The digital photography world has been waiting for nearly two years, anticipating an upgrade to Nikon’s D300S DSLR. The replacement is widely rumored to be a Nikon D400; but a quick search of the Internet shows multiple sources have been announcing the pending introduction of the D400 throughout 2011, which didn’t happen. Virtually none of the people who spend much of their time tracking these hot rumors has been able to discover, and then reveal, details of the D400’s features and specifications. As of the writing of this article (January 19, 2012), no one, but Nikon, seems to know much of anything about this new camera. An example of how unreliable such information sources can be is the great disparity of the reports about the size of the D400’s sensor. During March 2011, some were reporting a 14.8-megapixel, DX-format CMOS sensor. By July, the sensor grew to 24 megapixels and was expected to be a Sony sensor, the same as the company’s is putting in its Alpha 77, which still hasn’t been released either. Other sources seem to agree more with the 24-megapixel story. If the Nikon D400 is so equipped, then it will be almost the equal of the full-frame Canon EOS 5D Mark II.
