The Nikon D5 is rumored to have a native high ISO of 102,400 and 4k video | Nikon Rumors

Might be of interest for Ricoh users since it talks about Fujitsu image processors.

"Regarding the Nikon D5 processor and 4k video: for the past few years the Nikon Expeed image processor was based on the Fujitsu Milbeaut ISP. On March 1st 2015, Fujitsu transferred its System LSI business to Socionext Inc. Shortly after the transfer, Socionext announced a new MN2WS03101A chip with 4k video capabilities:"

"Socionext is a new company established by the consolidation of the system LSI businesses of Fujitsu Limited and Panasonic Corporation. It has a track record of development and delivery of products for various video applications. Socionext is now sampling 4K HEVC real-time encoder MB86M31. Together with MN2WS03101A, the company will support total video solution for a wide range of applications."

About time for Nikon to tackle 4K, so that should be interesting. Hopefully Pentax doesn't lag too far behind.

It also looks like the sensor will be made by a company other than Sony. Toshiba? The 24MP APS-C Toshiba sensor is pretty good.

Yup, I think Nikon has been using Toshiba sensors for a while, but I don't follow the matter that closely.

The Toshiba 24MP sensor is reported to produce banding in the shadows when heavily processed. Thom Hogan, a well known Nikon reviewer has reported this and has sample images. It requires heavy processing though for it to show up.

I think they might have gone back to Sony with the D7200.

If Nikon bring some of these specs to the upcoming d400, I would be one happy camper
