  • Dmitry K

    The question is about the quality of the sensor - if the ISO rating for 3000 goes to dxo - there will be wines. But hardly. There will be 2500 - 2700. And everything will return to normal - Nikon has rubber raves, Canon has color and video.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      I am sure that due to the Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor, high ISOs will not be as working as modern sensors without this technology.

      • Dmitry K

        I derived an approximate pattern for myself - if on crop ISO points are equal to X, then on an FF matrix from the same era and the same production technology they are equal to 2.25 x X, maybe a little more. (The area ratio is shorter). There are about 1000 points in the second seven, which means that we will count on 2500 here. In the first Dyksa there were 2200. There will be progress, but not awesome. Wangyu so about))))

        • Dmitry K

          oh, blah .. in the first dyks 2780 .. Well maybe 3000 will be .. I xs ..

          • Novel

            Gentlemen, do not quarrel. The problem is that different people have different criteria for a "working" ISO ...
            For example, on Canon 550D, ISO 800 is absolutely working for me, but my colleague already sees wild noises by 200. So everything is subjective.

  • Michael

    Solid microlenses. If it’s not a ghost - a very interesting matrix. Maybe, finally, the working ISOs will really be improved, and not the resolution? Who knows. So far, this is all advertising, albeit an intriguing one.

  • Oleg

    As it is not screwed in the photo 50 / 1.8
    And then on the flagship camera they hitched a controversial lens according to their characteristics. Or does he think they just look good? :)))

    • Alexey

      So that the camera is not too cluttered

  • Oleg

    A sensor resolution as in 6D

  • anonym

    Is everyone so cute Hayon Hayat? which has not yet come out, has not turned over) Just nya ^ _ ^

  • anonym

    there is only one unit. 1 DX reportage. Everything else is crafty. Mark 2, 4, 6 .. yes even mark 126. It’s impossible to beat Dyks, it makes no sense to produce cameras that serve for years and bring loot, but do not die after a certain time and require repair, which again replenishes the manufacturer’s budget . It always has been and will be. The Japanese first create things by jumping above their heads on the performance characteristics, and then they begin to realize that they’ve messed up, released a too high-quality product that is one step higher than time. I’m not giving an example from the field of photography; I myself am engaged in professional fishing, at one time in 2000 the Japanese diving company launched the lightweight TD-Z reels on the market, for those years it was a real jump over the TTx. The main difference of this unit was the minimum and to this day mass assembly with the highest possible dimensional qualities. Judge for yourselves - size 2506 weighs 186 g, today not a single coil of this size 2506 weighs as much as the casing and filling would not lighten. - all weights are about or more than 200 g. And these coils have been living for 16 years now, they have been working with athletes) And then the Japanese started to play pranks with this technique, the quality fell, the weight increased, the cost just didn’t fall) They don’t try to repeat the 2000 record, it’s not profitable for them. Translating speech to photo business, the same thing.

  • Oleg

    where are the harsh nikonists?

    • anonym

      Tapping on d5
      And someone switched to A7x2 (:

    • scif

      HERE Nikonists))) well, it came out and it came out - the nikon D5 has a half higher iso))) and more than 150 focus points, and a complete set of both CF cards and QXD cards)))

      • khleb@ukr.net

        Finally.:)))
        In terms of the number of points, I have my opinion that even millen and this nifiga will not help if you don't cover most of the viewfinder. And there would be enough crosses in four points of thirds and in the center and then fill in by generosity :)

        • Andrei

          exactly

    • Passer

      The harsh Nikonists are here. D5 outperforms 1D X MII in all respects except AE sensor and rate of fire. But given the size of the buffer and the length of the series, even Canon’s gain in rate of fire is dubious. I don’t touch the video, because we are discussing cameras. And yet there are no matrix tests for DD and high ISO. I think that everything will not be in favor of 1D either. http://spp-photo.ru/2016/02/03/sravnenie-nikon-d5-s-canon-1d-x-mark-ii/

    • anonym

      Did they touch you? Or make smart hunting? So the bazaar with its kenonists. In the ban provocateur.

      • A.N. Onim

        Those who firmly sit on one system will not jump back and forth if flagship cameras are released in different systems every two years - it is simply not profitable to lose money on the sale / purchase of optics. I'll be glad for the kenonists, they have a new landmark

  • ñ

    Harboring!

  • Anatoly

    Mdyayayaya .. fotik certainly not very ..
    Typically a commercial product trying to leave on the same name ..

    • Andrei

      Not really because you cannot afford? Arguments, as always, zero)))

  • Pastor

    In general, nothing super-revolutionary, just an update. By the time it was time to update the unit, and that's updated. For video, of course, good opportunities open up, but for photos, unless the workers improve their rate of fire, although 1dx didn’t have any problems. In terms of noise, even on ISO 12800, everything was completely nothing. The new unit will probably be even better. And the focus worked out a bit (although in the unit it was better than in d4, and even in d4 it was super :)). There is still hope for lower prices for other models (not only 1dh, but also used devices like 1dm4 and 1dsm3). Will see.

    • Oleg

      There is no technological breakthrough. There is a lick of technology of the 20th century :( And so in everything. Scientific and technological stagnation has come.

  • Andrei

    Dear Pokemon, you probably Nikon d3100?

    • Andrei

      and where does Nikon 3100?
      I don’t have it, but I also think that the dumb little bubble came out.

  • varezhkin

    and I'm waiting for Nikon to release it by the 100th anniversary. Perhaps some Df2 ...

    • anonym

      Well, who will need it? It’s better to let the normal 4K video be filmed, or FullHD at 120fps, for normal slow-motion.

      • anonym

        And in the case of DF, it would be nice to just make a video, at least some wretched, but that was.

        • varezhkin

          +10 in vain they killed him there.

    • Lynx

      it’s not profitable for marketers.
      df did not take off.

      • anonym

        Df did not take off for three reasons:
        1. Expensive
        2. For the price, very high functionality in terms of buns (same video)
        3. In vain they made him a mirror. It was necessary to sculpt a competitor for Sony a7, focusing on a huge fleet of manual and autofocus glasses for every taste and budget, leaving the F mount and full compatibility with all the puffs, lenses, and other stray from the existing system.

        • Lynx

          1, yes did not guess with the price, but the matrix.
          2. nafig there is no video needed. But suitable autofocus, a couple of flash drives and 1/8000 sec for this price would be suitable. Or significantly lower price, competing with the D610.
          3. mirrorless and so a dime a dozen. Its meaning is in mirrorless form, if you need a motor and an adapter 2 cm long, which loses any sense of its compactness.
          So the topic was good, marketers only everything as usual, alas.

          • anonym

            The meaning of mirrorlessness is in reducing the cost of construction and reducing the weight, well, and the fashion is now at the UPC ... But with the working segment, yes, it will not work compactly, but there are also advantages:
            - many owners who have a formed optics park would probably be interested;
            - no costs for the development of new optics.
            Personally, the only ambiguous situation with autofocus lenses in the system that stops me from buying a Sony a7.

            • Lynx

              cheaper? O_O I'm afraid this is a myth of people who think that “a mirror is the most valuable part of a camera”.
              Df was not given the task of "weight reduction" at all.
              .......
              - And many owners (what?) Have a formed range of rangefinder optics?
              - what nonsense. If this is a nikon camera, then the whole optics park is suitable anyway.
              .......
              Well, you somehow already figure it out - do you need to attach some kind of “huge mirrorless park of optics” from third-party manufacturers, or are you native to autofocus lenses? ))
              ....
              Df, in principle, would not be the option "buy cheap, because it looks like the old zenith." Even if the price had not been raised, the DF would still cost more than the D610.

              • anonym

                It's about optics with the F mount. Lynx, you're not careful. Have you even bothered to read a few lines that I wrote above? And what does the rangefinder have to do with it? It turns out like Zadornov’s:
                - Fresh yogurt?
                - Pear.

            • Lynx

              Once again, since you accuse me of inattention, you have to repeat again:
              1. Df was not meant to be either “easier” or “less”. It was meant to be retro.
              2. to him and SO all native objects fit, there is no need for "mirrorless".
              3. he and SO are taken for the sake of working with the old Nikon manuals.
              4. The fashion is not mirrorless, but the retro style.
              5. So the Nikon Df mirrorless is generally unnecessary.

              • anonym

                Lynx, can I ask you one personal question? Are you a teacher by any chance? I understand, of course, offtopic, but still?
                PS In no way intends to offend.

            • Lynx

              Let's just say - there is considerable experience in this.

        • varezhkin

          Where does this epidemic come from? What is bad about him?

          • Lynx

            yes there is no epidemic. Just the niches of the mirror were occupied by Nikon and Canon, the rest also needed to go somewhere. The mirrorless, like the old rangefinders, has its pros and cons compared to the mirror. Separate niche photo.
            ....
            The main “bad” about a mirrorless is still focusing. Either not too hastily, but exactly, like Fuja, or quickly but inaccurately, like Olik, or “completely don't understand how” - Sonya.

            • varezhkin

              :)

            • Kotofalk

              Hmm .. Well, okay, hi will be “inaccurate”, ale, like I’m just knowing the reportage, does it matter the concert if there is not enough illumination?) річ.

              • Lynx

                As a bi nemati, I understand why you should bother with this presentation, as if that job is more obvious than IMHA randomly, like fairy tales are libidinal

  • Ivan Wolverine

    since the discussion of photographic equipment without performance characteristics is the same as making love without a lady, then I offer you data on the topic ...

    • Maugli

      I wonder why do you think this line with the link “Technical news can be viewed on the official website.” Under the picture?

      • Arkady Shapoval

        Vasili-photo.com knows better what is in the middle :)

        • Jury

          No, he knows where to leave links :)

    • Lynx

      Muahaha ... the dude is promoting a school-assembled site at the expense of joy?

  • Gene jb

    here the main thing as in the 70D: Autofocus in Live View: phase.
    then the video will focus normally.

    • Alexander

      Who buys a TV camera for video? What nonsense? What is it called “anyhow it was”?

      • Gene jb

        Do you know a lot of this class of photographers who shoot 4k?

        • Oleg

          Why? Somehow the program “Inspector” came across on “Friday”, so there are two people from different angles filming a video, even the lens was examined kenon 24-105. But the camera is most likely 6d. Cheap and cheerful for such consumer goods

      • Novel

        It's elementary ... Those who have no money for Red / Arri, but want to shoot “something like a movie”, they buy.

  • Lynx

    Yes, the design has become dull.

  • grandfather

    An insidious bandura-made with a stone ax inspired by the Fukushima accident.

  • Oleg

    And what exactly is wrong with the case?
    Maybe there is a desire to cut down the pentaprism, saw off the battery pack, make a red carcass (the competitor has such solutions) or polka dots, see the inscription Nikon.
    What beauty do you want to see in a classic professional mirror?

    • Lynx

      good, harsh beauty.
      Polka dots, in red, would be nice!

      • Yarkiya

        Harsh red peas! I would like to take a look at this. Angri birds come to mind.

    • Peter Sh.

      If they painted, for example, a kangaroo on a carcass, then everyone would look at the kangaroo. Nobody would notice any cones and dimples. And so, there’s nothing to look at.

  • Vladimir

    A great machine is coming. Soon films and videos will be shot on it.
    An important step forward from Canon is the installation of a Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor.
    Autofocus when shooting video promises to be the fastest and quietest with STM lenses.
    But there are very few STM lenses for a full frame (40mm and 50mm). We look forward to the early appearance of new ones! It looks like a fix approach: 85mm / 1,8 STM. Time will tell.

  • Pedro Picasso

    Phew, hack. The Kenon authorities summoned the chapters. engineer (well, after the release of D5), and said, spitting saliva that he would fire.
    As a result, we get this, the same Kenon egg, only on the side.

  • Oleg

    New items from kenon and nikon go toe-to-toe with kenon slightly higher rate of fire at nikon workers iso. Again, in the article above, it is written correctly that all pictures taken on ISO above 25600 will be noisy on both cameras. And the value of 3280000 is more like the same race for megapixels from the manufacturers they are of little use. It's hard to imagine shooting a wedding or fashion on ISO 25600, but rather use additional light sources. For nature, there is a tripod for long exposures. In the report above 25600 purely “sho-boulo” just to capture

    • Novel

      For most reporting tasks and a worker, the 6400 is usually enough for the eyes.

      • Oleg

        Yes, and I just about 3280000 something like a battle of megapixels. Millions, that is, but they really need

      • Fedor

        A novel, and 12-15 megapixels are enough for a spread of a glossy magazine. ISO for those photos generally does not rise above 200-400. For reporting 7 Mpixels and 6400 ISO "behind the eyes". so what is now to boycott scientific and technological progress?
        Today, 25600 are certainly working on TOP cameras, and seven years ago on the same Nikon D3 it was today's three lemas.

        • Novel

          And the concept of a "worker" ISO is also different for everyone. Two colleagues (both of them have 5D IIs) almost got into a fight due to the fact that one 3200 is unconditionally working, and the second already sees wild noises for 200 ...
          So to each his own

        • Oleg

          In no case do not boycott. Cameras are slowly expanding horizons: kenon in the rate of fire nikon in workers and
