Re: Nikon D800 36mp $4,000 rumor
It sounds plausible enough It sounds like a plausible enough rumor to me. I recently read a preview of the NEX7 no Luminous Landscape and the author of the review suggested for low ISOs at least, it was close to the 24MP full frame sensor used in the D3X and the Sony full frame cameras. The pushing of the envelope that… -
Re: Nikon D800 36mp $4,000 rumor
I'm still holding out for the D300 replacement assuming it gets released this year. My concern is that it's been in the rumor mill since about 2008 and I'm starting to wonder if the D7000 is in fact that replacement. if the D300 was 16mp I'd jump all over it, I want more than 12 but less than the behemoth 36 which is right… -
Re: Nikon D800 36mp $4,000 rumor
Not only will the 5D mk3 have "just" 22 megapixels, but it will also have an mRAW mode somewhere around 11-12 megapixels, which is even more useful for the run-and-gun types of wedding etc. photojournalists. If Canon can suck it up and put the new flagship AF into the camera at $2700, they'll have a HUGE "win" over Nikon,… -
Re: Nikon D800 36mp $4,000 rumor
So the D800 rumored has a small audience. Studio and landscapers are really the only target here and very few of them will drop that much $$ on this thing. The interesting point from this though is the 2nd mystery body that is supposed to be announced around the same time. The D400 being FF is an interesting concept. The… -

Megapixels; Less is more, more is less. That is applicable here. Who of us does print real large prints ? Is 20 inches at 240 DPI not enough, I think it is. So a 12-16Megapixel CMOS or CCD is more then enough. Unless you really want to blow-up pictures. The big drawback is the noise factor, the more pixels (sensor cells)… -
Re: Nikon D800 36mp $4,000 rumor
So basically, 36 megapixels full-frame would give us roughly the ISO and per-pixel resolving power of the D7000's sensor, just in a larger format. All I can say is, the EXPEED 3 image processor had better have quite a leap and a bound in it as far as ISO noise reduction goes, or I won't be buying a 36 MP D800 if it's got… -
Re: Nikon D800 36mp $4,000 rumor
Unfortunately, if you think about it we're headed in the 30+ direction one way or another. Canon already has two 21 megapixel full-frame cameras, and two (?) 18 megapixel crop-sensor cameras. Sony has two 24 megapixel cameras, Nikon's at 24, ...and most all of these cameras are 2-3 years old. Do we honestly think that… -
Re: Nikon D800 36mp $4,000 rumor
Oh, I totally agree. I'd take a D700s (with the D3s sensor, and dual card slots, NOTHING else - not even video) ...and I'd be totally in heaven! Heck, I'd settle for an easing of supply VS demand on the D700 as it is; if the used price dropped back down below $2K, I'd be happy. Unfortunately, I believe it was a Nikon… -
Re: Nikon D800 36mp $4,000 rumor
Certainly, but hard drives still cost money, and processing an image file 3x larger still takes time. Bottom line- Like I said, I wish that digital could be more like film, where you can just stick with the old classics in image "recording" as long as you want, without missing out on the latest in camera functionality /…
