As previously reported, Nikon just announced the development of the D4s “HD-SLR” camera which will be on display at CES in Las Vegas (send me some pictures if you are going to the show). The new camera will have “enhanced image quality“, a new image-processing engine and “more advanced autofocusing performance” (pretty much what I reported earlier).
