Nikon D4/D400/D800 information in Swedish restaurant, Rumor was posted by a new dpreview forum user in Nikon Compact Camera section and same user emailed the same crap to nikonrumors,
‘New Camera Take‘ 🙂 “I have heard most of Nikon D4/D400/D800 information in Japanese restaurant.” It may be true but D4/D800 /D etc.., Specification in a Swedish restaurant??… Share your thought with us??
Japanese Swedish Restaurant Rumor (in Details Below)
I have heard most of Nikon D4/D400/D800 information in Swedish restaurant. They are two, i believe Nikon employer and the other were slightly looking photographer, cause he have large camerabag closely to her. They speaked an conversation of Nikon general and i have writed my memo of the speaked specifications to my Ipad, i sit in distance of they and heard all important information. After that i writed that document based the specifications they said in dinnertable. This is shortened version having only D4 specifications. Full version is sent to some rumor sites. Believe or not, i don’t even believe they by myself. Here the document…..
Nikon D4 Specification
Sensor: 18 Megapixel full size CMOS sensor (Bayer type or new type 1-layer sensor which do not have Bayer filter but anyway needs three pixels to create any color. This new type will be better at high sensitivies)
Sensor made by: Nikon…..
Sensor filtering: Nothing (IR and AA filters are detachable and they are in detachable lens
mount module)
And that lens mount module: Detachable and including two filter slots for carrying example
of Anti-Aliasation and Infrared filters or what you want to mount over your sensor?
Detachable lens mount module is also useful for easy cleaning of sensor and prism too….. (personally i don’t want any aliasation to make photo unsharp while i can remove moire in photo manipulation or unuseful light decreasing traditional fysical IR filter, cause i prefer to remove IR frequences directly from sensor if i don’t want IR pictures)
Prism: Standard moving prism with Multi-Shot mode (more than 1 exposures in 1 prism move, user selectable number of exposures around 1-12 exposures, except over 12 frames/sec its mininum of 2)
Dynamic range: Over 16 F-Stops
Sensitivity: 100-409600 ISO (Boost 25, 50, 819200 and even the unbelievable 1638400) (IQ* over 5 stops better than D3s, personally i will not believe that, sounds impossible)
Autofocus sensor: 201 points MultiCAM-5000FX (all points cross type, huh) or it’s possible AF can be a completely new type? That AF systems have many AF-servo features like 1DmkIV…..
Light metering: New type 18 Megapixel light metering sensor (this is a surprise!)
Shooting modes: P,A,S,M,PM,AM,SM (in PM,AM and SM you can manually set what shutter speed and aperture ranges program can be use. Example PM 1/20-1/500sec and apertures f/2.8-8 while the lens itself can be use aperture from f/1.4 to f/22 (example). Shortly you can set what speeds and apertures can be used in program. And now Automatic ISO is allowed to use in all metering modes even in the full manual.)
Shutter speeds: 60-1/16000sec, Bulb, Time (probably metal shutter rated over million exposures)
Shutter lag: 20ms
Framerate: 12 frames/sec (18 frames/sec in Multi-Shot mode)
Camera buffer: Over 4 Gigabytes
Video recording: 30frames/sec UHD 3840x2160p & HD 1920x1080p quality AVCHD video
Flash sync: Up to 1/250sec X-sync and Nikon High Speed Sync up to 1/16000sec
Infrared sensitivity range: Up to 900Nm for full Infrared photography compatibility
Infrared sensitivity range set: You can manually set what red sensitivity range the sensor records. Eg. you can take genuine Infrared pictures without using any filter with sensor by setting the red sensitivity range to example of 650-900Nm. And you can take standard pictures simply by set the max red sensitivity to Around 550Nm. Its highly possible the camera have an own standard mode in the menu for easy setting to no IR senzitisation.
Memory: Two CompactFlash card slots and one standard USB3.0 port on the camera right side for moving the photos and videos to memory stick or hard disk or shooting to them directly
Other features:
Autofocus and Light metering servo features
Additionally the old AI/AI-S lens connectors for metering
In camera moire remove feature while shooting samelike as noise remove (Off, Lo, Md, Hi)
Integrated grip

Integrated GPS
Integrated Wi-Fi for uploading pictures, remote controllers, setting cameras settings from computer, for flash controlling etc…..

Weight: Around 1400g without battery, memory card or body cap
