Some rumors from the Chinese social network Weibo:

Nikon already signed up to purchase the new Sony IMX455 60MP sensor.
The IMX455 sensor PDAF is supposed to be better than the Multi-CAM 20000 currently used in some Nikon cameras.
Sony will not use the IMX455 sensor, instead, they may use a slightly better version called IMX555.

Here are the details on the new Sony IMX455AQR sensor with 60MP, 8k video, and native 64 ISO:

Rumors: Nikon D6 to have a built-in sensor stabilization

By [NR] admin | Published: April 22, 2019

I received the first Nikon D6 rumored specifications from a new source:

24 MP sensor
4K 60 video
Longer manual exposure times (like in the Nikon D810A): from 1/8000 – 120 seconds. (up from 30 seconds)
Built-in sensor stabilization (variable)

Of course, the big surprise here is the built-in sensor stabilization. This is all I have for now – in the coming weeks and months, I should be able to confirm and report additional D6 specs.
