New 24 MP CMOS sensor from Sony: D3X / D4 coming?

Sony has announced a new 24 MP CMOS sensor capable of delivering 6.3 frames per second – maybe this is an indication that a D3X / D4 from Nikon is on the way…

The new Nikon D60

After a leakage about the awaited new Nikon D60 at Dpreview there is the official anouncement at Dpreview:

10 MP, sensor cleaning function, active D-Lighting, compact body (probably D40 like) but no in-camera autofocus motor (exactly like the D40) – IMHO not a good move until they don’t announce new primes with AF-S….

“Is this a perfect camera? No, but it is the best that Nikon has made to date”

Michael Reichmann (Luminous Landscape): 2 stops above Canon

Michael Reichmann of Luminous Landscape has posted a statement about the high ISO capabilities of the Nikon D3:

“So here, completely anecdotally at this point, is what I see, and keep in mind that I also own and shoot with a 1Ds MKIII, a 5D, and have shot hundreds of thousands of frames with all of the previous Canon pro cameras as well.
The Nikon D3 is a significant step up in high ISO image quality over any other camera from any other company. My guess is that it represents a real world improvement of at least 2 stops over anything I’ve yet worked with or seen.”
