Nikon D6 rumors


Some Nikon D6 rumors:

  • Sensor above 20MP but for sure under 36MP (my personal guess: 24MP)
  • Improved dynamic range
  • Improved AF system but probably with the same number of AF points
  • Advanced video features with RAW recording (not sure if external or internal)
  • Dual CFexpress memory cards
