It’s been no secret that Sony is a major supplier of sensors in past Nikon DSLRs. With the past few generations of DSLRs, however, Nikon has been rather coy about the sourcing of the actual sensors within the cameras. When asked, Nikon reps usually respond by saying the sensor is “designed by Nikon” and refuse to provide further details on who actually makes the sensor. [Read more…]

The Nikon D600 is a highly anticipated FX format DSLR and, according to Nikon Rumors, it is coming soon – possibly on or around September 13, 2012.

Rumors of the Nikon D600 have really been heating up over the past several weeks in the lead up to Photokina 2012. We’ve already seen leaked images of the D600. And rumored specs indicate that the D600 will be a 24MP full frame camera.
The latest lot of size and feature comparisons suggest that the D600 will be more akin to the D7000 in size and ergonomics even though it will borrow feature upgrades from the D800 as the junior full frame DLSR in Nikon’s lineup. [Read more…]
Canon Rumors has more word an upcoming full frame, “entry-level” Canon DSLR priced at $1999. With the Canon 5D Mark III priced at $3500 for the body only, it is out of reach of a lot of enthusiast photographers.

Several sources around the web are reporting that US retailers will be getting their first shipments of the Canon 1D X this week. While you shouldn’t expect to see 1D X actually in stock this week, this is a good sign that pre-orders will start being fulfilled on this long-delayed camera.
This also means that we’ll start seeing some real-world usage from the 1D X filter onto the web. It’s been a long time since I first got hands on the 1D X back in October 2011. I sure didn’t think that it would be nearly nine months later before the camera shipped.
Some leaked photos of the upcoming Nikon D600 have surfaced online at a Chinese forum. The D600 is rumored to be a 24MP FX-format DSLR that will be situated at a much lower price point than the higher-end D800.

Notably, Nikon Rumors seems rather confident that the previously rumored absence of an AF motor is not true and that the D600 will, indeed, feature a built-in AF motor for legacy Nikon AF lenses.
The revised Nikon D600 spec list is as follows: [Read more…]
The Nikon D600 may be the camera that a lot of prosumer shooters have been waiting for . . . that is, if rumors of its specs and price point turn out to be true. Nikon Rumors has posted rumored specifications of a 24MP full frame D600 set to be released later this summer (pre-Photokina, which is in September).
The big kicker though is a price point that is rumored to be as low as $1500 (half the price Nikon D800). This would open up full frame cameras to a whole new market.
Key rumored specs include:
