Supposed
pictures of the upcoming Nikon
D800 have been leaked to NikonRumors, and show the camera is slightly
smaller than its predecessor, the Nikon D700.
The D800 has been anticipated for release from Nikon
for several months, with several rumours circulating that the recent floods in
Thailand have pushed back the official announcement date.
Specs have been emerging from the upcoming camera for
several months now, with the new pictures revealing little that wasn't already
known. A 36 million pixel sensor is thought to be on board, along with 4fps continuous
shooting and full HD video recording in 30p.
If reports are to believed, the Nikon D800 has been extremely unlucky in coming
to the market, first affected by the Japanese earthquake and recently affected
by the Thailand floods.
Nikon has one of its key factories in the affected
area of Thailand, and has
suffered profit losses as a result of the damage caused.
Key specs
Other specs of the D800 include a larger
display, dual Compact Flash and SD card memory slots, an autofocus system
identical to the D3 and D700 and a sensitivity range of 100-6400, expandable
down to ISO 50 and up to ISO HI-2 at 25,600.
Smaller and lighter than D700,Resolution:
7360×4912 (36MP),CF+SD memory card slots,Slightly larger display,Excellent
video quality, better than D3s ,Video modes: 1080p/30/25/24 and
720p/60/30/25/24 ,AF identical to D3/D700
Some reports have also suggested that there will be two versions
of the D800, one with the anti-aliasing filter removed. It seems likely however
that even if this were true, they would share the same body construction and
shape.

D800 as it emerges.
