D800s rumors... Me Likey!

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.

OMG I just lost interest in everything else I HAVE TO GET THAT CAMERA IF THATS TRUE !!!! :mrgreen:

Not a real flipscreen like the D5100 though. :( Thats even better ! You can see the picture from the sides, too !

Man o man! I like this bit best:
  • The new camera will be lighter (compared to the D800/D800E)
The E can be very tiring for a while without a tripod....:confused:
 
Thom Hogan mentioned that sRAW is a cooked, 11-bit maximum bit depth raw format, and not the 14-bit RAW the high-end Nikons have been able to shoot for years now...
 
Just picked up the d800 so glad to see the specs aren't vastly different. Also I don't mind the weight of the d800 and wonder what lighter means for over all build quality.

Improved video is interesting wondering if its due to hardware or simple software driver hacks that can be done on the d800

I volunteer to preorder the D810 as soon as it becomes available... just so i can post some early comments/reviews to help the rest of you. I'll tell my wife its for the good of the internet!
 
Much better than D800s
Who cares about the name.

Thom Hogan mentioned that sRAW is a cooked, 11-bit maximum bit depth raw format, and not the 14-bit RAW the high-end Nikons have been able to shoot for years now...
Normal RAW will also be available, of course. I have no clue what sRAW is good for. But whatever.
 
Don't take these rumors too seriously it is just fun speculation.
