Ok, now you just had to know there is no way Derrel is going to be able to pass that up.. I mean come on...

I got a laugh out of that statement!!! Do you mean they are normally correct on the prediction they make THE HOUR BEFORE the embargo is lifted? Or that at some point in their four to six "predictions" over a year or more, that one happens to be somewhat close to what is actually released? lol.

Whoop, there it is.. rotflmao

There was no mention of an articulating screen in the movie, yet the opening picture shows one. Also NR did not mention an articulating screen. That would be the one thing that might get me to upgrade my existing D800E. That was the one thing I was waiting for when the D7100 came out. I would have jumped on that and dumped my D7000 if it had an articulating screen. I have a little Canon point and shoot that has one and I found it to be extremely useful.

I'm personally not sure what i want in my next dslr. I'm just not all that impressed with what is out there right now.

If this is true (and NR normally is correct)... 5-6fps (even with grip) will move me to FX and make me forget about the D400/D7200.

PS. sorry for the double thread post... i have no idea how i did it

Me likey too

Like others, I am a bit underwhelmed, at least underwhelmed enough not to trade in my D800 for the D800s. Now... if I needed a new FX body, and did not have a D800 already, then I would be pretty excited. In a few more years, I'll be ready for a new D900 or so!

As someone waiting for the next iteration of the D800, I too am underwhelmed by these specs. Can I haz wifi?

Is it too much to ask that every pro DSLR should come with WiFi built in? I mean, this isn't 2004, after all. A WiFi card is about the size of a Sim card.

Nice to see what they have fixed on the D800. It would have been nice if the AF issue had been fixed before they released the first version, however.

Adorama and B & H are currently out of stock and have the D610's backordered. I am selling my DX and going FF. Just bought the 14-24 /f2.8 and the 70-200 VR II /2.8, so I need a full frame.

 

[ChadGayle]

Love the 70-200. And I'd be curious to know how much you get for the D7100, as I have one and have been thinking about selling it later in the summer.

Rumors: Nikon D800/D800E replacement coming in June | Nikon Rumors



Nikon will announce a new full frame DSLR camera this summer (I call it D800s, but the name could be different). As previously reported, the new camera will be based on the D800E (without AA filter) and will contain few small updates (similar to the D4->D4s refresh). Here is an updated list of specifications:




36MP sensor
No low pass (AA) filter (just like the D800E, this time Nikon will only introduce one model without the AA filter)
Improved software to suppress moiré
Expeed 4 imaging processor (they may call it Expeed 4a)
Higher resolution LCD screen
sRAW
4k video is unlikely
Same AF improvements like in the D4s
Improved low light capabilities: one stop better ISO performance
4 centre autofocus points
Built-in GPS
No Built-in Wi-Fi
5 fps (6fps with the MB-D12)
The new camera will be lighter (compared to the D800/D800E)
The price is expected to be higher than the D800E ($3,296.95)
The official announcement is expected for June (most likely at the end of June)

One stop better lowlight is REALLY REALLY VERY impressive, if its true. The improvement from the D3/D700 to the D3s/D4/D4s/D800/D600/D610/Df was about a half stop, tops ?

I cant see it though, since the D4s wasnt such a huge step, either. Thus would mean the D800 would have better High ISO than the D4s. Maybe they'll just give us native ISO 12800.

I'd say WiFi >> GPS. WiFi allows quick upload of photographic results, important for some pro shooters.

No 4K -> That camera is already outdated !!!

sRAW -> I'd say thats not exactly what one buys a D800 for, but whatever.

If I had a D800 or D800E already, I would probrably not upgrade, but as I am looking for upgrading from DX to FX, yes, the new D800s is a real contender for me (need to start saving $$ now). For me and myself only:

One stop better low light / Better native ISO settings --> amazing features, if confirmed.
AF improvements --> another very good news indeed.
Lighter the old predecessors --> this is always more than welcome!
GPS --> that's also great for me, once I travel a lot and would benefit a lot of the GPS labeling feature.
36MP --> love it, especially for being a 24MP DX user myself, and being used to it.
sRAW --> is a good addition to me, making it a more versatile and flexible camera. I guess it would be a 9MP sRAW file??
Expeed 4 processor --> I'm curious about it.
No AA filter / improved moiré software --> again, I'm curious about it as well.
Higher resolution LCD --> another plus for sure, but not essential.
5 fps --> another good add, but not so critical (I don't do sports and don't need more than that at all).
WiFi --> fun, but not key for me at all, so no WiFi means nothing for my style, as I would not use it.
4K --> I really don't care, as I do not do videos.

etc...

Agree... wouldn't rush out and trade mine in for this. If I need a new camera, I am stretching for the D4s if I can afford it at the time. For now, I am happy with my D800.
