nikon new year

[ljplicease]

Rumor about the Nikon pro level camera replacement (commonly referred to its probable product name “D4”) popped up today on the usually reliable nikonrumors.com. The D800 (which will be Nikon's replacement for the D700, which I own) is expected to be announced at about the same time, probably early next year. I jokingly told Lena that she might inherit my D700 if the D4 specs are sufficiently drool worthy. The differences between the rumored D4 and D800 seem to be more significant than the differences between their predecessors the D3s and D700, as Nikon attempts to differentiate the two lines. The D800 will have a higher megapixel sensor aimed at gear heads who think that is important whereas the D4 will have high fps and low light capability which professional photographers appreciate.
