What a huge suprise! It seems like the rumor that just sounded insane has come true!
1. D3
- 100% frame coverage
- 12.3 Megapixel FF CMOS sensor
- New image processor called EXPEED that will provide better AF, AE, AWB
- 9 fps for FF, 11 fps for crop
- 3 Inch VGA LCD (4 times more resolution than current LCDs)
- Weather Proof
- 51 AF points, 19 cross sensor AF points.
- ISO 200-6400. Supports 100, 25600!
2. D300
- 100% frame coverage
- 12 Megapixel Sony CMOs
- Weather Proof
- 3 Inch VGA LCD (4 times more resolution than current LCDs)
- 51 AF points, 19 cross sensor AF points.
- 6 fps, 8 fps with vertical grip attached
3. Lenses
AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED
AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8G ED VR
AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/4.0G ED VR
AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4.0G ED VR
Both feature:
* New Canon's picture style-like in-camera image processing called Picture Control System
* HDMI port
* Supports AF when using Live-View. Not only that it supports Contrast detection AF system, thus far better than that of Olympus and Canon.
* More detailed news will be announced within a few hours. I'll also update specs at any given time. Stay tuned!
# Updated:
Nikon developed 4 FF sensor line-ups:
1200 Megapixel
1600 Megapixel
2200 Megapixel
2400 Megapixel
Now, it's a huge deal and kudos for Nikon for finally and succesfully developing their own sensors(Unlike LBCAST that failed.) Once they take this step further and start actually manufacturing sensors in their own factory, Nikon will be able to play the game far better.
(Although it's not clear at this point, rumor has it that those sensors are being made in Sony's lab)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My 2 cents:
At first, this rumor just sounded insane but then again, considering how Nikon has been trying hard to recapture the market, it sounded somewhat reasonable especially so cosidering D200.
Even so, the above spec. is just too good to be true yet it's true. Not only Nikon has come out with FF camera that many desired, the one camera(D3) is a killer
for both of Canon's 1D mk3 and 1DS mk3. Now, Canon, the market leader, is facing a serious challenge. No longer Canon will be able to play the game the way they played;
Canon will have to take it seriously and beef up their specs.
