Ready for the D4S / or D4X ( maybe the D400 ) 3rd week JAN 2014 ;)


SSD is coming.... before end of this decade. :cool: ( back up won't need laptop or powered device - it will back up into another compact device that will plug in to the side... think a thumb drive on steroids. )

The comments on the 2.5" Hard Disk thing.... its made that way cause of industry norms requiring laptop bays to slot this in. ( It can and will be shrunk in size.... e.g. the same as in your 128GB iPhones. )
Plug in? I tot NFC already implemented for recent camera model?
 

D800 for sports? LOL.... how many frame per sec could D800 do? ha ha ah

4fps on fx, 6fps on dx + battery grip + D4/ 8x AA batteries.. I believe there's must not be a certain cam to shoot sports. Any cam can achieve as long you are able to catch that particular freezing moment.

There are some CSers shot sports with the D800.. it's lying around somewhere in the d800/e user thread with their sample images.

For shooting sports, I am more confident to shoot with D4 or D3 or D3s lah.
Or D700 + MB-D10 battery grip + extra battery inside to boost its speed to 8 fps (FX).
 

:bigeyes:
Do you know that the price of XQD is more expensive then Sandisk CF Extreme Pro ?
If there was a camera with 4x XQD slots, would you buy 4x XQD memory cards and put them all into the slot ?

Yeah, I would.
 

D4 replacement may be spotted at the winter Olympics... look out ;) ;)

Expect : The same 16MP sensor, more fps rate, better AF, better ISO.... and sighhh - better video cause we all need it. :/

May have a tweaked processor..... Yes it will topple the DF for noise and low light. ( ISO king returns. )

:bigeyes: There is only one King, it is King Df.
If D4 replacement is made better than Df in term of noise and low light, how ? :dunno:

No longer a rumor. Nikon announced that the Nikon D4s is in the making.

Nikon announces development of D4S professional 'HD-SLR':

At the release of Df the writing is on the wall for D4s, especially if you consider what impact D700 had on D3 and how quickly D3s was needed. So 4 years for Df in the making was really not that but once the decision to use the D4 sensor is made the Df had to wait until D4s is ready for launch to minimize the leak from D4, i.e. those who do not need the high fps, AF speed but desire the sensor performance may be lured back to D4s. Those who have to go Df Nikon let them, not before they have a chance to considered D4s.

I am fully aware of this when I got my Df so it does not bother me. Half price of D4 or mini D4 is good enough for me.

And Nikon Df is so much lighter too...
 

D4s looks like a significant advancement from D4 basing on the statement given.

Nothing that will push me to get the D4S over my current D4... I'm still waiting to see if D4S will incorporate the XQD or CF/SD.

Hurhur.
 

So I can conclude that there isn't a D4X in Nikon's next offering?

To me that does not sound right. 32MP or 40MP or 50MP in a D4 shell should be on its way in 1-2 years. Right now we want the D4 price to come down :-)
 

It would probably make its debut sometime before the World Cup in June. Those sports photographers would have a first crack at its performance and the accolade would be shown and televised worldwide. No better timing when the world is glued to their feet for 30 days.
 

In 1-2 years time, whatever it is will probably not have a D4 shell anymore.
 

Pictures are out!
