Nikon D300 / D3 what effect on Canon?

[Redsun]

Let's see.. sony will also probably launch their flagship camera soon (the sensor was a hint)..

Probably they include a PSP inside as well :bsmilie:

Big deal!Canon will come out with a camera with CSC inside. :bsmilie:

Good mah .. especially those long fireworks wait

 

[dEthANGeL]

yeah... but still cannot make coffee leh. ;p

Make coffee abit extreme... maybe press a button - dial pizza hut or KFC more reasonable ..

Anyway, i seriously cannot imagine these 2 cameras 40D / D300 side by side on a store shelf.. how will they be sold and who will bite ... now the gap widens...

A bit over, however I wish something practical like wireless and GPS built into the cam. Maybe with bluetooth and infra would be nicers.

Wireless & GPS built in still ok... BT & IR ... abit slow leh ...

Since they can do it with P&S .. why not SLRs... :think:

Whoah! Have you seen the specs on these beasts? IMPRESSIVE! Its enough to seriously tempt me to switch camps.

I'm ecstatic Nikon has come up with this coup. All too long, Canon has been milking the market with its dominant position with half-hearted 'upgrades'. Even if I don't switch, it would at least as a strong impetus for Canon to wake up their ideas and give us a REAL upgrade.


I've been an exclusive Canon user so far, with a small collection of Canon equiptment from my 35mm film days. I've yet to take the plunge because there isn't any Canon DLSR with the feature set I desire at a price I'm comfortable with. My ideal cam would be the fabled 5D MkII whenever that shows up. I've been waiting for it for YEARS and patience is wearing thin.

Just Do It!

Yeah, That's the way...ah...ehem ehem:embrass:

its like buy till no-end & shoot till no-end<==>kind-of-techie-things.
(aiya, boey ah boey boi liao, shoot ah shoot boi liao).:bsmilie::bsmilie:

Then the next thing u will need a power pack for the camera already, these features are power suckers.

The best camera is the one announced just after you bought yours.

D300 is US$500 more expensive than 40D. N will have to revise prices to get C users to convert. N is not revolutionary compared to C, just more evolutionary.
CMOS Full Frame, Sony sensor?

Aiyah...who knows next time maye we'll see Transformer style DSLR....that can transform into robots, fly by themselves to the photoshoot, take pictures, den fly back and transfer files at lightning speed. :bsmilie:

Quote of the week. :thumbsup:

C'mon ppl, lighten up! New cameras won't improve your photos...maybe ego and self-satisfaction lar.

 

[roentarre]

Well said my friend!!! :thumbsup:

Though the new releases from the Dark Side are super tempting... :devil:

51 pt AF in D300...sigh...why Canon so kiam one.... only 9 pt in 40D. :cry:

Yeah, what a huge difference!!

My desire to get 40D is all smashed up...

Where is 5D MKII I have been looking for ...

 

[Viewpoint]

Really, what is the fuss all about?? During the early days of digital SLRs, I can understand the excitement when a new DSLR comes onto the market bringing with it a significant jump in resolution and image quality, lower noise and better white balance, etc.

But now it is obvious that the technology is rapidly maturing; i believe there is little noticeable difference in IQ between an older and the newer model nowadays. For eg, will anyone be able to look at a 12 x 18 print and say that it came from the 40D instead of 30D (or D300 rather than D200)?? I am glad Nikon finally embraces full-frame -- but that's about it.

So, to differentiate their latest products, we are supposed to rave about things like 500 point AF sensors, 10 inch LCD screens, wi-fi capability, GPS and maybe a built in phone with MP3 too?

I don't mind a DSLR where one can dock their iPOD in and use it as storage .. that'll be slick! :devil: :bsmilie:

Anyway, its the AF precision and low noise that's drawing the crowd to canon. But each system has its own plus and minuses... with the botched up mk3 AF canon released... we'll see have to see how "accurate" the AF is on the nikons...

Which means, we need better battery power to run the whole system and will happen in the future as the size getting smaller and powerful.

BTW, almost forgot....can canon bring back the eye focus like EOS 3 in the DSLR system?
I wish it will come true in the 5DMK2. PLEASE! :embrass:

 

[chopper]

I was so happy to see Nikon announcement. Now for sure there will be price pressure for Canon to compete. And soon we will see Sony new DSLR.... Still look forward to 5D MarkII, price drop somemore, then I can get my second body.

why would i want to put a GPS tracker in my camera?

the last thing i need is when i go for a studio shoot in GL and questions and calls coming in to check why I'm in that area! :sweatsm::sweat:
