Nikon announces 36-megapixel camera - Telegraph The D800, which will be released in Britain by the end of March, is aimed at high-end enthusiasts and professional photographers and will cost more than £2,000. The camera can also film full-HD 1080p video and includes the Advanced Recognition System used in Nikon's top-of-the-range D4. It's weather resistent too and has a 3.2-inch LCD screen that adjusts its brightness using an ambient light sensor. The 36-megapixel camera produces images that, in TIFF format, are around 212-megabytes, compared with around 3MB for a typical mobile phone photograph. While 36-megapixels is a lot for a digital camera - Nikon says it's the highest for any commercial DSLR - it is not unheard of. Hasselblad launched a 39-megapixel camera in 2006 and there have been cameras built for special purposes that feature more than 500-megapixels. The D800 weighs slightly more than 1kg and has an in-built flash. Nikon will also release a D800E, which disables some of the light filtering on the D800, and is better for artistic or landscape photography. The D800E will be released in April.
