Rumour has it that Nikon may be launching a D5 this year - does anybody know if this is likely to happen? :?:

That would be a surprise. It's hardly a consumer-level camera that has to be upgraded every 12 months. Maybe they'll add a feature that makes it easier to take selfies. :D

Look for it next winter. Nikon typically releases it Pro models in time for the next summer Olympics.

So, Carter: What do you expect it to have in the way of upgrades over the D4S?
Thanks,

There's also been a rumour that Nikon may announce when it is to be introduced.

There's a rumor that someone has started a rumor about a new top-of-the-line Nikon DSLR.

Sensor resolution will be increased, at least 18 or 20MP. Frame rate will go to 15 or 16 fps for sure. I expect full 4K video with in-camera recording ability via a type of "hybrid" Expeed processor. Probably over 150 AF points with 30-50 being cross-type. Pretty much total darkness shooting ability due to extreme ISO range not yet seen in digital cameras. It may get CF Fast card capability for the 4K recording. The XQD card slot might disappear. I doubt the body will change significantly unless Nikon chooses to go with an SSD slot instead of the CF Fast technology, but it MIGHT lighten up a little by using Titamium or even some of the D750's carbon fiber components, if the new upgrades cause any significant weight gains. Lastly, I expect the body to possibly get the tilt screen of the D750 to aid in the operation of the new 4K video feature.
These are all just "guesses" on my part based on the direction that Nikon, and the DSLR industry as a whole, has gone since the D4's came out.

You are right about what to expect. There are rumors on the net about a native ISO up to 102.400 and expandable ISO to more than ISO 1.000.000 That would be the first camera ever with that high ISO. As you say, pretty much total darkness capabilities. Also 173 focus points and 15 fps and 4K video and around 20 mpx sensor. So it seems like it will be a nice little camera :D
And the rumors say it will be launched at the end of this year or early next year. Like you say Olympic games are the event Nikon adjusts its new pro camera launches to. It is not funny as some think, but practical as pro shooters want to upgrade their worn out old gear for those events and then they will buy the newest and best equipment available. If Nikon launches this new D5 about 6 months before the Olympics they should be able to keep up with demand in time for the games.

Why would a professional sports photographer need more than 10 fps when shooting sports?

To keep up the numbers game with canon.
Why would anyone need ISO One Million? :shock:
