Quote:4K with FF width, fine. Pixel binning to get to that? Not that fine. Not usable for serious 4K also, then. Join the big club, D850.Isn't it BC? My guess is will please many looking for that shallow depth of field on that FF sensor!
I'm going to wait for the results before decrying anything around the video department.........
..........However, here is a sports "high resolution" FF camera body that is capable of shooting 9Fps shooting speed (with battery grip), set against the competition this puts the camera in it's "own league" ......
Silent shooting is of course in Nikon's LV mode due to a lack of electronic viewfinder, but at least it's there and will encourage the wedding shooters to stick with their Nikon DSLRs for a few years more.
No sign however of Canon's magic PDAF in LV, so no smooth AF in video, but who expected anything different?
The word is that it's new backlit sensor is very low noise..............
..........I think we will be seeing new levels of IQ from wildlife shooters, for those lucky enough to be shooting with the latest Nikor telephoto AF-S 500/600/800mm, (ie not me)....... can now "shoot at speeds" that up till now have been limited to 20 Mps sensors or so.
Is this Nikon's "Swansong" in the DSLR market or the penultimate model?............either way it's an impressive piece of kit, of course I would love one!...my only criticism at this stage is the lack of PDAF which leaves Canon unique in this department.
One thing to mention is what is going to happen to the D5? .... with it's 20 Mps resolution and AA filter it's only real "gotcha" is it's extra three FPS..........
......D5 sales will plummet now!
