Nikon is believed to be at the final stages with the development of its brand new D6 DSLR camera which will succeed the D5 launched three years back. Needless to say, the D6 is rumored to come with a host of enhancements that will make it a more updated model compared to the D5.
Among the new features rumored to be included in the D6 is its ability to shoot 4K videos at 60 fps. It’s not known how long it will be able to shoot at that setting at a stretch given that the D5 could pull the feat for a max of 30 mins. Also, the D5 could shoot 4K videos at 30 fps while the shooting time too was capped at 3 mins initially before it was stretched to 30 mins post a firmware update.
The new D6 is also speculated to come with a 24 mp full frame sensor, which again would mark an improvement over the 20.8 mp sensor that the D5 featured. Plus, there likely is going to be an integrated sensor stabilization feature as well. The same is expected to have a manual exposure time of at least 120 seconds.

Further, with its intended positioning as a sports camera, the new D6 is said to have a burst speed of 14fps. That apart, the D6 is also reported to come with dual image processors which will enhance the autofocus performance of the camera besides also offering silent shooting modes as well.
