Countdown for the coming Nikon cam

[Little_Zeus]

wah, nikon has learnt from canon.
speed up the time cycle to release new model.

But strange haven seen any CMOS video cam around.

u haven't seen the sony video cams yet? they r around... but so far only sony has it first.

as for lower high ISO noise on the CMOS, at the point of this writing, only Canon can pull it off. i haven't seen other makes using CMOS, big or small, has lower noise at high ISO than the Canon. :lovegrin:

 

[lsisaxon]

might be a D50s? Hard to say ya.. but its seen that D50 come out for quite some time already..:dunno:

Cannot be D50s because the sensor MP count is different.

Compare detail levels also.. Canon is known to smooth all the fine details out very nicely.

You are right. In general, CCD is actually better for converting light into electricity and in general, less noisy than most CMOS. However, Canon invested a lot of $$$ to make their CMOS especially good and less noisy. They were also the first as they were the late comers, having no major investment in CCD, while other like Sony were already on CCD and switching to CMOS would cost $$$ (that is why D2X/D2Xs are using CMOS).

Due to patents being a barrier to competition, Canon uses it to their advantage. Others must either improve CCD or make alternative method of improving CMOS like Foveon (3 layer CMOS).

As someone had said in another thread and a posting above, hope a Fuji sensor instead of Sony. From what I've read... most people feel Fuji gives better colours.

19 days from today... :think: (9th August !!!)

Would our govt be giving all citizens this in its goodie bag :dunno:

:think: Hmmm good way to give the surplus... :bsmilie:

This is because the noise reduction circuit built onto the sensor already did the 1st round of noise removal. Whether this is prefered depends on the scenarios of use.

does not look like a probody from it's size.
seems more like an upgraded version of the D200.
maybe a D200s

Yeah... but not to my preference..

1st this will be the D80 (confirmed)
Price ?. Nikon still considering what to price it at, most likely $2199
Other info!!..... Please wait.

 

[Kaijiew]

most likely will be D80, just for fun :bsmilie:

 

[simon80]

if no VG i still stick to D200 if i got $

 

[Big Kahuna]

It doesn't excite me at all becoz this will make my D70 2 generations older

It sucks at that pricing, esp if without Body.

Without Body??? You mean D80 lense??? :bsmilie: I agree it a bit expensive for a body onli. :embrass:

 

[longkangman]

battery grip. :dunno:

 

[Dennis]

Unlikely to have grip I think. :dunno:

battery grip. :dunno:

i think all camera brands should follow the same sequence of naming their bodies...namely:

BBB1, BBB2, BBB3, .......... and so forth.
