What is your Nikon D6 wish list? Brad Hill posted his (see also the rumored D6 specs): 1. Weight: A reduction! I'd like to see the 1415 gm (3.12 lb) D5 trimmed down by about 250 gm (about 0.5 lb) to make it about 1165 gm (2.57 lb). WHY? Hey...almost all lenses are getting lighter, why shouldn't the D6 get lighter? And we ALL are getting older (will ANY young people buy a D6?). Of course, I wouldn't want a weight reduction if it impacted negatively on camera durability, but I don't think it would have to. And, I do know a significant number of serious wildlife photographers who have passed on buying a D5 owing to its weight. What I expect: No weight reduction. Damn! 2. Resolution: 30 MP. Given technological advances it SHOULD be possible for Nikon to produce a 30 MP flagship without compromising ISO performance, frame rate, or burst depth. WHY? Even though I preferentially shoot animalscapes and landscapes with my Z7, there are times when I want to do it with what's in my hands (which is often a D5/D6) and in these cases I would like more resolution. And, while I TRY to shoot compositions that work full-frame, going to 30 MP will allow more "cropability" than a lower resolution will. What I expect: 24 MP. 3. ISO Performance: Status Quo (no change). WHY? In this case the question should be "Why not BETTER ISO Performance?" And the answer is this: IF Nikon...
