D850

paulr

They could call it a D888 I believe thats lucky for them, and I think Nikon need all the luck they can get , or maybe thats the Chinese who think that. But no rules to where it could be manufactured.

You guys won't let me live that why I bought Nikon D810a :P

I totally agree Pb PM which is why I bought another 810 for £1600 as whatever comes out is going to be expensive ( ie no profit in using it )
Interesting also is that the digits of 820 add up to 10 while 850 is 13 a japanese no no

Yeah well, if you turn the letters in the name "Nikon" into numbers:

N=14, I=9, K=11, O=15, N=14

And then alternately add and subtract them:

14+9-11+15-14

You end up with:

13

I guess Nikon was doomed from the start.

Too bad the written English word Nikon is translated from the Japaneses script ニコン to Latin script (romanization). So your calculations are way off.

D820 for the actual 100 aniversary on 25th ...the rumoured upgrade spec seems a bit pathetic unless of course its mirrorless.....

rmp

The rumored specs and the weight of a mirror-less: sounds great to me.

I am looking forward to whatever Nikon announces this month.

A mirrorless FX , 810 upgrade and a DF revamp as a minimum or they are going to look a bit stupid.

donaldejose

Mirrorless FX and D810 upgrade, yes. But they can drop the Df body type. Who would care? That body has no future, does it? If Nikon wants to get more mileage out of the D5 sensor don't you think they would just put it into a mirrorless body?

Lets just dump this 20 mp crap. Just not enough

donaldejose

Pistnbroke: I agree with you for your needs but not everyone has your particular needs. Let me point out three recent videos showing large prints made from 24mp sensors; one the Nikon D5600 DX sensor and one Sony A9 full frame sensor.

It seems like 24 mp is enough for many uses.

For over 10 years we had less than 20MP, and yet we survived somehow. I had a D800 and downgrade to the D750, because it had less MP (among other reasons). We get it, you like to take snap shots and crop later, if that's what you need to do to get the job done that's fine, but not everyone shoots that way.

I think I would like to pair my D500 with a D7200 for a DX kit and a D820 (54MP please) with a D5 for a FX kit. Will this happen? likely not. If they all were available I could not afford them any way. What is life without dreams?

PB-PM The Nikon D3X came out in December 2008 at 24.5MP It was the most expensive 35mm DSLR Nikon Made, and was the introduction to the high megapixel cameras.

Thanks for the history lesson, on things I already knew. As I said, for over ten years we had digital cameras with less than 12MP and yet we survived. There is no lack of truth in the statement, regardless of brand, or camera type. We also survived with film, low resolution scanners and prints.

My point was not that more megapixels is bad, but that no matter what the D820's pixel count turns out to be, nobody will die as a result.

Pistnbroke

I dont do snapshots ,I leave that to the guests ..everything I do is carefully arranged with my mouth...BUT there is often a picture within a picture or a different crop b/w variant. The Sam 14mm often gets heavily cropped..boy is that mother sharp. Used the 7100 for years but there is an edge in using the 810 and its quieter.

paulr

Not really a history lesson PB-PM I had a D3X and it was a great camera. However with a high retail price, it was camera which had a very high depreciation factor similar to medium Format cameras. The D810 was one the best value for money cameras Nikon made even at one time retailers in the UK were selling at just over £1400 00. I hope Nikon price the new model at a sensible retail price at under £3000 00 in view of the rumoured limited upgrade spec which will follow.

On my V3, I limit the high ISO to 800 because above that the noise gives me problems. On my D4, I have never had an occasion to shoot with ISO above 25,000, so I do not know what its limit (for me) will be.

On my D810, I have never had an occasion to shoot with ISO above 1000. So, I do not know what its noise limit will be. Does anyone have any experience with the D810 where noise became a problem?

donaldejose

Since the D3x was mentioned. Want to buy an expensive camera at a great discount? Look on e-bay for a D3x. They originally sold for about $8,000 and now one with less than 6,000 shutter actuations can be bought for about $1,800. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nikon-D3X-24-5-MP-Digital-SLR-Camera-Ultra-Low-Shutter-Count-6K-USA-Model-/263074418498?hash=item3d40750f42:g:~aAAAOSwLsBZXeEV I would be interested in having one as a collectors item since it was the first Nikon "high megapixel" camera and should last a long, long time. However, I have read it was noisy above about 800 ISO and think you get far more useful modern technology by putting that $1,800 into a D7500, D5 or D750. Still, an $8,000 Nikon for only $1,800 with less than 6k on the shutter is tempting . . .

The D3X wasn't renown for its hi-ISO performance, it was more of a studio camera. I'd have a D4s if one came up cheap, but they don't unfortunately.

paulr

I loved my D3X but technology moves on. The D810 just represents such good value for money. Regardless of spec the D8xxx I hope, will remain the same. value for money.

Pistnbroke

I just hope the birthday boy ( nikon) gets more than one present on the 25th july because an 820 unless its mirrorless or a hoax to cover better things will not cut it. I just hope its not a birthday year and we wait month after month for something good.

Seriously the whole "mirrorless" thing isn't ready for professional primetime regardless of the Sony A9 hype.

If you really need 20 FPS shoot video. 1/32000 of a second shutter speed? The luge image on their website was dark and badly shot.

I didn't see a single image on their site that couldn't be shot with a D5 (and frankly they need much better images than the ones they have). Other than that no problem.

Once the initial "shine" wears off, people will figure out that the viewfinder dynamic range, resolution and frame rate are about half of what you need.

In 2 or 3 years it might evolve into something usable. Of course conventional DSLR technology isn't going to standstill while they sort it out..

Yes it confirmed we wait month after month for the birthday presents which will be released throughout 2017/18
