NIKON D800 IS COMING.

THE LONG WAITING SEEMED TO PAY OFF.

Nikon D800?

October 5, 2011.
So far, these are just rumors, but they are becoming increasingly clear. Nikon's new professional DSLR is emerging from the fogs, a machine, designed to replace the excellent D700. And as the launch period for new models lengthens, it is estimated, that the new model should remain on the market for at least five years, rather longer. Its parameters also correspond to this (because video in professional DSLRs bothers me, I don't mention these).


WHAT IS PRACTICALLY SURE:
WHAT IS HIGHLY POSSIBLE:

Of course, most discussions are about sensor resolution. It is assumed, that its design and technical solution will be from Nikon and Sony will take over the production, ie the same model as, for example, the D3x. Sony now produces for some of its mirrorless models small, due to the dimensions and resolution high-quality sensors, the density of which, when increased to FX format, we get about 37.5 Mpx. Resolution should therefore not be a problem, especially if we remember, how better the sensor in the D3x worked compared to the Sony A900 (lower noise, better dynamic range etc.)

There are also concerns about the diffraction of existing lenses even with small apertures, but I wouldn't be afraid of that either. If anyone remembers the Lens Reviews on dpreview.com, when the Nyquist frequency limit was still marked in them, perhaps they will also remember, how much the new lenses exceeded this limit on the D3x as well. Of course, with such a "hungry" sensor they will hardly reach it, hence the logic for the model without AA filter. If Nikon really decides to do this, it will be a disaster for my wallet, because, like most photographers, I will find use for both models, with and without AA filter ...
