus peaking. I'm now using all my Nikon MF lenses on my A& for that reason.
What I would like to see would be a shorter registration "native mount" with an optional F mount adapter that had full automation.
It's really clunky compared to using my A7 and there is no EVF in live view.

Doesn't matter what sensor, look how many iterations it took to get ergo right on the v line. Can't imagine how many spins on dials, knobs and body shape it would take Nikon and then you got the focus module, screen, evf, display. Sony and the others are at it and learning and where is Nikon?
The A6300 and A7 are one iteration and a couple lens and a good grip/ battery away from luring me away.

That is why I said they should make it as responsive and workable as an EVF. You don't necessarily need an EVF if you have Live View, but you still have the option of using OVF - the best of both worlds.

No sensor into a mirrorless, I am too old for games.......... The D810, soon with a D500 and D5 will be good enough for me to live out my remaining years....... ;-)
Unless..... unless, a D820, a D510 or D5s will come around in a few years........ ;-)
Best to all, AIK

It would make sense for there to be an EVF connector on the DSLR, which can be used when the mirror's locked up in LV mode.
That would pretty much be the FE mount.
I just think it would confuse the current Nikon range, which has a definite market. I think that there are reasons why both Nikon and Canon don't want to follow Sony, they clearly both have the technological capability had they wanted.

Those are all advantages of the EVF (you can do them on current Nikons, just on the LCD).
Not strictly true, better in some respects, not as good in others, still it can also happen in a DSLR as Canon is showing. The 1D XII has dual pixel AF.
Looks like if Nikon put in a dual pixel sensor and EVF connector you could have the best of both worlds, if not the size and weight.
If they made the LV as good as my A7, I could see it. Right now, it's not even close.That is why I said they should make it as responsive and workable as an EVF. You don't necessarily need an EVF if you have Live View, but you still have the option of using OVF - the best of both worlds.
If you had ever shot with a Sony A7 vs using LV on a nikon, you would understand how clunky LV is. And I wasn't aware nikon LV has focus peaking? I would love to be wrong on that one.
