D760 rumoured in 2017

Been rumoured for a while, but if that is true and they'll be using the same sensor as the D5 I'll be giving it a wide berth.

A baby D5, isn't the D500 that:confused:

Looking at the link to NR where cameraegg are using, it just seems more of a wish-list than anything "I have no solid information on any of the rumors mentioned in this post, this is more of a list of possible Nikon products for 2017 (more expectations/speculations than rumors):"

http://nikonrumors.com/2016/12/15/what-to-expect-from-nikon-in-2017.aspx/

I suppose it's due a refresh along with the D810, just makes you wonder where the priorities are with Nikon due to the delay of the DL cameras and such.
 
Many people wanted and probably still want a smaller D4/4s/5 body aka the D3/3s and D700. Basically the top pro body in a smaller form factor. I never got on with the D700 (I'm very much in the minority) but do understand the need/desire for one.

In my view Nikon need to rationalise their product lineup, next year presents them with an opportunity to do that. They don't need an entry level, mid range, high end, 2 x specialist (DF & D810a) and sports FX body imho ... A replacement Df with some twekas and say the 24MP sensor and NO VIDEO ;) may have traction with some though (me for one ...).

I think they need to ditch the D6xx and D7xx and make them one line, i.e. the nigh on perfect all rounder fx body, the D8xx probably needs to remain at the top of the MP count in the Nikon lineup, but only 1 version aka the D810 - is there a need for a high MP astro body?? If they were to produce a D700 replacement - i.e. D5 internals in a D8xx style body - they may harm their D5 sales but would most likely get more sales. Many would get a D5 and a D700, pretty much like they did when the D3 / D700 were current.

I think that would make and understandable and broad coverage FX lineup.

As for the D500 being the baby D5, well don't forget Nikon also produced the D300 at the same time they did the D3/D700 ...
 
Would be the perfect camera for me. But im sure the price will be high. The recent price increases and the talk theres another large increase due in feb next year is going to make buying anything hard.
 
I've got the D5 and can't say I'm hugely impressed with the sensor I'm afraid, especially at low ISO. I'd also give this a wide berth I'm afraid.

But we don't know the specs yet, and even if it'll be made :confused:
 
D610/D750 is a very confused range. One all round entry level FF camera makes great sense. One high pixel count thingee for landscape/studio one where frame rates etc aren't as important and one superfast brilliant AF machine like the D5.

I really am interested in the replacement for the D810 which will hopefully have the sony sensor from the A7r2 but without the in camera stabalisation. Its not needed and one more thing to go wrong for something that will live on a tripod.

TBH my D750 is pretty much the perfect all round camera for me. If I could have anything else I'd have a substanitally larger AF spread, and no aa filter and that'd be about it. Sometimes I think I could do with 36mp for cropping purposes but TBH I don't think I could put up with the file sizes in LR on a regular basis.
 
Will be a nice camera, if rumors are true.
As I extremely happy with my current d4s. But still require a smaller body.

Same here as well. On occasion I'd like a bigger buffer but its very hard to see how the next version will tempt me away

Not if it has 2ev less DR (at base) and is noisier than the D750 like it might be if it uses the D5 sensor. It'll have less MP too.
 
Does anyone actually need anything more in a camera or is it just turning into an iPhone-fest?

Need and want are two different things ;) :p

My D750 does everything I want. Yes ideally I'd like a wider AF spread and better liveview, but I wouldn't be willing to shell out the money to upgrade just for this, or other little incremental changes it may or may not offer.

It's not so much needing to improve the camera, it's about making sure the camera stays competitive with others in its class.

Eternally chasing the $ :)

Perfectly clean ISO at 1,000,000 +
Faultless AF in pitch black

there's still room for improvement as I see it :D
 
Looking at Nikon prices any upgrade will be way out of my reach!
 
I bought a D750 in March this year and for me it is a 5 year camera. I spent more than I really should have so for me any upgrades are irrelevant. My camera out performs me now and probably still will in 5 years :D
 
One of the main lures that Nikon possesses is its superior dynamic range. They inexplicably (i mean literally, why the hell would they do this!) churned out the D5 with rubbish low ISO dynamic range. Surely they won't continue this approach for future D750 / D810 iterations? Bearing in mind that both those cameras were lauded for many things - but with dynamic range at low ISO being chief amongst those.

And that you don't have to use white telephotos :whistle:

I suspect the target audience doesn't really give a stuff about the extra DR ;) - it isn't as though it really is rubbish as you say :) it just isn't as good as the D810. Sports and journalists need better DR at high-ish ISO's and this is where the D5 excels. Horses for courses. If you want the best high iso performance get the D5, if you want the best DR get the D810, if you want the currently best allrounder then it's a toss up between the D810 and the D750.

They won't for sure with the D810 successor, this is the high MP, high DR (read that as studio/landscape if you want) camera where ultimate IQ is the objective. If, and it is probably a big IF too, they decide to make a "true D700 replacement", i.e. a D5 in a D8xx sized body, then yes, they will use the D5 sensor.

The confusion for many (well for me anyway) lies in Nikon's roadmap. They need to clarify their plans re the FX range, having a high MP body with the best possible IQ is essential, as is having the top line sports/journo blitzkrieg machine. It's the other bodies that need consideration, do they have a D5 in a D8xx body? if so do they still produce the equivalent to the current D750/D610 (but only one ...)? I think they need to. They will almost certainly produce another Df too (hopefully with something like the current 24MP sensor and still NO VIDEO ;)). There is also some talk of producing a 5DX ... confusion reigns.
