Nikon D3 Teaser

More and more material on the Nikon D3 have started to re-surface again and this time it's from Japan. It's a teaser showing the outline of the new Nikon D3 with some Japanese (Kanji) character saying the following:

Highly accurate 51 points Autofocus system

9 Frame per second (fps)

Wide view angle - 3 inch TFT LCD with a screen resolution of 920,000 pixels.

So far the rumored teaser on the Nikon D3 sounds pretty impressive. The screen resolution is much higher than Canon's top of the range 10 mega pixel EOS 1D Mark III which has a total of 230,000 pixels in their 3 inch screen. The 51 point autofocus is also impressive compared to Canon with 19 cross-type auto focus plus 26 assist autofocus point.

The only comparable feature is the fps speed which is 9 fps for Nikon compared to 10 fps for Canon.

This is going to be a great year in DSLR with the impending release of the Canon 40D, Olympus E-P1, Sony Alphas and the Nikon D300 and D3.
