Nikon D4 Coming Round the Corner

[zedtan]

Nikon users who have been waiting for the D4 now have a reason to stay their wallets for the holiday season — Nikonrumors.com released today a list of specs which they say is "the real deal".

Nikon D4 specs:

• 16.2 MP
• 11 fps
• 100-102,400 native ISO range, expandable to 50 and 204,800
• CF + XQD memory card slots
• Compatible with the new Nikon WT-5 wireless transmitter
• Integrated Ethernet in the camera
• Face detection/recognition function that will be working in the viewfinder (maybe some type of a hybrid viewfinder?)
• Improved video (details are sketchy)
• Uncompressed video out through the HDMI port
• Ability to assign the two buttons on the front of the camera to smooth aperture control during video recording
• Improved 51 AF points
• AF detection range will go down to EV-2.0 (the D3s went to EV -1)
• Autofocus system: 9 cross-type sensors that are operational up to f/8

Still no official word from Nikon yet, but with Canon's 1D-X launch in October, Nikon is pressured to announce a competitor at the same tier.

What does uncompressed video out via HDMI mean?

The Canon 5D2 can do ~25mbps, so the D4 can do better? Wonder Canon or Nikon will be first to challenge Sony SLT technology which can do auto-focus on the fly during video recording!
