Nikon D800 Rumor

Nikon D800 Rumor. A replacement to the popular 12MP Nikon D700 is certainly overdue. Although the full-frame Nikon D700 remains the camera of choice for Nikon's legion of prosumer photographers, since its launch in 2008 it has been progressively overshadowed by its competitors. Cameras like the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Sony's Alpha A850 offer higher resolution sensors and (in the case of the Canon 5D II) significantly more advanced feature sets.


Expect Nikon to respond to the threat of the as-yet-unreleased Canon 5D II successor, which means higher resolution, enhanced live view and – of course – the addition of a versatile movie mode. Our money is on the Nikon D800 having a 24MP sensor, adapted from the CMOS sensor of the professional Nikon D3X, and 1080p video.

Nikon D800 likely spec and features:

- 24-megapixel sensor
- EXPEED 2 image processing engine
- Enhanced Live View with full time AF
- 1080p video
- Full-time AF in video mode
- 2,016 RGB metering sensor
- 95% field of view videwfinder
- Full HD (1080p) video
- Sensitivity expandable to ISO 102, 400
- 8fps contiuous shooting
