Rumor: Nikon D4x DSLR


Email Page | Comments

At some point, the Nikon D3 series will be replaced, presumably with the D4 series. If Nikon continues its current trend, that means at some point a Nikon D4x will also be released.

Below are a list of rumors regarding the Nikon D4x DSLR, newest first. Please rate how credible you believe these to be, and feel free to add your own comments/thoughts. If you have any more information, please email us at rumors@dentonimages.com or click Rumors Wanted. We'll continue to add new rumors to this page as we come across them.

Nikon Surveys Medium Format Photographers

Date: 5/3/2010
Source: NR

Rating: 2/5, Votes: 1

Just when you thought the Nikon medium format rumors were dead and buried, NR reports that Nikon UK have been surveying UK medium format photographers, asking about gear they use etc.

As NR points out, this is more likely a survey related to the D3x (and possibly plans for a D3xs or D4x), since the marketing of this camera was largely based around its value as an alternative to Medium Format.

34.8 Megapixels

Date: 9/18/2009
Source: PR

Rating: 1/5, Votes: 1

OK this one is a stretch:

PhotoRumors has posted information on a CCD sensor being developed by Sony for a pro studio Alpha camera, boasting 34.8 megapixels, ISO 50-3200, 3.4 frames per second (14 bit) etc.

Now assuming that is real (big assumption), it's an established fact that Sony and Nikon collaborate on sensor design - the most recent example being the D3x sensor, which is made by Sony and appears to be a much improved derivative of the sensor found in the Sony Alpha A900 and A850.

So assuming this sensor is real, and assuming it will appear in a Alpha Studio camera next year, then there is a strong possibility that an improved derivative of this sensor could appear in a Nikon D4x some time in 2011. Told you it was a stretch.

Alleged Nikon Roadmap says Q4 2010

A user on a Czech forum (here via NikonRumors.com) has posted what he claims may be from a 37 page Nikon document outlining Nikons product release roadmap for 2009-2010.

Here is what it says about the Nikon D4X:

Released 4th Quarter 2010 Nikon D4X - new features: 30.2 millions, FX sensor completely new design with maximized by increasing the sensitivity of more than 1 EV as "ultra-fast pixel register cache", which allows to double the frame rate or increase dynamic range, including effective aid noise reduction with natural lodging details. [S] 6.736 x 4.490 Continuous high-speed mode: FX 6 fps, 10 fps with a double-exposure phase detection AF & mirror up 5/sec., DR enhanced double-exposure mode: Auto, manual setting of time for both the ISO and exposure in "M", "A", "S" and "P" mode with a semi-double exposure corrections in the range of + -5 EV in the range of 1 s. and 1 / 8000 p. and ISO 200-6400 Format dNEF, ISO 100 - 6400, Lo-1, Hi 1 Movie - mode: 1920 * 1080 at 30 fps

Our Take:

Too early for the D4x, would make the D3x product life cycle less than 2 years. The in-camera HDR (double exposure to increase dynamic range) is straight out of Thom Hogans wish list.

The full translation (translated using Google Translate) of the original post can be found in our forums - see the source link below.

Update:The same poster posted this further down the thread when someone asked him to produce the document, basically saying he found out it was a 'little joke' after spending 3 hours translating it (via Google Translate):

The answer came to me by mail:

  • I idiot when I disclose
  • It's little joke allegedly staff with responsibilities for their beloved colleagues and supervisors with shipper from the center
  • So it's supposedly fancy, but had to give mad work was concerned about his colleagues were extremely happy and very creative. And from me therefore I did laugh and I to 3 hours to translate.
