the best camera the money can buy is just around the corner guys this camera is so great I take it where ever I go !!!
Here is a little bit of the info I could find …Nikon D4- 15.7 MP sensor, improved 1 EV, full 30 fps HD video
capabilities. it took nikon 18 months to release the d3x and d3 model so it would be reasonable they will
release the D4 during the second quarter of 2010. So logical that it
might turn out as a result of accurate calculations made by a Nikon fan.and nikon fans made a great and accurate statement that this will be the next move from nikon.
Looks like the nikon d4 is coming out, but later in 2010, not to interfere with other D3 releases.
"Initial Information I received from a senior Nikon position in
the USA, that Nikon D4 is already under primary field trial .FF sensor
with 18 million pixels, Full HD-quality video as in Canon.
Frame Rate Of 10 images per second, 102,400 Asa quality similar to what
today is Asa 25,600 in Nikon D3S. Improving the quality of the existing
D3s by two stops.
Most important information: a completely new Autofocus sensor that will
enable outstanding autofocus performance. From what I understand, this
is a real breakthrough Technology."
An 18MP D4 would wound the D3x without really replacing it.
I think it more likely that if the rumor is true, that this is a D4 prototype and not an indication of what we are going to see in production.
If the ISO drawing are true they are incredible. But if they can do that at 18MP they can easily attain a 24MP sensor that gives an extra stop on the D3s. I can’t see why Nikon would want to mess about with two flagship models 24MP or less if they could produce one that is threefold the resolution of the D3s and four ISO stops meliorate than the D3x.
I guess that it is possible that sales of flagship bodies are so good that Nikon could consider launching an 18MP and 36 MP together. But I think it more likely that if those ISO drawing are right, they would go for a 24MP body on introduction and then blow everyone absent with a 50MP x version a year later.
50MP is considered equivalent to medium frame film. It would be a breakthrough accomplishment. 36 MP would be a not quite accomplishment. I don’t think Nikon needs to go there. Beyond 50MP the lenses will be an issue.
