It has 51 auto focus points (though Nikon could of easily have doubled that using technology from the J1-V1 series), 15 of those points ar cross focus though so you do gain a substantil amount of accuracy with them. Tucked away deep inside the camera is something incredible…the shutter. Carbon fibre and Kevlar combination shutter means a half life of 200,000 (atested) actuations, which in all means you can get 400,000 and up actuations from this already formidable light sucking machine. That would calculate to 100 shots a day for the next 11 years! Frame rates are slow this is true but consider the amount of data it has to crunch. Having the opportunity to drop down its sensor format means that you can run the FX sensor as a DX sensor and pick up an extra 1fps = 5fps and 6fps with the...
