As more details of the Nikons keep piling in it is clear that there are many shortfalls with both models, some remediable in the way of FWs and some, that are inherent mechanical hardware limitations, that aren't.
The S6 is Nikon's ML answer to the D750........the 6.5 fps....... 14 bit..... twin slot SD........screen tilting 51 AF point lightest weight FF DSLR body... -4 EV low light AF...... that's now more than three years old.

Now it is way behind in terms of shooting speed......but wait..... reading between the available information.......it seems that the S6 is only 12 bit.......and wait again.....if you want continuous exposure in fast shooting you have to drop down to 5.5 fps. True, the AF coverage leaves the D750 is the dust, but it's not all good news, with the Northrups having all sorts of AF misses, far beyond anything seen on DSLRs.
So where are the ML advantages there? Do we just have to look out to it's video performance to enjoy any benefits?

It seems that the battery life will be much better than the quoted 330 shots (thank God) but it still won't match the D750 with it's OVF...... for my style of shooting I can spend hours looking through the VF and AFing constantly which gives much lower battery life........how will things go with ML?


There will be a string of models before Nikon catch Sony!
