Hi Serkan,

If this "(mirrorless) new concept" will be implemented in various models of Nikon bodies as upgrades, I'd like to see them all (as long as they support the F-mount, new bodies are wellcome)... OTOH I think this can also mean that Nikon leaves the battlefield "high ISO performance with high pixel density" to Canon and calls for another front line.

A mirrorless new concept likely has a much shorter register distance to the sensor, in order to create a much more compact body, and therefor the standard F-mount is not going to help. It'll be like adding an extension tube by defautl to the body, and thus making it much larger than it needs to be. As long as there is an adapter to go from the new mount to the F-mount, retaining all functionality of the old mount, there shouldn't eb a problem. Peopel can reuse their F-nount lenses, and still use more compact ones specifically designed for such a system.
I doubt whether Nikon will leave the high iso, high pixel density race to Canon, because there are actually real gains to be made from this race anyway, and besides that Nikon is holding the crown currently with their D3X anyway. I doubt whether Nikon would like to relinquish that position for any lengthy period of time at all <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
