Just another D700 picture courtesy of Nikon USA

Here are some more details on the Nikon D800:

• ISO range:  100 – 6400, ISO LO @ 50 and  ISO HI-2 @ 25600.
• There will be a different D800 version/model (or maybe even a special edition) with the antialiasing filter removed.
• At least two other products will be announced with the D800 (probably lenses). I believe all this is in addition to the consumer DX lens that will announced later this month. Basically we should have at least two more Nikon announcements before the end of 2011.
