Nikon D400 Announcement in September 2013 with Expeed 4 and new AF System

Nikon D400 DSLR camera rumored to be announced in this fall, September 2013. The upcoming DSLR camera expected to deliver a large buffer to process the images captured with newly developed 24MP sensor.

After the announcement of Nikon D7100 camera, Nikon Europe confirmed that D7100 is not positioned to replace the D300s as Nikon’s flagship DX-format camera. So from that moment Nikon D400 rumors surfaced again and the successor of D300s expected to be announced this September.

Nikon engineers have been working on a new generation EXPEED 4 processor for the D400 to handle the buffer size. This also makes movie features and video recording capability of D400 up to 60p in HD.

Nikon is also working on a better and more advanced AF system for the D400, other than the 51-point AF system used on the current D7100. This new AF system is also going to be used  on the Nikon D4s, which is in the works and scheduled to be announced sometime in 2014.
