D4: 6000, AF @ F/8 and ships february
At the moment all I can see are rumors. If D4 might be announced tomorrow, reality looks easy for me. Canon announced a new Flaggship 8 Weeks ago. Nikon hurried to copy all those specs as good as they could 16MP instead of 18, no AF improvement, D3s ISO (there is a french magazins introduction rumored few hours ago) 1FPS less and priced it at about 800 less (first time I remember) of its competitors announcement and offers 1 month earlier delivery.
One just have to watch that body design to see, it was scratchbuild in hurry.
If specs came out as truth, Nikon had to offer a lower price because of standard AF (as good it might be, I would bet Canon does not create the 1D III disaster a second time - the new AF will be market leader) and even at an lower resolution two stops less ISO (if that french mags data does not turn out as wrong).
That\'s right. Nikon only started designing D4 after 1D X was announced and it\'s already ready for shipping. Pure genius those Nikon engineers.
No. They are not ready jet. Rumors promised shipping for february, right? So they still have a few weeks. All together that makes 4 month after 1DX announcement. That is enough to put together the old stuff they had in their cuboards since tree years.
