Nikon announces full frame, 18 megapixel (Sony CMOS sensor), F6D (F6 based Digital SLR) (apparently NOT an April Fools Joke).
Nikon announces full frame, 18 megapixel (Sony CMOS sensor), F6 based
Digital SLR (apparently NOT an April Fools Joke). Scheduled for 2006. I have a link to the badly translated Japanese web site on my web site, at http://digitalslrinfo.com/ at the top, under "Breaking News." Not ready until 2006, but the D2x should stem defections to Canon, by Nikon system professionals in the meantime. I've added as much as is known to my specification table at http://digitalslrinfo.com. You can read the reasons than Nikon is doing this at. http://tinylink.com/?vv5qVSICuY. Just remember that nearly everything that this individual writes is the opposite of the truth. If this really is an April Fool's joke then I apologize, but it appears to be real. It's good to see Nikon entering the high-resolution, professional digital segment, albeit a bit late. Canon needs some competition! Steve http://digitalslrinfo.com |

Steve http://digitalslrinfo.com D90, using the sensor from D2X in a F100 body. I wonder how expensive (cheap) it would be. |

I'd say most if not all of the notes are for real - the D50/D70 have
already been confirmed by Nikon, and it's rare for a Japanese website to make jokes (Japanese simply don't). |

Just remember that nearly everything that this individual writes is the opposite of the truth. Why include this link if you disagree??? If there is anything relevant to the link, it is that this will be an expensive camera? Other than noise, the other reason for larger sensors is to match the available 35mm lens set. It is sort of silly to use a cropped frame sensor on 35mm lenses. |

I just thought it was amusing to see someone take every positive advance made by Canon, and try to twist it into a disadvantage, and then claim that Nikon would never implement all these features, and then to have Nikon announce what all the Nikon professionals have been waiting for for years, which is essentially a Nikon version of the awesome EOS-1Ds Mark II. |

April 1 - Happy New Year. what amazes me is that so many people would like it, and the only people who have not yet caught on are nikon marketing people. nikons failed to be responsive and I chose S2 pro. fuji did not listen, and I did not choose S3. nikon is still not listening, and the best choice may be D2X, or maybe slr-pro. or really, 523c |
