Nikon announces two new cameras to there DSLR lineup.

The D3 and D300 (http://www.nikonusa.com/announcement/index.html). OMG, I'm going to be in heaven.

I've been saving up my pennies for the last 3 months. I'm hoping I can afford one of them.

Mmmmm... that does look good.

[padiq]

OOOO....looks cool!

I'm still saving up for the D40 (which will be my first DSLR ....yey)

[Politik]

nice! also with the launch will be the 14-24 2.8 and 24-70 2.8


all way out of my price range... im still proud owner of the D50 though

[Hermie]

Wauw man. Could i ask how it is going with the burglary? Still nothing heared about who, why, ect?

I'm not a Nikon lover so i prettended it were new camera's of Canon and jumped in the air of joy!!!:D

[skeptic]

Hermie, there are 2 new Canons coming as well. In September I think. The 40D and the 1Ds MKIII. Sweet, although I think I will splurge for a new lens instead. I haven't had my 400D for long enough to constitute an upgrade just yet.

[rAyVoLvEz]

congrats greg! looking forward to ur photos :)

if i ever need a shoot and u dont mind flying to singapore, i'm sure that i will also look good with u behind the lens :D

I got the 5D myself so..... and a new lens.... mmm yeah i would like to have a zoom lens with a 2.8!!!

[fotodog]

Padiq -> I'd recommend saving a few more dollars and going for the D40x. The extra 4 megapixels at a really decent price.

Politik -> yea, those lenses are sweet, but I know I won't be able to afford them. But i can dream, right? :)

Hermie -> no news, no suspects, no investigation, I got screwed by everyone including the insurance companies. So I'm pinching pennies trying to regroup. But thanks for asking.

Elaine -> I'll be posting like a madman once I get it. I may be in Singapore in 2008. I have a teammate that lives and works there and I may need to spend a couple of weeks doing some training with him. I'll keep you updated.

Hermie -> I heard a rumour that Sigma was coming out with a lens in early 2008 with a couple of zooms with a 2.8. I love Sigmas new lenses.

[cfire]

Cool, I hope you get the one you want Greg! :)

[mkeefe]

Nice, hope you get it.

Also, Canon isn't far behind on some releases.. just like last year, right before i travel new camera taunt me.

[fotodog]

Thanks Frank and Matt.

I'm anxious and scheming to figure out how to afford this over the D200.

Hmmmmm????

[the1sen]

yeah, the D3 is just AWESOME. a 5d on steroids - and what a great body...:notworthy

with the introduction of their new wide angle glass and cameras, Nikon has really closed whatever gap there was between them and Canon.

my issue with Nikon is not their hardware - i started shooting with Nikon and i am a fan. my problem with Nikon is their encryption of WB info in NEF forcing folks to use THEIR software for usable, accurate adjustments...

i am glad Nikon came out with such a killer line this year because i think it demonstrates to Canon that their secondary cameras deserve a more accurate focus system, better ISO performance, and more control over what we shoot - even in live view.

competition is great for everyone.

[the_biggest_lebowski]

Here's one that's on Lebowski's wish list...

I think it would get along nicely with my Canon Rebel XTi (400D)...

[paradox]

yer but fotodog your a rich bum lol nah im jokin, im savin up for a new comp over £1000 which is like $1900, but i so wanan get thre nikon d3 or even the nikon d2x i think it is.

and im in school still so any money please feel free to make a donation lol

Cheers

[fotodog]

Lebowski - that's a great lens. Darnit!! got to save more pennies. But yea, that would be a great addition to any lens line-up.

Paradox - you're funny, man!!! I appreciate that in you. :) I think you'd like the D3 over the D2x, but money is always an issue. Maybe you can find a sponsor to help you? :lol

[paradox]

hahaha ill get everyone at ther cafe too buy me one lol - donations please-

[digi.film]

The new D300 surely looks sweet but I think I'll stand with those who wait and see how it works out with the early adopters.

I have been saving for a D200. In the interim I bought a Pentax K10D which I do like very much, but there are some things it won't do that the D200 will (B&W shooting mode for one thing). On the other hand there are features the K10D sports that the D200, and the D300, doesn't (internal SR to name one).

What I'm torn about now is that I've recently discovered the Fuji S5. So I'm trying to decide whether to skip the D200 altogether in favor of the S5, then get a D300 later!

Aarrrggghhh!!! *pulls hair out*

[paradox]

i was gonan say how much it it going to be retailed at? in the USA ?

[paradox]

kool, i mihgt have too get one of you guys to but me one over there and then ship it too me, seeing as its 2 dollors to the pound hehe,

[photographer]

I am really happy for you,Nikon users.You FINALLY have FF cameras+ they are very competitive with Canon lineup. However,this will force Canon to work harder. I can only imagine what they'll put in the next 6-8 months!!

[Hermie]

I like the sigma lenses to but they don't have (YET) the "steady" shot (image stabelizer), but on the other hand that's about $500,= less than the same lens from canon with stabelizer!!!!

fotodog - bummer!!! :mad::mad: about the insurance companies!!! Why don't they "just" pay up, when you need them too!!!

[dir.arab]

koool

[mobd3box]

cool
