Nikon to unveil its next-generation D4S digital SLR

Slightly odd announcement, Nikon say they are going to unveil their new flagship camera…..really? Were they going to let it sneak out quietly.

Anyway the full specifications are still awaited, the good people over at DP Review seem to have a picture of one and tell us:

As Nikon’s new flagship model, the D4S will offer advances over the Nikon D4 HD-SLR camera, including enhanced image quality enabled with adoption of a new image-processing engine. The new HD-SLR will also feature more advanced autofocusing performance, further solidifying it as the choice for professional sports, nature and event photographers as well as photojournalists.

The D4S represents a concentration of Nikon’s advanced camera development technologies and legacy as a leader in imaging. The D4S will further expand the possibilities for professional photographers who demand the best possible performance and image quality in challenging environments. The Nikon D4S will build upon the success of the acclaimed Nikon D4, a camera highly regarded for its speed, unrivaled low-light ability and amazing image quality that made it the choice of professionals and advanced amateurs around the world.

So not very much really except that it is going to be better. So as Sid would say ’Off the record, On the QT and all very hush-hush’
