Nikon D900

Written by Eric on July 28th, 2008 | 6 Comments


Not a Nikon D900 Seriously? Another Nikon model number? I think we may now have more “rumored” camera models from Nikon than current generation models. We’ve seen rumors about the D90, D800, D3x and now the D900.

The only reason the Nikon D900 is getting the light of day here is because Thom Hogan is leaning toward a D900 model over the introduction of a D3x. He said:

I’m going to go a different direction: no D3x. Yes, a 24mp FX body, but it’ll be the D900. This allows them to use the Sony sensor and bring it downscale to compete with the A900/5DII.

Thom’s usually got a pretty good ear to the ground on these things, so there may very well be something to the D900 (or maybe a D800).

    Nikon D900 will never complete SONY A900 & Canon 5D MarkII,because it will be the highest price

    Hope you guys know that the Nikon D700 was introduced back in July 1 2008 right?

    there wouldn’t be much improvement over D3 of D700 except 24m pixels with stronger (says quad) processors. Therefore Nikon would not rush to introduce it not until Sony or Canon have trigger the next competition over full frame sector.

    @someone - Yep.

    I fully agree from a marketing-related point of view as well as a user that a semi-professional SLR with 21-24 MB is needed.
    Parameters are changing because of economic crisis, ongoing chip-evolution and new competition like Sony’s Alpha 900.
    As a Nikon consumer for over 25 years, I had been waiting for the D3 but was quite disappointed because of its poor resolution. Now I am disppointed again because of the target pricing for the new D3x.
    I am not sure if I could wait another year for a D900 or whatsoever because there exists already an alternative: Canon 5D II.
