That'll put the cat amongst the pigeons if it's true.

Personally I cannot wait! Not that the D300 that I currently use is bad, but rather I need a replacement for the D200 I use as backup.

hmmm a rather old but reliable rumor was the fuji s6 was d400 based

Kev - Do you think the Fuji equivalent would come in less expensive than the Nikon D400?

If the fuji comes back, it will be a grand ish higher than the nikon equivalent.

the fuji will always be higher. it depends on the sensor really. the market has shown that its willing to pay a premium, but not more than $300-$500. fuji of course is usually asking for $500-$1000. thus they do not sell ahd fuji ends up fire sale-ing them.

but fuji needs to add resolution and a lot of it. fuji has 3 typs of sensors. the HR, SR, and EXR.

the HR is high resolution, its a basic sensor like everyone else uses. thus a 14mp sensor is 14mp, the only advantage is built in fuji colors and the hexagonal shaped sensors.

the SR sensor is the dual pixel sensor with wider DR. currently its a 6.17x6.17 or 12.34mp sensor. so you have a 6.17mp in resolution but 12.34mp for DR. if fuji was to use this they need at least a 8x8mp sensor and thus it would cost the same as a d400, not a money maker camera. a 10x10mp might sell, but they really need a 12x12 in a crop camera. in a FF that thing needs to be at least 14x14 to 20x20mp for resolution.

the EXR sensor fuji tried to fix the major flaw of the SR sensor. that is, its a 12.34 mp sensor, why cant i use all 12mp's for resolution is standard DR mode. thus a 12.34mp sensor is 12.34 only in standard DR mode but 6.17 in wide DR. to use this in a dslr they once again need 10mp in wide mode or higher.

dslr crop cameras come with 10-16mp res, thus the fuji needs to have twice the mp's to make it work. this is where the cost comes into play. so lets say fui makes a 24/12 exr crop camera and the cost is $300-$500 over the d400, it will sell. but there are heavy reports that nikon has in the past dictated pricing to fuji ir other issues have come up.

all i know is back in nov 2007 i sat a test fuji s6 and a print from that camera. this was had a sr sensor and i have yet to see the body it used from nikon. it was rumored to be more than 10mp in true resolution.

Why is everyone so suprised? The 400 is due about now.

I am interested to see what features it will have. No video, I hope. I know I'm probably SOL since the D300s has it.

Only one thing is certain... It will be black.

And beautiful, so there is two sure thing's Rob

Sure hope it takes good photos

I need it to do 8 FPS and ISO 1600.

I want true ISO 100 none of this bs pull down. Canon can do it why not the a holes at nikon. They keep coming out with shit with video added and no other features and a 12mp sensor when the other guys are at 15 18 21 etc. Getting tired of the same size sensor

That ISO 100 is something I would love to see as well. Hell, give us something different to the rest, give us ISO50.

LOL what an easy to spot fake. Check out the focal length information vs the lens information.

I agree. Lose the video crap and let's see ISO 100.

I am wanting a new camera. (Have NAS) maybe this is the one.

with the fuji i have iso 100. what i want is is iso 25, 50, 64, and 80

Go buy some Kodachrome. Probably the least expensive way to get ISO 64...
