Nikon D4 and D400 in August, D700 replacement still in the air
By [NR] admin | Published: June 27, 2011

The big announcement in August will be for a new Nikon D4 and D400 DSLR cameras. The Nikon D700 replacement will probably be announced at a later date, maybe even in 2012. I know that this is not the news most of you want to hear, but it actually makes perfect sense because the Nikon D3 was announced together with the D300 back in August of 2007. Nikon is a very methodical company and if the D3 and D300 pro level DSLRs are on a 4 years life cycle, the D700 should be replaced in 2012 since it was announced in 2008. Nikon also likes to announce higher end models before using the same tech in a low end versions (for example 12MP DX sensor in D300->D90, 16.2MP DX sensor in D7000->D5100, 12MP FX sensor D3->D700), so don’t expect the Nikon D700 replacement to come out with a better technology before the D4. The D300s replacement will probably use the new 24MP sensor from Sony which further confirms this rule.

Another question here is: does the “S” update count as a replacement? The D3 and the D300 were “replaced” by the D3s and D300s but for the most part those were just minor updates. The D3s and D300s were announced in 2009, approximately two years after the D3/D300. There was never a D700s. Maybe there is still a possibility for a deviation of the D700 this year (let’s say D700s: D3s sensor + video), but my source was clear that the “real” D700 replacement will come out in 2012.

幾多銀兩???

Do you know what is it mean by rumors?

好似係d900,唔係d400

D900 - 有D3x塊24M唔出D700x出D900, 唔多信, 呢部如果都用D4既CMOS, 應該係D800~

if possible最早xmas買D400; 如果xmas前公佈但xmas後先有貨, 我可以等下; 但如果xmas前唔公佈落實D400, 買D7000算, 慳返玩菲林, 4年後再睇D500~

最唔正常嘅地方喺“D900”如果喺D700後繼，點解會用SD卡而唔喺CF?
FF + 1800萬像素 要抄落SD卡真喺冇咩可能

Sdxc行得ok快喎

Sdxc行得ok快喎
-----------------------
Right... I thought it was normal SD card.
But in this case is even more not realistic to use SDXC?
Price and config support for normal card reader and PC may also have to upgrade too.....I really could prefer it stay as CF card for now....

現在DC仔都千幾萬像素啦,咪又係用SD

[kingkonghk]

係喎, nex都千4萬, 插sd咋喎, 我影raw+jpeg都可接受, 淨影jpeg都好快下

[FreeMiLk]

你知唔知ff 個raw大 apsc幾多？
比完先講野。

[kingkonghk]

好似唔關SENSOR大細事, 關像素事多D, 其次就係每間廠商壓縮方法

[FreeMiLk]

係關bits數問題，FF 14bits d700 一秒基本5張。
D300 14bits 只得3張，12bits 先5張。
俾你class 10 sdhc 抄得最快 10MB 一秒。你自己research 下就知市面上話自己達30mb 速度都只係講跟出唔係入。 一張 jpg + raw 差唔多25-30mb. 你自己計下數就知咩事。
