I'm not used to so many leaks/mistakes the day of a release, but it looks like someone at Amazon got a little trigger happy. Though the page is no longer active, we screen captured the entire upcoming product release for the hotly anticipated Nikon DF, including price, sensor size, and all the rest of the nitty gritty.
It looks like it has a 16.2 megapixel FX sensor with dedicated knobs (as you can see in the images) for ISO and shutter speed and exposure compensation. It also works with all Nikon AF-S, AF-D and AF Nikkor lenses.
Most importantly, you can see the price point of $2746.95.
If you want to see more images, you can take a look at some of the photos of the camera that were leaked this morning.
ZZZZzzzZz... Nikon trying to be like Olympus.
I'm getting the Sony 7!
I fully expect the first generation to be a little disappointing, but I sincerely hope the experience Nikon gains with the DF will allow for amazing future iterations. I would love a full-frame camera that can operate silently without the mirror flipping around. I think mirrorless cameras will eventually prove themselves more rugged than SLRs (the only part of a Nikon I've had break on me so far is the mirror mechanism), and allow for more versatile body designs, too.
Sound is one of the biggest things that attract me to mirrorless cameras, or rather, their lack of it. I'm sure there are plenty of us who do street photography or infant portraits who have wished for nearly-silent operation from time to time. The "quiet" mode on my D800 is anything but, and the choir leader at the university where I work has mentioned he'd appreciate it if we could get D800-quality photos without the mirror-slapping noise during concerts. This may not be that camera yet, but it makes me very hopeful for future releases as they work through the inevitable kinks associated with any new product category.
That price is not even "hipster friendly"
I wouldn't even care about the price if it just had two things different: D800 sensor and aperture ring... assuming the body is metal and weather sealed.
When did Amazon start using giant FS watermarks on their own content?
how do you know it was an accident? Allowing this "accident," seems to me to give amazon a head start in pointing interested buyers to their page.
I'm a die hard Nikon fan, but I think Fuji X-E1 is still a better option than this.
