More Nikon D800 bits and pieces

nikon d700 viewfinder More Nikon D800 bits and piecesThe AF and viewfinder coverage of the current D700 will be improved with the D800
Just few more updates on the Nikon D800 specs:
  • 100% viewfinder coverage (Nikon D700 has “only” 95% frame coverage).
  • Improved AF with face recognition – not sure yet what this means exactly, but the D800 will not have the same 51 points AF system as in the D700 and D3s.
  • I was also able to confirm the dual memory card slots but I am still not sure if they will be SD, CF or both (the initial specs mentioned SD+CF).
  • USB 3.0 - there is talk that Nikon has been purchasing USB 3.0 chips for some time.

I am still trying to confirm the remaining details and get some additional info. The initial set of specs seems to be accurate (so far the info I published matches with the specs).
Yes, 36MP is a lot, but keep in mind that Nikon has to stay competitive in the future since they will probably not replace and will continue to sell this camera for another 4 years.
