The Nikon D800 is set to be announced just before the CP+ Camera and Photo Imaging Show in Japan. The date had been reported previously as a new product announcement, but Nikon Rumors has confirmed that the new product will be the much anticipated D800.

The camera will feature a 36MP sensor capable of delivering outstanding detail. It will sit alongside the new flagship D4. The Nikon D800 will be aimed at landscape and studio photographers, as well as those requiring a more compact full-frame camera capable of delivering high resolution images.
