I am not in the habit to debate and will not. I will end with this simple statement not only for you but also to others contemplating. It's your call and it doesn't not affect this forum or anyone of us here. The world will still move on and go by.

Agreed ,,, :thumbsup:

No issues, I am also ending with my earlier statement which would serve as a good mirror against the examples you have given As you said, its up to each individual to read and draw his own view and opinion. No one affects anyone with forum messages nor will the world stop spinning because of forum messages.

They must be facing immense pressure from Canon - the 40D and 1DSMKIII looks damn good...very tempted to do the illogical act now...

I don't think Nikon is facing any pressure form Canon. It's the Nikon shooters who are facing pressure from the Canon shooters. Why bother when you're already making great images with what you have now? ;p

I think it is called peer pressure resulting from penis envy.

They better fast otherwise I will jump ship soon! ;p

Jump lo. Sell your camera and lenses to people who want to upgrade for cheap. :bsmilie:

I don't know is it just me. But the dark side has some devious plans. I feel that the 40D's reign will be a short one. Very short one. Same goes for 1ds mk3. They just passed the initiative to Nikon since all the specs are revealed.

save the BEST :thumbsup: for last

 

[lastboltnut]

Hey! All jump ship lah! Flood the B&S and i will grab&grab!;p:bsmilie:

 

[arpinkor]

Anyway, back on topic. 2 more days before this thread kena locked, and we all move over to the new "D3 Officially Announced !!!!!!!" thread. :bsmilie:

Nikon should. Nikon is not a charitable organisation. If she doesn't come up with something to keep her current users and attract new users, you'll see her downfall in no time.

Man is never satisfied with whatever they currently have. Not everyone thinks in the same way like you would too.

Anyway, I came across what's posted on DPReview's forums 2 days ago:

Nikon will make an announcement on 8/23 1PM JST in Tokyo.

Two new DSLRs.

D3
- FX format (Full frame) 12Mpixel CMOS made by Nikon
- 9 fps in FF mode, 11 fps in HSC mode
- HSC is done at 1.5 crop factor (meaning DX size)
- ISO 200 - 6400 with LO (iso100 equiv), H1 and H2 (iso 12800/25600 respectively)

D300
- DX format 12Mpixel CMOS (most likely same as D2X)
- 6 fps and boost to 8 fps with power grip (no HSC mode)
- ISO 200 - 3200 with LO (iso100 equiv), H1 (iso 6400)

D3 and D300 share the same AF system. 51 AF points. 15 of them are cross sensor.
Supports live view mode. Switch to contrast based AF in live view mode.

Five new lenses.

- AF-S 14-24/2.8 G
- AF-S 24-70/2.8 G
- AF-S VR 400/2.8 G
- AF-S VR 500/4 G
- AF-S VR 600/4 G

How can that be since the format is different?

 

[Bernard Ong]

The specs on the D3 is a bit weird. Well, lets just wait till 23 August and see how it goes. I guess most prob its just a rumour.

 

[arpinkor]

It might be like how the D1 got the F5's AF system. :dunno:

 

[Bernard Ong]

hmmmmm , 14-24mm f/2.8 can be nice.

 

[Chris Lim]

:bsmilie: im looking forward to maybe... multi-cam3000?

 

[jimbok]

I would prefer a 10-20mm over a 14-24mm. Come on Nikon, give us ultra wide angle!
