After waiting for about 4 years, there is lots of expectation that the users will now see the successor of Nikon D300S in the coming month of September, 2015. The latest rumor is surfaced over the FOX2 forum
take a look at test surfaced at the Fox2 forum
The only ‘facts’ I have been told are:
– its on its way, will be called D400, is scheduled for announcement in sept and will have a 24MP sensor.
Everything else is speculation but as it is likely to be the flagship of the cropped sensor range logic tells me that it will be a higher spec (and no doubt price) than the D7200 so would expect it to draw in quite a few of the bells and whistles from the D4s/D810 etc. What would be very desirable (for me) is a fast burst rate, group area AF, high ISO capability, fast write speed and quite a few other things I will think about over the weekend! lol
The only possible reason I think behind the delay of Nikon D400 camera was absence of a true competitor, over the past few months advance APS-C camera like 7D Mark II from Canon and NX1 from Nikon already created a different space in the APS-C cam market. Nikon D7200 specification look inferior in front of the recently announced flagship and Nikon need a flagship DSLR at this moment to continue the APS-C flagship legacy.
It is expected that Nikon D400 should be a very impressive and powerful camera compare to its predecessor Nikon D300S and there will be lots of magnificent features set for sports and wildlife shooters. It will come with 24MP APS-C Sensor comparatively superior to 12.3 MP DX-Format CMOS Sensor of Nikon D300s.
At this moment we don’t have much information till date but we expect that it will have possible 51 points AF system, ISO range upto 51200, and will also supports recording 4K UHD.
We know that Nikon will soon or later will going to announce the Nikon D400 camera. Take a look at the post published on April 11th, 2015 – Nikon D400 Will Arrive in Future

“My inspiration for photography has always been a desire to capture something spectacular, something unusual, and something unique. This drives me to stand in the path of a violent tornado or in the middle of intense lightning storms, to stay up all night under the stars exposing the hidden Milky Way, or to drive 800 miles in a day in search of something breathtaking…..Jeff Boyce”
Panasonic installed a photo booth in in Osaka and used 120 Lumix DMC-GH4 cameras to make the effective 3D figurine portraits . Through ultra fast 3D scanning with limited time frame of 1/1000 sec, the image of the subject captured is sharp even if it will be in motion , hanging in the air or any other position.
Video in Japanese.
To obtain the 3D portraits, the cameras are arranged in grid pattern covering the floor to ceiling of the booth facing towards the walls of the cylindrical booth. It is synchronized in such a way that the trigger of the camera goes on every one millionth of a second. In this process it collects 2 billion pixels of information and results in 1/10th life-size images.
The figurines are optional, and cost 55000 yen, plus tax, which is about $450/£280. For more information see the Panasonic Japan press release and watch a promotional video – both in Japanese.

The FZ300 is recently announced by Panasonic, the camera features advance core specification but the only problem is the small sensor inside it, on the other hand Sony RX10 II features large 1″ sensor…. Take a look at the specification comparison review between the Sony RX10 II and FZ300 camera,
Major Difference
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ300 vs. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 II Specification Comparison Table.
Sensors: Sony DSC RX10 II has 20.2 MP 1″ Exmor RS BSI CMOS Sensor which is based on backside-illuminated technology. While the FZ300 supports 12MP 1/2.3″ high-Sensitivity MOS sensor added with the Venus Engine image processor.
Hence the sensor of RX10 II is larger and superior to FZ300. The large sensor inside the RX10 II definitely improves the clarity and image as well its performance in low-light condition. Sony RX10 II has two stop more ISO compare to FZ300 , which makes it more sensitive to low-light environment and hence it captures correctly exposed image even at low-light condition when compared to FZ300.
Sony RX10 II has the integrated DRAM chip into the sensor and its combination with the BINOZ X processor supports 4K recording upto 30 mins and can capture 20MP files @14fps on the other side FZ300 has the capacity to capture 12MP files @12fps., the Sony RX10 II is really have uncomparable speed.
Sony RX10II sensor will give you better image quality compared to FZ300.
Optical Zoom: FZ300 uses the Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 24x Zoom Lens which supports the equivalent focal length of 25-600mm and also supports maximum and fixed aperture of f/2.8. While Sony RX10 II has uses the Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 8.3x Optical Zoom Lens with fixed F2.8 aperture range, the biggest reason behind the coverage of more optical zoom by Panasonic is its small sensor size. However if you want a zoom camera you may go with Nikon P900 that features 83X optical zoom.
Yes the Panasonic FZ300 more zoom compared to RX10 II.
