Snipped from the Hasselbladinfo news letter "According to one of the biggest German photo-magazine (Color Foto), Nikon will come out later this year with a newly designed lens mount. This new lens mount will be bigger to be able to use also a full-size chip appropriate. New lenses have to be designed too. They will be obviously bigger and heavier and according to Color Foto also significant more expensive :( Reflecting this, Nikon seems to go the same direction as Contax did it already a couple of years ago with its new N-System. Contax announced on the RG webpage the stop of the production of the ND. Although this is nothing special in the life cycle of digital cameras after 12 months on the market, it confused many costumers, since there was no further communication from Contax to them. Contax also refused to give hints/information about new Contax ND-models, but it is obvious, that there will be new models in the future."
It does seem that DigiCams are now becoming "One Production Run" items as the products are evolving so quickly and despite manufacturers like Nikon wishing to retain loyal customers by being backwardly compatible they are having to change their philosophy in order to keep up with the incoming Tide.
