Nikon Pure Photography

<p>teaser video #2<br>

?? <br />Looks like it is Inside some half case</p><div></div>

[CvhKaar]

<p>Refreshing... Nobody wants Rumours on this website...unless... they are started by Nikon ?? :-)</p>

<p>BTW, those teaser pics , to me, look like nikon film camera's with a "digital Back" attached to it...:-)</p>

[pge]

<p>They are certainly ramping things up with these teaser videos. The camera got much more screen time in this second one. About the size of an F3, a black leather strap that says nikon on it, and of course a silver ring on the lens. hmmm</p>

[jose_angel]

<p>Nikon is getting his own way... in this second teaser they caught me. This size of camera, with a good sensor and lens compatability could be highly appealing to me. </p>

<p>The silver ring on the lens... on a metal barrel it`s ok. But I wonder about it on a plastic lens...</p>

[jose_angel]

<p>The strap looks cheap... not the one I used to have in my hands...</p>

[mrp-images]

<p>I would bet that Nikon is going to release the answer to Sony's A7 full frame mirrorless camera.</p>

[jose_angel]

<p>Me too.</p>

[ilkka_nissila]

<p>I think the silver ring may be simply what exists on some Ai and Ai-S lenses. I don't think it is necessarily an addition related to the camera itself, though can't be sure.</p>

[thomas_k.]

<p>Lens with silver ring could be one of still current AIS manual focus nikkors. 8 manual focus AIS lenses are still listed as current (still manufactured?) on nikon website including 50mm f1.2.</p>

<p>Not something new though - think Nikon Series E lenses: plastic barrel and with a "chrome" ring (at least the later versions).</p>

<p>They say "pure photography"<br>

What is impure photography?<br>

By the way, they dont say "pure camera"</p>

[pge]

<p>Here is what the new camera look like beside my Nikon FE with a 50mm lense.</p><div></div>

[mike_halliwell]

<p>'This' camera looks really, REALLY.. WIDE! Way wider than the FE...!</p>

<p>Some kinda new 72 x 24 format?</p>

<p>All the teaser videos have been really wide-angle views...big WIDE glacier-carved glens.....big WIDE river scene with 2 fisherman and a big WIDE river??</p>

[keirst]

<p>I think the model/actor has a narrow face, so it may not be that big. <br /><br />I hope they make a 36MP or higher res version some day. 16MP is too small for the kind of high detail landscapes I am mainly doing.</p>

<p>No, but they do say something that at least suggests a <em>camera</em>, pure or otherwise:</p>

<p>"Soon, it will be in your hands again. . ."</p>

Maybe they need the width in the body for the electronics. I don't think you could get even a basic DSLR to run on a button cell battery</p>

[john_hinkey]

<p>When you look at the tear down photos at IFIXIT of the D600 the circuit board is quite large, so the width is probably required for a similar-sized board.</p>

<p>My idea of a "pure" camera in the context of our favorite and familiar old film era toys would include user-controlled presets for in-camera JPEGs. It'd save a lot of time if I could plug in my favorite Lightroom presets (or, for other folks, Nik, DxO or other effects). And the raw files are still available in case we change our minds. Best of film and digital all in one.</p>

<p>I like in-camera JPEG effects and "art fiters". I just want to be able to choose my own, rather than be limited to whatever the manufacturer provides.</p>

<p>The first manufacturer to offer this feature wins the "pure" camera game.</p>

<p>Lex, I like that idea, combined with raw files, as you say. I don't know how "pure" it would be, but it could sure save some time in post.</p>

<p>Lannie:</p>

<p>I don't know how any photography can be at this point but that is the fun of it. I doubt I will be alive ten years from now but it should be interesting to see how those that are look at the perspective we have now. I think this is what the whole thing ia about.</p>

<p>-Cheers</p>

<p>Something like that may indeed be possible with the Samsung Galaxy NX. Just need to write an app for that...<br>

[jose_angel]

<p>Phil, where did you get this image? Is it reliable? The one I took from the Nikon`s site doesn`t have that detail.</p>

 

[CvhKaar]

<p>MM The frame that xhows the lens also shows a little black cover on the right topside of the lens.These little caps are found on older camera models like the F801S (n8008) and protect the two pin connector for accesories... </p><div></div>

[Gup]

<p>Here's a better look at the length of the guy's finger. <br>

Can teaser three be far off?</p><div></div>

[donbright]

<p>Maybe the camera in the ad is just a prop.</p>
