I believe that like the D2 legacy, D3 will not stop at just D3. Soon D3x...D3xs will follow suit... If I intend to get the D3 series, I'll hold out for the upgrades rather than buying the D3first.

From the specs, it seemed that other than full frame, higher burst rate, dual CF slots and some other features, the diff between D3 and D300 is very little. It is from there that I presume D3 will expand, maybe more MP or something like dat.

For me, D300 ROCKS! It is much better than 40D IMHO!!! 51 AF Points!!!! 3 inch 922k resolution LCD and up to 8fps...WOW! Sure will eat battery life like mad;p

i share the same sentiments. D300 looks good. But.... our friendly competitor 5D has FF.
So i would expect sometime mid next year for a d300s or d400 or sth like that to have FF at a sub $5000 price.

brings up an interesting question....

D2Xs or D300... :dunno:

I got my D2H over the D200 because of the CAM 2000
but now the D300 has a CAM 3500....

The 51-point (15 cross type) CAM3500 seems more superior comparted the the one on D2Hs & D2Xs.

The new Trinity is going to be 14-24/2.8, 24-70/2.8, and the existing 70-200/2.8!

I beg to differ.... with the new FX format
I think the 17-35 may still be the choice for many...

 

[ortega]

yes 17mm on FX is already very wide

 

[Big Kahuna]

Donno happy or sad, I guess my D70 can donate to National museum soon......period....it's time to go Geyland and sell backsite :cry:
