More Nikon D800 bits and pieces
The AF and viewfinder coverage of the current D700 will be improved with the D800
Just few more updates on the Nikon D800 specs:
- 100% viewfinder coverage (Nikon D700 has “only” 95% frame coverage).
- Improved AF with face recognition – not sure yet what this means exactly, but the D800 will not have the same 51 points AF system as in the D700 and D3s.
- I was also able to confirm the dual memory card slots but I am still not sure if they will be SD, CF or both (the initial specs mentioned SD+CF).
- USB 3.0 – there is talk that Nikon has been purchasing USB 3.0 chips for some time.
I am still trying to confirm the remaining details and get some additional info. The initial set of specs seems to be accurate (so far the info I published matches with the specs).
Yes, 36MP is a lot, but keep in mind that Nikon has to stay competitive in the future since they will probably not replace and will continue to sell this camera for another 4 years.
