It’s surely possible to put the same kind of pixel density seen in compacts on an FX or DX sized sensor. You’d end up with a lot of pixels.

I agree though that the current sweet spot between noise and resolution is about 12MP for DX and 24MP for FX, but that number gets pushed up year on year as the technology improves.

SO, Today i was i a nikon store in bern, Switzerland. and they said to me, the D400 will come in summer/autumn. AND will have a Full-Frame, like D3.
It sounds realy serious. That is the only thing they know about the D400. And the information is reputed from Nikon Germany.
So, i hope thats true! Sounds nice! Greets

who the heck wants more pixels?

12 million pixels and 10 megabite compressed raw or 30mb uncompressed 14bit raw is massive, I really hope they dont bring out a new camera with x amount of more pixles! my hardrives cant take it! and on top of that i still cant see the difference from a 6 mp camera to a 12mp camera. unless i zoom down to pixle level but for that i would have to be blowing the images up to bill board size pictures!…. and i bet very few of us on this site do that.

what i would love is a extended dynamic range like the s5 but more so, better noise supperssion, and surprisingly video as it would be brill for music videos or taking up the slopes to make a snowboard video. especially if it hat 60p for great slow mo shots!

IT’S FAKE!! ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE IMAGE WHERE ALL THE CAMERAS ARE LISTED, THERE IS NO D400!!!! But that doesn’t mean it’s not coming soon, but just that this rumor is fake!!!

@PHB

It is un-logical for the state of technology right now to develop a DX sensor with anything over about 14-16 megapixels. At 24 mpgx on a DX sensor, the pixels would be so small and packed together that you could not shoot anything over about 50 ISO without very high noise levels. And since the pixels are so small, they are very insensitive to light, so you would end up having to shoot high ISO anyway. It is impossible to make a 24 megapixel sensor on a DX body with today’s current technology.

I very much doubt this is true. Concerning DX Camera, the Nikon D200 hat 10mp when Canons 30D only had 8mp. The D2x (though in a more professional league) even hat 12mp.

In FX Canon had an advantage for a long time. But even there, the D3x has 24,5mp whereas Canons 1Ds MIII only has 21.1mp.

At least in these days, I`d say its is more a head to head race.

I think that exists tech-process limit in today…

for DX – 16mpx
for FX – maybe max. 32mpx..

i’m waiting – D400 (or other DX) with 16mpx… 15mpx don’t planed for upgrade

If there are going to be forums I suggest a special DX is dead forum

BAck to topic: Some of you were asking for the use of a HD movie mode in a photo camera. Well, there’s an increasing demand of photojournalists like me to get this movie mode because more and more newspapers establish homepages with video content. And we (me and my colleages) are the ones to produce it. For the last few weeks I was running around with a handy compact canon HD video camera. Nice machine with automatic AF and white balance – but the wideangle abilities are a mess. Even with a special extension lens you won’t get more than 35 mm or so.
And you alwas have to carry an additional camera for normal pictures with you because the photo quality of this video cam is very poor.
So I would give a VERY warm welcome to a machine that combines full HD video and photography in one. D90 is a toy for daddy but not a pro tool for daily use, especially because the video function has no AF.

Iff these rumors are true, then they are very dissapointing….
So, still no native ISO 100.
I don,t understand why Nikon starts with ISO 200.
I have no neat the extra MPixels.
This is not an improvement over the D300.

I’ve never actually seen someone with a D3 that didn’t actually use it. Personally, I find it far to inconvenient for anything unless you are actually working. For that reason I assume people tend not to buy it to putz around with. However, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. I just have yet to see it.

there’s a line between abetting hoaxes and being the first to scoop a big story. you may not recognize that line, but it’s there.

Sloppy job, my friend. You couldn’t even bother to line up the left margin properly.

A privately-owned website can do whatever it wants to with its content. It’s not a violation of your “free speech.” Just like CNN probably wouldn’t allow you on Larry King Live to talk like an idiot for 60 minutes.
