Nikon D820 specs surface

I don't think any of this was a surprise to anyone. How that sensor actually performs will be the more important aspect.
On the other hand it makes me eager to see what the 5Ds II looks like.

Directionally yes, but in specifics we were not sure. A lot of people were expecting the A7R II sensor to show up in a future D820, and that never materialized.
Also, a tilty-flippy in a top-spec'd camera (Nikon's #2 overall rig) likely perked up a few eyebrows at Canon corporate.

"Still a month or two out from the official announcement, it’s a good idea to take these specs with a grain of salt, but if Nikon does release this configuration for the D820, there will be plenty of people eager to pick one up."

The post hints that the information is unreliable.
Nikon needs to have a hit, we definitely do not want to see them lose more market share, its not good for any of us.
They also need to develop their own sensors with someone besides Sony. Sony has been with holding their best technology from Nikon. Even the XQD memory card is a Sony creature, and no one else has picked it up because of that.

That's the result when you are dependent on sensor suppliers.Mikehit said:
I hope that Canon will keep going on developing sensors.

The jump to 40 or 50 mp from 25 is not huge, as far as resolution goes, but it can give a image more contrast and a better look. I recently bought a used 1D MK III as a backup. 10MP! The images, when viewed at 100% really do not come close to my 5D MK III. The images are just fine, and focus is excellent, but that jump in MP is very noticeable. I think its one of those things that are not appreciated until you look back and compare a older model with a lot less resolution.

Sorry, Mt Spokane, I didn't want to alter this thread to a resolution discussion. So maybe we should stop this right here.Mt Spokane Photography said:Maximilian said:That's the result when you are dependent on sensor suppliers.Mikehit said:

Just a short reply:
I'm fine that everybody can choose between different resolutions - at least in the 5Dxx segment.
I prefer a faster workflow with less MP. For my prints 20+x MP are plenty enough and I'd prefer a better high ISO performance.
Of course one can interpolate to lower resolutions. But I also prefer to work with native pixel resolution (yes, Bayer isn't "native" as well).
So fine that anybody can choose whatever they prefer.

true enough. Personally I'm not expecting a Sony sensor in there. Nikon's last two flagships (D5 and D500) had purebred Nikon sensors.ahsanford said:

Yup I'd not hate to see them all across the board.

Define purebred. Per chipworks (now techinsights), an outfit which tears down electronics to analyze and image the constituent parts, the sensors in both those cameras have Sony part numbers (one via their Toshiba acquisition). It could be a Nikon design with Sony acting only as a contract manufacturer, but in that situation Nikon would likely use its own PNR.

Thanks for the info. I stand corrected. I remember reading somewhere that they were made by Nikon themselves. Apparently whatever the source was was not reliable.

Since I already own the D810 with prime optics, I can't wait for another upgrade to add to the collection!
I have two systems: Canon 5D MIII as the workhorse, C300 and C100 for videography, and Nikon for the specialty shots. I've tried the Sony FS5 and FS7, and they do not have superior autofocusing and color profiling compared to the Canon cinema series. So despite what some people say, Canon is not obsolete.
Use the tools that are best suited for the jobs / contracts you have to fulfill.
