Nikon D800 and PRO mirrorless in March/April of 2011




Nikon D800 and PRO mirrorless in March/April of 2011. D700 replacement is coming in March or April with 16-18 MP sensor and costs of around $2000. Another Nikon D800 rumor from a Chinese forum has the same date – March of 2011.


According to the forum member, D800 pre-order procedure for dealers in China has already started. The specs:

18mp sensor
98% preview
full HD
AF module will be updated
Body flash will be removed
The looks of D800 is nearly the same as D700
Released in March 0f 2011
I also received several reports that the Nikon D700 is not available for orders in some countries.


Another rumor is that Nikon will release a “PRO” level mirrorless camera in April based on a 16MP or 24MP Sony sensor. The initial report was for a potential release in March. Nikon has been keeping their mirrorless plans closely guarded and the filed patents were the only real hints we had in the past few months. If true, this will be the real surprise Nikon has been talking about for a while.

Thom Hogan also mentioned that Nikon will run an advertising campaign for a new camera (probably mirrorless) in newspapers and magazines starting in April. There are even some speculations that Nikon and Fuji might be working together on the x100 camera and Nikon may release a similar model.
