Answer to Graham's question is .... There is no AA filter.

http://petapixel.com/2016/01/09/i-shot-with-the-nikon-d500-here-are-my-thoughts/

"No Optical Low-Pass Filter

Part of the reason for the fantastic image quality the D500 produces is a result of the sensor design. The D500 ditches the optical low-pass filter, which is a great decision for 99% of the photographers who will use this camera.

Low-pass filters apply a minute level of blurring at the sensor level — the reason for them is to reduce moir© patterns, artifacts that can cause false color or false detail at the pixel level. The downside to low-pass filters is that in order to reduce moir© patterns in the rare instances they do appear in real-world shooting, they sacrifice the sharpest details 100% of the time.

By leaving out the low-pass filter, the D500 is able to deliver extremely crisp detail and make the absolute most out of the 20mp sensor. This is the same decision that Nikon has made with the Nikon D810, which I think signals a favorable trend of really delivery maximum detail and clarity."

I was just idly sitting here wondering what the upgrade to the D500 will be called?

We've already had a D600, D700 and D800.... so I guess it will be the D900 .......or something else entirely.

On past performance it will be some years before I have that question answered.o.O

Or next year if the find a shutter problem like with the D600.
:lol:

Or they could call it a D400 to satisfy those who missed the D500.
:-)

D510? That gives them another 9 bites of that cherry... After that 'The EU' will probably dictate product names.

You are allowed to opt out of any EU rules that you dont want to implement in your country.  Unfortunately the UK government seems to not understand this part.

I have to say that I don't like the 510,520 approach to model numbering...it somehow lessens the new model, making it seem more like a fault correction release, like the 610!

Don't get me started on the EU.

:banghead:

They could go to a different naming convention e.g. FX1 and FX10 and DX1 and DX10.
The X is for the neXt generation.

I could live with the old DX prefix...I wonder if they went away from that, so as not to confuse the DX v FX sensor size implications?

Incidentally......the D750 has an AA filter! That may influence the decision in your D500 or D750 quandary.

Agreed but they dug themselves into a corner now.

Now would I do that? We don't need to worry now anyway, that nice Mr Cameron has it all agreed... Everything will be rosy now. Not sure if we will get our pound shillings and pence back though. Feet and inches would be nice. :devil: :hardhat: :diggingahole:

Thanks JK great news. I will now watch for a few reports and reviews. Also let the first batchs and high prices calm down a bit before I put my order in.
