Nikon first came into the camera market in 1948 with the Nikon 1. It remains at the top of the market today within an extremely competitive market. Photography is coming into fashion and now everyone seems to be an up and coming keen photographer. With the introduction of the digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera's, photography has really taken off. Nikon is set to be at the top of the DSLR market with their anticipated release of the Nikon D800 SLR, set to revolutionize the industry.
For a long time now, Nikon fans have been trying to predict what and when their next big release will be. For a long time it was thought to be the D800 but new rumors and speculation is saying it will be the Nikon D4 to be released first!
Nikon vs Canon is the Apple vs PC of the photography world. Both leaders in their field, Nikon is rumored to bring out the D4 in response to Canons 1DX. The way the aim to do this is with an astonishing 16.28 mega-pixel sensor, native ISO of 100 - 104,200 with the capability to expand up to 50 and 204,800. Interestingly this is double that of Canon's 1DX! The D4 will also boast an 11fps shooting mode.
Here is what we can expect to see in Nikon's new D4. But remember, with Nikon who knows what cats they will pull out of the bag to get a leg up on Canon!

The Nikon D4 has one more featured aspect that is known to be released. That is the capability to receive CompactFlash's new XQD memory card along with the standard CF card. This new card is of course aimed at the professional end of the DSLR market boasting a 125 megabyte write speed. CompactFlash were lucky to withstand the massive market take over by SD cards and aims to regain some ground with this slightly bulkier and sturdier card.
