24 MP Nikon, are you kidding

Jul 20, 2008

Can someone tell me why they think that Nikon will jump from 12 MP up to 21 or 24 MP without first going to 14 or 16 or 18 MP first. Yeah I am aware of Sony coming out with a 21 or 24 MP camera in the fall. But that does not mean that Nikon will throw a fortune out the window.

Do you guys actually think that Nikon will allow millions, and millions, and millions of dollars to go up in smoke by going from 12Mp to 21 or 24 MP. I don't think so.

And if Nikon does come out with a 21 or 24MP camera, it will probably be over $8,000 which is out of question for many of us. And you may have to buy even newer more expensive 24 MP lenses.

Could Nikon match the Sony 24 MP camera, sure. Buy I'd bet almost any thing that you will see a 14 or 16 or 18 MP Nikon too.

Anyone have any fellings about this?
