Nikon registered their new camera model N1823 with the Taiwan NCC agency – this is most likely the upcoming Nikon D6 DSLR. The description of the camera includes:

• Wi-Fi (11a/b/g/n/ac)
• Bluetooth
• GPS
• Battery: Nikon EN-EL18c (this specific battery is used for the Nikon D5, D4, and D4s cameras)

Here are the latest Nikon D6 rumored specifications based mainly on leaks from Asia:

• 2oMP sensor, not 24MP as previous reported (still not 100% sure)
• No IBIS (still not 100% sure)
• 14 fps in normal shutter mode (the D5 could do 12 fps)
• Improved/better AF system but probably with the same number of AF points
• The Nikon D6 AF improvements are crucial and comparable to the Sony A9II
• The D6 will have more features and customization options for various aspects of the camera and settings
• Companion applications will also see improvements but they will most likely launch after the camera release
• The D6 will definitely not be a “hybrid” camera, but rather a DSLR with some mirrorless features (better video, silent shooting for example)
• 4K 60 video
• Improved dynamic range
• Advanced video features with RAW recording (not sure if external or internal)
• Longer manual exposure times (like in the Nikon D810A): from 1/8000 – 120 seconds (up from 30 seconds)
• Dual CFExpress memory card slots
• .76-78x 100% viewfinder
• New Expeed dual processors
• Built-in Wi-Fi
• 3.2 million dots touchscreen
• Improved silent shooting modes
• Official announcement expected in mid-February (around February 12, 2020 ±1-2 days)
• Update: one stop improved high ISO
