Nikon D90 Image Leak?
Is this an image of the new Nikon D90? It’s the best one I’ve seen so far. What do you think?
UPDATE: Thom Hogan says: “The picture is accurate and appears to be real (and NOT the pictures I have).” [via]
[via NR]
For the latest news and rumors on the Nikon D90, stay tuned to Photography Bay’s Nikon D90 page.
Nikon D90 Specs – Solid Info
Thom Hogan is feeling pretty confident on his information and has posted what are believed to be the actual specs of the new Nikon D90, which is expected to be announced shortly.
The Nikon D90 will feature the following specs:
- 12 megapixels
- 4.5 frames per second
- Live View with VIDEO (and audio) CAPTURE – yes, you read that right
- HDMI connection
- GPS connection
- Kit lens is an 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G DX VR (28-150mm equivalent on 35mm)
Clearly, Nikon is aiming to one-up the previous generation DSLRs with specs like these. The video capture will surely be a big selling point in the consumer market.
I’ll withhold my thoughts for know, but I want to know: What do you think about video capture in the Nikon D80 replacement?
More Nikon D90 Rumors, By the Numbers
Thom Hogan may be having a little fun with us based on info that he’s received from sources within or close to Nikon. In a recent forum post, Thom threw out some numbers while discussing the rumored Nikon D90. These were tossed around by Thom in response to a silly lottery number question.
Try something like 12, 4.5, 3, 11, 90, and 105. For the bonus number use 1080.
While it may seem rather trite, Nikon Rumors has read a little deeper into these and given us their interpretation of the winning numbers:
12mp, 4.5FPS, 3″ LCD, 11 point AF, D90, 105mm lens and 1080 video recording.
I think Thom is enjoying himself (and probably passing along good info too). Kudos to NR for reading between the lines. I remain a bit skeptical on the 1080 video “recording”. I would expect if that number is for real it has to do more with the interface and compatibility with high-def devices – much like Sony has done in recent history.
Nikon D90 to Include GPS?
Nikon D90 Mockup - yeah, it's a fake
Discussing the upcoming Nikon P6000, Thom Hogan hints at the possibility of GPS in the Nikon D90 and other coming Nikon DSLRs.
It appears that Nikon is making a concerted effort to embrace GPS and WiFi across their product line (hint: this won’t be the last time you see me mention GPS support on an upcoming product you might not expect to have it).
Hogan also hinted at this “surprise” in a recent posting on DPR forums.
