Dustin Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 So what's the consensus on this? $4k ish for 4K, finally 1080p 120fps slow mo, Ibis, full frame sensor.. still not Sony/canon level continuous auto focus right? For that price you could buy 2 g85/a6300 plus lenses. I do love my Nikon though and can't imagine how detailed 40+ mgpixel stills would be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably sell my D500 for the D850, if it shoots as fast as the rumours say and has 120fps slomo video. Dustin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd been looking at maybe an A6500 or a GH5 to fill that gap, but if I could get something I can use for more than just slomo then that would be ideal. I keep saying I'm ready to sell up and go to Sony, but then Nikon dribbles out a feature that I want...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ND64 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 If they wanted to make a A99II clone, why didn't tweak the already available 42MP sensor instead of fabricating new one that naturally will be more expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because time moves in a forwards direction! The 42MP sensor came out in 2015, it's practically 2014 tech! Thankfully Sony isn't Canon and they do go forwards rather than use the same sensor tech for 10 years. Or even backwards with 6D Mark II.

BasiliskFilm Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 19 hours ago, Andrew Reid said: It should be called the Nikon A99 II If it matches the video of the A99, also has decent AF, and lets folk use their Nikon glass natively, that would be an decent option for those invested in Nikon glass. On the other hand if they brought out a video oriented D750 upgrade, 24 MP full frame sensor down sampled to 4K (A9 style) for half the money, then you can keep the 40+ MP camera. gethin and Dustin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gethin Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Can someone more tech minded tell me why noone has brought out a 39 mp full frame. My back of fag packet calculations tell me that's an 8k 16:9 window, computational ly easy to downsample to 4k, 39 mp is craploads of pixels...

The existing D810 sensor has a lower base ISO than that of the A7R or A7Rii/A99ii. Their photography users will likely call foul if Nikon produces a new camera that's worse in that regard, so they need to keep parity in that area, while being competitive in megapixel count with both its Sony competition and the 5DS(r) on Canon's side.

A full downsample from 8K to 4K seems to be beyond current processors, but at least line-skipping gives a tidy 4K matrix of pixels, even if the gaps can lead to more aliasing. The 4K full frame out of the A99II seems fairly clean, when in theory it should be roughly the same as the A7Rii - is there some clever voodoo going on there then?

The d810 doesn't has Strong aliasing compared to the d800, the d850 will probably do the Same with 4k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panasonic did it with the GH5 but I have a vague memory of Fuji doing the same, but might be mistaken. I'm pretty sure this has been around for years and years, decades!

gethin Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 on those leaked chinese slides that this info is taken from the last but one was translated as:"features for video" followed by "empty page". Inference hopefully is there are some to follow, not none at all! So apart from waiting for some sample footage, I guess we're still waiting on codec, data rates, peaking, zebras, (anything else?) it was also pointed out on nikon rumors that the high iso is conservative.

Trek of Joy Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 45mp Full touch screen/tiltable 4k/no crop 120fps/Full HD D5 AF 9fps 6fps/E-shutter 30fps/E-shutter at 8mp Sm/Med/Lg raw options (wish more cameras had this!) --- IMO, looks like a winner on paper --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
