A few interesting lines in the "update":

 

• Standard F-mount
  
• Pentaprism viewfinder (meaning the camera will not be mirrorless)
  
• Nikon calls it a "hybrid" camera - not sure what exactly they mean with that
  

 

Anyone care to speculate what that means? If not a conventional DSLR, how about a (possibly) fixed mirror configuration, but with the mirrored image going to OVF. Possibly another semi-transparrent mirror to allow information overlay like the X100 & friends. Main sensor could do on-sensor phase AF as well as contrast.

 

The other configuration would be a copy of SLT which wouldn't be so interesting...

Maybe a dslr-type OVF/EVF hybrid? Then the mirror needs be rised up in the EVF mode. If so, then I think it's a brilliant idea, but I hope the CDAF will be much faster then that of a typical dslr (or there may even be PDAF sensors on the sensor).

According to update hybrid might refer, "The camera will meter even with non-AI lenses down to full aperture"

That then means they are coming with a Canon DSLR? Those meter with non-AI lenses.

....aaah they've seen the light at last then....thru an ovf no doubt.... but will they be using the new Canon sensors for that quality natural look (...and focus :-) too

They could also make use of the pre-AI coupling forks. _That_ would be retro.

I remember Nikon filed a patent for a hybrid viewfinder a few years ago.
