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
