On August 23, 2018, Nikon will unveil their new full frame mirrorless system and lens mount.
The Rumored Specifications via Nikon Rumors:
- Two Nikon full-frame mirrorless cameras expected: one with 24-25MP and one with 45MP (48MP is also a possibility, previously reported in October last year).
- BSI sensors (supposed to be new gen/tech with advanced AF).
- 5-axis in-body stabilization
- 9fps
- Memory cards: XQD and CF Express (ProGrade is coming with a CF Express card).
- EVF resolution: 3.6MP (I am not sure if this is MP or million dots).
- Very good video AF features.
- Video AF could be different for the two mirrorless models (the cheaper version may have less AF goodies).
- AF tracking ability of the 45MP version on par or better compared to the current Sony A7 models.
- Over 400 AF points, not sure about the exact number, it should be somewhere between 430-450. The AF is supposed to be very fast.
- The rear LCD screen is tiltable just like the Nikon D850.
- I see 8K listed in the technical specifications, but it is hard for me to get the translation right – I don't think it's for video, maybe it is for 8K time-lapse just like the D850?
- 4K video.
Nikon Rumors reports that we'll be seeing four more of these teaser videos before the camera system launches.

All we know is that it has a thinner mount and that FX lenses are compatible. Because that's all Nikon wants us to know.

I am one who prefers tilt screens - I like the screen to be moving within the lines of the camera.
Not all FX lenses. Only 'E' lenses.
Nikon’s lens compatibility chart will look something like this...
YET
They are doing it. Which means they, too, may have the marketing info to show that only launching a full FX mount body might be DOA.

You have three great full-frame all-rounder and one excellent APS-C all-rounder. Altogether four great digital cameras. Don't mean to hurt your feelings, but why the hell on Earth do you need more?
Did you intend to upload just a thumbnail? Or have I missed something?
I get somewhat fed up with those who indulge in a serious number of very expensive bodies from a variety of manufacturers and then whinge. It seems you have a serious case of gas. Most of us can afford only a limited investment in gear and those of us who are lucky to have spare cash carry on with getting the best out of our equipment rather than chasing after small advantages elsewhere.
Canon already announced their new all electronic "mount of the future" back in 1987.
