Summer 2017 is shaping up to be the summer of prosumer full frame cameras. Canon is expected to announce a successor to the 6D while the rumors for Nikon’s successor to the D810 are piling up.

The new Nikon camera will likely be labeled the D820, and is expected to continue the D810’s focus on high ISO performance and a mega megapixel count. The specs below have been reported to and published on NikonRumors.com, and while they may easily change, they do seem very realistic.

 

Nikon D820 Rumors

Estimated availability:  Summer 2017

Sensor:  45-46MP sensor

No Built-in GPS:  This would be weird in the age of WiFi and NFC in most new cameras, and with the growing trend of amateur and beginner photographers purchasing these powerful prosumer full frame DSLRs.

Tiltable LCD Screen like the Nikon D750 and Nikon D500. This is a nice feature for Nikon video shooters, landscape photographers and those shooting from tough angles.

Memory:  Dual SD slots (SD & QXD).

 

Please note that these specs are far from guaranteed, but it’s fun to speculate. 

We’ll update this news article as soon as we know more.
