Another full frame DSLR on the horizon

[Deneys]

On several occasions in the past, Nikon representatives mentioned that the D800 is not the replacement of the D700 but “a whole new category of camera”. There are rumors of a new, cheaper full frame DSLR camera from Nikon that will be called D600. Here are the preliminary specs:

• Unknown MP count at that point
• The new camera will be marketed as an entry level full frame camera
• Auto DX crop mode
• Dual SD card slots
• In-camera RAW editor
• Built in time-lapse functionality
• There will be no build-in HDR feature
• Possible integrated GPS
• New external battery grip
• To be released this summer

As usual, information about products that will be released several months in the future are not very reliable, so I would rate this rumors at 40% probability for now. If this turns out to be true, it will change the whole dynamic in the Nikon product line - maybe we will end up with three DX models D3x00, D5x00 and a high end D7x00 (all with 4 digits names) and the rest will be full frame cameras - D600, D800, D4 (with 1 and 3 digits names). I still believe that Nikon will release

Just maybe Ill be able to afford that FX I always wanted

That D600 will have to be seriously down-specced, as it'll have to be priced well below the D800, otherwise everybody will just buy a D800 (If they can find one tsk tsk). It will have nowhere close to the MP count of the D800, and it will probably only do 4fps. This will however be a nice gap-filler between FX and DX.



I still want a D400.

if true, it will be interesting to see the specs and pricing. As you say it will have to be well below the D800

Well, with a D3200 coming in at 24mp and a D5200 expected at, at least that... where will they have to pitch a D400/D600?

[Dodging]

I'm guessing 24mp for both of 'em...

Quite honestly I'd be happy with a D400 that has only 16MP... But a buffer the size of the Australian outback and something like 9fps. I'm not asking for much eh?

JUST GIMME MY D400 DAMMIT!!!!!

After all, Canon had a good spell with everything going at 18mp and above
