Nikon D4 Leaked by the French

The rumours were flying around for months and the mill was in high gear for the last few weeks about Nikon’s new flagship camera, the D4.  Official announcement is likely to come on Friday, Jan. 6th (late Thursday in Canada/USA) but a French magazine spilled the beans early.  A scan of the article can be seen here.  Looks like a great body, and should compete well against the new Canon 1DX.

Specs:

• 16 megapixels
• ISO 100-12800 (expandable to 50-204800)
• 51 autofocus points
• 100% viewfinder coverage
• 10-12fps
• 91000 point metering system
• 1080p video recording
• CF/XQD card slots
• 1.34kg weight
• €5,800 (likely to be about $6,000 USD)

Full details when officially announced by Nikon later today.
