New Expeed chip to boost video?

[Spectra]

Nikon rumours are reporting that a new Nikon Expeed chip "that will be able to deliver some insane frame rates and video capabilities" is to be implemented in their rumoured mirrorless camera.....

Hopefully we get to see this processor in their next gen DSLR's too along with 24/25/30P frame rates being implemented (24/50/60P even better) in ALL their new DSLR's also.

I am hoping this new chip will see improved scaling algorithms implemented (rather than current pixel binning) to reduce aliasing/moire and a higher bandwidth for the video codec would also be certain to improve video performance... a faster frame readout from the sensor to improve rolling shutter artefacts is hopefully also on the agenda....with Nikons good low light/high ISO performance and the DR chracteristics of their current sensors it means Nikon could finally produce a very good hybrid still/video camera.

A RAW video codec still remains my number one wish for a future Nikon DSLR...but with increasing megapixels being demanded by still photogs this is becoming harder to implement.....I reckon around 10MP would be the sweet spot for a RAW video implementation whilst allowing enough resolution to capture exceptional still images.....dare to dream :thumbsup:

If it can shoot for one hour straight in a dark room without overheating then it wins for me. A versatile workhorse

It would be a real plus to be able to shoot action videos at 60 or 120fps.

The V1 does up our expectations for Video.
It shoots the optimum 10mp but so far the stills are terrible.

I am still waiting for the D400 or better yet D800.
and a silent 10-100 FX lens
