Nikon is currently working towards bringing out the successor of the Nikon D800, which the media has dubbed the D800s, although the name hasn't been officially confirmed.

Like Nikon D4s, which is just a minor update over the previous Nikon D4 and the D800s will sport minor improvements when it finally makes an appearance into the wild on June 2014, says TheNewCamera.

According to word on the street, the new D800s will come with a 36MP full-frame sensor with no optical low pass filter, the same we saw the D800 arrive with.

The camera will boast an Expeed 4 imaging processor, 3.2-inch 921k-Dot LCT Monitor and will allow for a high sensitivity mode: 50-51200. So we can consider the 800s will be one step up the latter compared to its predecessor, due to the presence of the new image processor.

On top of that, the camera will bring about 4 center autofocus points, built-in GPS and 5fps capability (or 6fps with the MB-D12). Note, there’s no built-in Wi-Fi.

As far as pricing goes, the Nikon D800s is expected to sell for around $3,296 / €2,403 but we’ll know more once the official announcement comes. Expect that to happen in the last week of June 2014.
