Nikon D800s coming soon

Rumors are spreading about an update on the D800s this month. Probably similar updates as in the D4s. I love the D800E but, it could use speedier AF.

http://nikonrumors.com …ment-coming-in-june.aspx/

Specs:

36MP sensor
No AA filter (just like the D800E, this time Nikon will only introduce one model without the AA filter)
Improved software to suppress moiré
Expeed 4 imaging processor (they may call it Expeed 4a)
Higher resolution LCD screen
sRAW
4k video is unlikely
Same AF improvements like in the D4s
Improved low light capabilities: one stop better ISO performance
4 centre autofocus points
Built-in GPS
No Built-in Wi-Fi
5 fps (6fps with the MB-D12)
The new camera will be lighter (compared to the D800/D800E)
The price is expected to be higher than the D800E ($3,296.95)

I wouldn't call the D800's AF slow - just 'not as fast as the D4 or 1Dx'...

Still, anything that improves tracking of fast-moving wildlife is welcome.

If only Canon would release its own high-resolution body, to combine with the 200-400 1.4x... or if Nikon would update its 200-400 with an inbuilt teleconverter...

I never use AF but I do use focus confirmation.

Is the 5/6 fps going to be DX mode only like on the existing bodies?

No, full-frame.

Not interested. What I'm interested in are used D800 bodies going for $1500. But thanks anyway, Nikon.

Already love my D800 body so I doubt I'll upgrade anytime soon, but it's nice to see some minor upgrades to the body.

that makes it a bit more interesting

When they release the D800S, Nikon will have fully lapped Canon on the racetrack. Then Canon can boast that they're "neck and neck" with the competition.

Not D800s but D810. More in this thread

^^Thanks for the update!!
