"D800 "A whole new category of camera""


South Guildford, AU
          

Just read this interesting article on the Nikon website explaining the rationale behind the design of the D800.

It appears it was not designed as a D700 replacement. One reason was as a Nikon entry statement into the world of medium format cameras.

Read this interview with members of the design team:

I got this post from the Nikon Rumors RSS feed.

I am still working on getting my wife to let me upgrade to FX from my D300s and I think this would be the camera to start with
