Are we expecting one camera to do everything? This is a camera with a certain target buyer in mind. It doesn't need to do everything.
I went through the same process when the Canon 7D2 came out. To me, falling in the intended target zone, it was like Christmas. To the gadget/feature crowd, they were asking where everything was, totally missing the point. That's not to say I wouldn't say no to more stuff, but at the end of the day I'd rather it do one job well, than for them to cram in many functions and do a bit of everything not so well.

Quote:Wow, that is cheap. Thanks.
I have always been annoyed at just how expensive the MC-36A is.
I have both the MC-36A as well as a cheap Chinese clone. I can't comment on low temperatures, unfortunately, but I have used both successfully in high temperatures (time-lapse shooting on a 35° day, on a flat roof).
The MC-36 can sometimes be purchased used on eBay for a little more reasonable prices than new ones.

Legality. If it is longer than 30 second it is classified as a video camera and import costs are much higher....
Quote:In 2016 is there a sensible reason why top-end cameras are still limited to 30 seconds?
I want to be able to dial in say 10 minutes, go for a coffee/walk whatever and come back whenever.
I like the 20MP, however. Good compromise between low-light and enough pixels.

The limit is not 30 seconds Don't confuse seconds with minutes.

It also has nothing to do with "legality" - it's just higher import fee.

There's a report of one of the prototype "test drivers" - stunning: http://oleliodden.com/photo-gear/field-r...-nikon-d5/

What better proof is there of a camera's capabilities than the images it produces?
There are some truly astounding images here!
