Here comes Nikon D200... finally a reality

[Paul_Yeo]

me sooo want to believe you...

but less than $3k seems too good to hope for.

same feeling. less than 3K is like too good to be true!

I guess D200 will be all snapped out very fast!

Not really. Nikon has to face reality that its competitor in the same range, the so-called, "prosumer", is selling its camera around S$2999 street. It has to be better and around the same price. S$2999-S$3599 list (street is from S$2.5-3k) is reasonable.

why? a new camera doesn't make one more competent.... unless it addresses some serious shortcomings (dun think there're any serious issues. the D100 seemed to be a pretty stable product) in existing cameras.

actually two main gripes I have with D100, otherwise its good:

1. Lousy Buffer
2. Low Sync Speed (yes I know D2 series also not much higher, but I like D70's 1/500)

Mine is

1) shutter lag
2) AF (Cam900)
3) Buffer too small
4) 3D MM

Even D50 comes with 1/500 flash sync speed too.;p

In terms of flash sync speed, I actually prefer D2H's and D2X's 1/250s sync speed with the option for highspeed TTL flash sync if needed. This suits my shooting style better (fill-in flash and aperture priority under varying lighting conditions without having to worry that the shutter speed is "maxed" out at 1/500s and resulting in overexposure).

Why not have both? The features are not mutually exclusive...

Let's not debate on this... do a search.

That would be great But Nikon didn't do it for some reason or the other. I still miss the 1/10000s flash sync on my old camera ;p

can go for Kodak Nikon-mount DSLR ;p

 

[Astin]

[Paul_Yeo]

Unmistakable! This is what you get if you do a search as advised by espn.
