Monsieur le Roi du théâtre dave,
"These cameras are supposed to be professional....the latest and the greatest.......aimed at pro shooters......an improvement over the DSLR........that means it requires a certain feature set............which it didn't get!"
Here's a great use of dots: Replace all ......... with "says who?" These two camera bodies are no more professional than D750, Sony a7, Fuji X-H1 as too much stuff simply is not pro grade. If you read reports from a first "meet and touch", like Nikon is doing lately, there are not much pros at this events. It's a first throw from nikon, and the times that DSLRs were soooo expensive that only pros and super rich amateurs could buy them are over.
It's not pro for the lens choice - standard zooms will come later and maybe we'll see a pro body withing the next two years.
And they are an improvement over DSLR. A new lens you just unbox, and old lens you just mount to the adapter and you're good to go. That IS a massive improvement! Manual focus in a view finder at 50% or 100% of the final picture: massive improvement! Silent shutter (even the mechanical one): massive improvement. 12bit? Check the specs, it's 14bit or 12 bit in RAW size M and S which makes sense as these sizes are meant to save diskspace.
I'm no ambassador, I'm not even a Nikon fanboy but I'm a bit allergic to this kind of always complaining, yet badly informed sort of ronchonnement. I will never recommend anybody to waste money on a first generation mirrorless, no matter how cool I find it. I'm curious, I had it already in my hands and tried a couple of things in short time and low light, and I will not skip my preorder, on the contrary I'm looking forward to it.
All these Mr. Know-it-alls I can live with, but that you continuously critisize thinsg which are apparetnly not as you took them from which sources ever, is a bit too hard not to disagree.
The publics response was firstly based o rumors rather than facts - you were also among them early concluders. A nerdy guy for who one slot is not enough for his wedding shooting and is too stupid to bring a second body can count on my condolences like "poor idiot, you're asking for troubles..."
Really there's an army of reliable two slot (one fast, one slow = two slows, when used as backup) bodies around. I just wait until one of these idiots files a lawsuit against "his" brand which dares to come up with only one slot.
