I’ve got the scoop on the d400. Anonymous sources tell me Nikon’s new D400 will be:
15 megapixels DX
5 frames per second
Up to 12,800 ISO
The 51 point autofocus — like the d3 and d700
Have 1080p video capabilities
I do not know how accurate the source is. The d400 is supposed to be announced here in the next week or so. Oh, and by the way, it is a DX camera, not a FX camera.
I will not be buying it. Everything is going FX eventually and I can not justify buying a new digital camera every 9-12 months. I was talking to a photographer at Mall of America the other day and he is still using a pair of d200’s for all his professional work. His advice? If you have a DSL camera, invest in lenses. The lenses will retain value better as well as be compatiable with whatever camera you decide to buy in the future — as long as it is the same brand.
I would take that a step further — Only buy FX lenses. That way they will work well on any 35mm format camera you might buy from within the same family.
