  Nikon unveils D800, with 36.3MP sensor incorporated February 7, 2012 - 13:40 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Nikon unveiled its latest DSLR camera on Tuesday, Feb 7, the D800, confirming recent rumors that it would incorporate a huge 36.3MP sensor. Buyers of the device might also want to consider getting several extra-large external hard drives to hold all of their super-sized images, Digital Trends reported. The D800 starts shipping in March. The stand-out feature of the full-frame D800 device is its new 36.6MP CMOS sensor, which Nikon claims is capable of image quality “equal to that achieved with medium-format digital cameras.” If you’re fond of making big prints or always find yourself using your editing software’s crop tool, the D800 will give you more leeway than you ever thought you’d need. The D800 incorporates a 51-point AF system with the viewfinder offering 100 percent coverage and 0.7x magnification. You’ll find twin memory card slots for SD and CF cards and a USB 3.0 port. Video-wise this is Nikon’s most advanced camera to date and is capable of capturing 1080p full-HD movies at 30/25/24fps, and 720p movies at 60/50/25/24fps. The new camera sports a magnesium alloy body and weighs 10 percent less than its predecessor, the three-and-a-half-year-old D700. The D800E was also announced on Tuesday, which is identical to the D800 except for the elimination of the anti-aliasing low-pass filter, enabling it to capture images with even more detail. The D800 will hit stores in March with a price tag of $3000 (body only). The D800E body will be available in April for $3300. Both cameras will go on display for the first time at the Camera & Photo Imaging Show in Yokohama, which kicks off on Thursday.
