D3?
hope to get the Colour & D range of the SCCD of fuji, better Noise control at ISO 3200, FF plus shooting at a rate of 12 FPS at raw up to 90. Can D3 make it? I dont really think so.Maybe the D5 can make all this happen. But when? Nikon R&D in Digital world are really slow, too slow.
During the flim time, Nikon really rock, but in Digital world, they really have a lot to catch up esp compare to Canon.
Also, they pay too much attation on their zoom lens & their prime lens are left behind.
The world are moving too fast now, if Nikon can't catch up, more & more pro will be moving to Canon.
Yes, i agree the skill of the photographer is important. During film time,tools dont really matter. Cos no matter which system u r using, u can choose which film to be use. U depend on yourself on focuing on the subject you wanted to shoot.
But in this new age Digital world, tools really count. Cos the CCD is equal to the flim that u are using, you can't change the CCD like u change the type of flim. U depend on AF instead of MF, so how fast the lens & the cam work together does count.
frankly speaking, if anyone ask me which syatem to choose, i will say Canon, cos they do have a upper hand in Digital world.
JUst my personal view, hope no offence to all Nikon fans. BTW, I am on Nikon system too.

Somehow, I beg to differ. Somehow, for some reason or another which I don't even know myself, the images which I somehow don't quite comes mostly from Canon. Maybe it's the blown highlights, the tone curve? I don't know. I feel that the most pleasant images still comes from Olympus and Nikon.
So what if you've got a technically superior system that give you images which you can hardly use straight out of the camera?
I still believe that photography is not about MP count, not about the format size, not so much about ISO which Canon claims superior. It's more about faithfully reproducing what the photographer intended and I feel that the Nikon system is able to give me that confidence.
I agree and like what you just said ................ :thumbsup:
When they are due to announce the release of the new body is anybody's guess .......
In the meantime should I just go with a D80 or hijack an S5 Pro ........ I am returning to the Darkside :devil:
Despite several warnings and infraction. You still persist in giving flaming remarks, in this instance against members who started threads and discussion on 70-200mmVR calling them "techno zealot" Such behavior runs contrary to CS Term of Use.

While it may be true that many wouldn't even need a DSLR, let alone an FF, it's nevertheless a welcome move long awaited by Nikon followers.
Needs and wants are very personal... affordability is one thing; dreaming of owning one is another.
Not everyone needs a fast car to run around a traffic-lights laden city like our city; I don't mind having a Ferrari.
Not everyone needs condo living / lifestyle; give me Sentosa Cove anytime.
Times change -- needs maybe -- dreams seldom do.
My $5/-

this is the best reply in this thread. :thumbsup: I salut you for that!
Obviously, not. :sticktong I don't care for FF and don't care what Nikon is going to produce next.
From http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos400d/page19.asp
"The EOS 400D delivered around 0.3 EV (a third of a stop) more dynamic range than the competition. As mentioned above this was primarily in highlight range which (assuming the same exposure) would enable it to better capture areas of the image which may otherwise be overexposed. It's also clear from the graph below that Canon are using a tone curve which will produce a more gradual roll-off to highlights (Nikon in particular tend to use a more contrasty tone curve)."

Bravo! Well said and I can't agree with you more.
I've actually sold off almost all my Nikon equipment and on the waiting list for 1dm3 but after trying it out on EOS day and looking at the hundred over pictures captured... totally disappointed and lost confidence in what was produced out of the "technically superior" system... :thumbsd:
I'm getting back all my faithful Nikon equipments and will wait patiently for the announcement of the new camera
I'm joining you bro...once again, the power of the DARK side prevails...:devil:
my goodess, you run one big round to come back to Nikon, it must be a painful experience.Bravo! Well said and I can't agree with you more.

Agree totally to your POV.
Yes, canon maybe somewhat deem better in the technological race, but the images in terms of reproduction faithfulness is lacking.
Images taken from Nikon system ( when tuned correctly ) produced better colour reproduction.
I have processed images from these two groups. You got to really see and compared it yourselves. :thumbsup:
Color accuracy of Nikon cameras after saturation correction:
D2Xs - mean = 4.62, stdev = 5.48
D200 - mean = 6.69, stdev = 8.02
D80 - mean = 5.6, stdev = 6.65
D40 - mean = 6.57, stdev = 7.97
Color accuracy of Canon cameras after saturation correction:
5D - mean = 4.98, stdev = 6.68
30D - mean = 4.77, stdev = 6.55
400D - mean = 4.7, stdev = 5.83
NB: The greater the mean value, the greater the deviation from true color.
