Hi Serkan,
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='

Kind regards, WIm

Hi Wim,
The adapter must be able to adapt itself to the new register distance then (e.g. to avoid infinity focusing problems). Isn't it so?... Anyway, the main concern here is to be able to use the existing F-mount lenses without any (or with minor) additional costs.
Regarding high ISO race: D3X also holds the crown in price race concerning the FF DSLRs... 5D MK-II at this price with the given ISO performance is much more competitive.
Best regards,
Serkan
