Nikon Rumors reports that Japanese camera site, digicame-info posted specs of the new Nikon D800 on their site on September 29. Nikon rumours was hesitant to post the information until they received additional information about the camera. They are now confident that the new Nikon will be called the D800 and will include a 36MP sensor.
The D800 is also rumoured to shoot 1080p video at 30fps, shoot 4fps bursts, sport a larger LCD display, and support both SD and CF cards. Nikon rumours says that they cannot confirm the rest of specs on the Japanese site. The Nikon D800 is expected to put a $US4000 hole in your bank account. That’s about $US111 a megapixel.

Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 9:01 AMSorry to say, but 36MP doesn’t mean a thing unless there are improvements with the camera’s sensor. (Either larger in size or better technology) this is where the price comes in to play so as to include the technology to utilize the all 36MP.
