Nikon's Hybrid Focus Leaves Photographers Wanting

The author, a long-time Nikon user, believes the company has forgotten the dedicated photographer by focusing heavily on hybrid cameras that cater to video, vlogging, and content creation. While acknowledging the market shift and Nikon's video ambitions, including the acquisition of RED, the author desires a camera solely optimized for still photography. The Nikon Z f is seen as a close attempt with its retro design but still includes extensive video features. In contrast, Leica is praised for its disciplined approach, with models like the M10 offering a pure photographic experience without video capabilities.
