What to expect from Nikon for Photokina

By [NR] admin | Published: September 6, 2014

A quick recap on what to expect from Nikon for Photokina. First, an updated list of Nikon D750 specifications:

24.3MP full frame sensor (99% sure)
EXPEED 4 imaging processor (some rumors suggested dual EXPEED 4 processor, but I doubt it)
51 AF points (some rumors suggested a new 79 points AF system, but I don’t think Nikon will do it)
8fps (I’ve seen different reports on this – it could also be 6.5 fps)
TTL exposure metering using a 91k pixels RGB sensor – same as in the D800/D800E/D810 (some rumors suggested a new 300k pixels RGB sensor)
Tilting LCD screen (99% sure)
XQD memory card support (not sure about that and again – I doubt it)
Wi-Fi support (I doubt that one too)
New OVF facial recognition feature (this is a possibility)
Priced around $2,500 (the current Nikon FX camera price points are – D610: $1,896.95, Df: $2,746.95, D810: $3,296.95, D4s: $6,496.95)
There will be a big marketing push to show the video recording capabilities of the new D750 (this already started with the D810) – I’ve heard also about 4k video recording, but I am not sure
Nikon will market the D750 as an “action” camera (the promotional material will involve skaters – probably high-speed action shots and video)
The official announcement will be on September 11th (or September 10th around midnight EST)
I believe Nikon will continue to sell the D610 after the D750 announcement
I have to mention this again because I still get emails with questions – all of those D750 pictures are mockups/fake:

For a limited time B&H is offering $50 off on Zeiss ZF.2 manual focus lenses for Nikon mount (Zeiss DSLR lenses are usually never on sale, at least I do not remember seeing this before).

Rumors for a new Nikon 20mm f/1.8G lens with Nano coating

By [NR] admin | Published: September 3, 2014

This rumor is based on a tweet from somebody that works for a camera shop in Japan. I have a reason to believe that his information is correct: Nikon is rumored to release a new Nikkor 20mm f/1.8G lens with Nano coating (see patent). Here is the translation:

Nikon D750 DSLR camera to be announced in 10 days

By [NR] admin | Published: September 2, 2014

Another Nikon D750 mockup created by a reader (thanks broxibear)

A quick update on the Nikon D750 – the camera will be announced in approximately 10 days (around September 11-12th), which is right before the start of the Photokina show (September 16th). I can also confirm the 51 AF points. I have few other specifications that I may publish later today (still trying to confirm them). If you have any additional specs, please contact me.

Update: the actual announcement date will most likely be September 11th, since the 12th is a Friday and Nikon has never made any announcement on a Friday.
