p.1 #1 · Nikon D800

So here is the link to the (Google translated) press release from Brazil on Nikon Rumors:

http://nikonrumors.com/2012/02/06/nikon-d800-press-release.aspx/#more-32762

As expected, 36MP, top flight 1080p video, face recognition, 200,000 cycle shutter, 100% viewfinder...

Looks like a beast for studio and landscape photographers. The 36MP, dual (CF and SD) card slots, and new batteries and battery grip mean that I am now in the market for a pair of lovingly cared for D3s's...

I'm in for the D800. I've been waiting a long time for it.

36 mp would be so dumb for wedding shooters. I wonder what sRAW would be?

NIkon doesn't have sRAW. So that's a problem.

36MP is just insane for anything but commercial print use.

Haha... from the translated press release: "It is ideal for situations where you can not compromise the fidelity, such as weddings, photo studio and record landscapes."

I guess if you don't have 36mp, you must be compromising fidelity

Wow. So the camera is really a no go for wedding shooters then?

It isn't ideal.

I'd bet that lots of wedding shooters will be shopping used D3s's or saving up for a D4. I know that I will. I'm willing to compromise a little fidelity

Let's put this in perspective... we're relying on Nikon Rumors's reading tea leaves written in a foreign language.

In any case, both of my D700 are still working.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for getting it right in camera, but why not treat 36mp as a tool like we use the RAW format? I don't see why it can't be a safety net despite most printers only print to 300 dpi.

So happy I got a D3s last year and didn't wait for this or the D4.

Between film + the D3s I won't be buying another camera for years and years and years.

Could be an interesting option for shooting commercial work. Interesting. Will have to keep eyes peeled for reviews.

Prediction: if 36mp is true then Nikon WILL have SRAW ... And it will have optimal, usable sizes, not some silly 10mp

hope it has a 'small file' setting

at the $3,000 price point it's quite competitive given the price of the D3x
