This week I had three separate posts on the rumored Nikon D800 specs. Here is a quick recap.

This is the list of “confirmed” specs for the Nikon D800 (there are some new updates). My confidence on those is above 90%:

• The name will be Nikon D800
• 36MP sensor
• 100% viewfinder coverage
• Improved AF with face recognition – the D800 will still have 51 points AF point
• Dual memory card slots (still not sure if they will be SD, CF or both)
• USB 3.0
• ISO range: 100 – 6400, ISO LO @ 50 and  ISO HI-2 @ 25600
• The screen will be larger than 3 inches
• The D800 will not have built-in GPS
• Expeed 3 processor
• There will be two different D800 versions/models, one with the antialiasing filter removed

This is the list of not confirmed specs from the initial D800 post (Google translation):
