catman161 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Sounds cool. Great that you can do long exposure built in without having to use external software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Wow, looks like they are all going for the high mega pixels, see this thread which somebody posted about 50 mega pixel Cannons.... http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/9446-2-new-high-end-canon-cameras-announced/ Makes you wonder how much PC power you would need to stack 36 or 50 mega pixel pictures?

Pretty cool indeed, check out the Nikon website some very nice photos taken with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyaardvark Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Does look very nice and good to see Nikon getting in on the astro scene a bit more. What a price though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 What a price indeed. £3K ? When the 810 is £600 less......you can almost hear them thinking "they're astronomers....they've got plenty of £££' ! Be interesting to see how it performs against Canons 60 DA, which was roughly a third of the cost. Johnnyaardvark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
