DX?? While it sounds great...but I was secretly kinda hoping that they will bring the FX format towards the D300 price range ala Canon 5D...
 

JUst re-read Ken Rockwell's D500 page. Did anyone see this part he wrote???

"Today, get the D40 for cost, the D90 for just about everything, the D700 for serious amaeturs, and the D3 for sports.

The old D300 can be forgotten; it came out in 2007 and has been surpassed by the newer D90."

HUH?!?! What drugs was he on when he wrote this?

well..comparing the specs of the d90 and d300, there really isn't much difference between the 2. i think the video capability and price of the d90 tilts the balance its way.

people don't think of the D90 as a D300 alternative, they move to the D700. the D90 market is meant for people who want a little more than the D60 and find too much in a weather sealed 51 point AF D300.

Don't wait just get the D300 and start snapping away
 

note that the 'D500' is still a tentative name... They can always change the name anytime soon...

And I just dun like the fact that there is a video function on a camera... feels weird...
 

haha...i wish the'yd just make new lenses so that older lenses drop prices...
i dont need extra features....i just need better glass...

for all we know..they'd come up with a camera that can tune in to channel 5 if this techno hype keeps going at this rate...

hehe....or a camera that can also read calling cards....hmmmm
 

seriously guys, buy what you use, if you need the function, go ahead, if you dont need it. stay with what you got. :)

I totally agree with you but in here everyone is full of dollars which they do not have a lot of place to spend... so the BBB virus will hit again.

If D800, D900, D1000....D30000.... someone will still buy it.
