Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
from what I've been hearing it looks like they've been working on a medium format type solution in a traditional body. 48x48mm sensor and new line of lenses to accommodate the .5x factor of the new sensor. I have not seen or heard any rumors related to price. So unless this is sub $5,000 and won't compress my spine from the weight, I'm not interested.
Pretty neat. Now if they can just improve the video on the D90. Maybe even release a line of full frame digital cinema cameras to compete with RED and Canon.

(just a beginner... I get excited when I can read even simple words...)
やっぱり大きいっすね～
陰茎？
why do we think this is MF again? i'm not too sure, but the sensor doesn't look larger than FX to me

it would certainly be very interesting, but could 'big' not just indicate more megapixels? maybe this is an ad for the D3X?
Look at the lens throat - it's much closer to the grip than that on the D3. Not that that means much, but it could be a new mount system for larger imaging circle lenses...
ah, got it, I see what you're saying
it'll be interesting to see what they come up with :)
Judging from the reflection in the mirror it is definitely not a square (48x48mm) sensor.
If it's 48mmx48mm then the FX (35mm)-type lenses won't be usable on the camera. The image circle on each lens barely covers the entire 35mm frame. If the sensor was any larger it will mean a whole new class of lenses need to be made. That said, I'll be in line to get one and I'll sell my 'blads in a heartbeat.
Nikon's recent PC lenses have at least a 48mm x 48mm imaging circle, although they have a traditional F-mount. Gah... Nikon, whatever it is you got up your sleeve, I am one rather disappointed D700 owner.
I love my D3, D2x, D2h, D70, and D100.
48mmx48mm would require a bigger mount.
Am I the only one to notice the sensor size has a ratio of 16:9.
Photoshop ruler says it's actually 16:10 :B
16:9.......maybe good for landscape? MF cameras are also preferred for landscapes.
Anyway, I wish Nikon made something smaller like u4/3, not MF. They better no fall too far behind Oly and Samsung (and Sigma, I guess) with their versions of their APS-C (or slightly smaller) point and shoot cameras.
