Latest one.
"For about 30 minutes, the sales rep talked to the assembled audience about Nikon's latest offering which is to be unveiled on Monday, March 5th at PMA:
- Full Frame (no 1.1 crap) - DX mode at 1.5x - High Speed Crop - VERY fast motor drive (can't remember the number he quoted, but when he fired it, it sounded at least as fast as my F5 on CH. - 18.7 MB - MSRP $7999 - No H and X models anymore, just the one D3 - D2xs will continue to sell. - Dimensions and weight were mentioned, but I don't remember the minutae. Suffice to say, the camera looked to be roughly the same size as the D2 series."
Find out tomorrow if it is true.

So many is talking about Nikon FF, wonder how many will buy a over $10k camera here.

For about 10 minutes, I held my breadth.
Yes, the rumours "circulating elsewhere" is about the 1.1 crap. Yes, the support for existing DX users is a must -- I insist.
However, the pricing is beyond me; at least for the moment (damn; my 6 numbers on Friday weren't the winning ones).
Nevertheless, if it's true, it's a very good piece of news. For Nikon to finally come of age.

another evidence of how nikon take care of backward compatibility. if it is some other brands, they probably won't.
Good news to Nikon users.
Monday in Singapore time? Or Japanese Time / American Time ?
sooner or later nikon w separate pros and amatuer w difference between DX and FF or 1.1 crop. the price gap will be there too.
current system so strong already why need new new new all the time. if there is, good for us, if not the current system is still strong. there is still time for a better upgrade than one then is just increase LCD size and interface!
just like film days...only the pro model SLR like F5, F100 has mirror lock up....even 90x which later becomes a 'pro' model cos so many pros use it also don have mirror lock up...kinda of miss my 90x suddenly....
