Nikon’s D4 Outed Officially

Nikon D4 Outed
Nikon’s D4 has been confirmed. It looks very impressive on the spec sheet. I like the idea of illuminated function buttons. Hopefully we can select the colour. :)

• Nikon D4 will have substantially lighter body
• Available in February
• Suggested retail price: $6,000
• The ISO range is listed again as 100 to 102,400, expandable to 50 to 204,800.
• 91,000-pixel RGB metering sensor
• Face detection/recognition
• 100% viewfinder coverage (obviously)
• Illuminated function buttons
• Dedicated video button
• Includes H.264 B frame compression
• Contrast detect AF in movie recording
• Low-pass filter for video recording
• Smooth aperture feature for video recording
• Nikon D4 is not produced in Thailand

I find it very interesting that they’re going to get it to market before Canon gets the 1D X to us.
