So is it Nikon Eve?

An early leak on the press report from Google... posted over on DPReview

It leads with the Deathstar of SLRs, the D3. The biggest change is, in fact, one of bigness. Nikon equipped the new camera with a 36x23.9-millimeter image sensor that’s nearly as large as an old 35-milimeter film frame. Previously only Canon made these “full-frame” sensors, which capture extreme wide-angle shots and have larger pixels to soak in more light.

A small step below the D3 is the new D300. Its 12.2-megapixel sensor is in the standard size of 24-by-16 millimeters, and sensitivity stops at a still-impressive ISO 3200 ... Otherwise, it’s virtually identical to the D3, and probably at a steep discount. The D200 it’s replacing currently costs about $1600.It will be going head-to-head with Canon’s other new camera, the 10.1-megapixel EOS 40D

which sells for $1300. I spent a few happy weeks with the D200 last summer and fell in love with its easy controls and spot-on color accuracy. My only gripe was with the low-light performance—an area where Canon dominates. If Nikon’s new focus on light-sensitivity pays off, we’re in for a real clash of the camera titans.

Tomorrow should be interesting.

Woohoo!!

So, are you thinking about it???


Rumors have been flying for months now! The real test will be the test of time, if they release the D3 and/or the D300! If what DPReview says is accurate then it will be a heck of a camera!!

A real feeding frenzy over at that "other" photo board. Gonna be a lot of really HOT folks over there if the rumors prove false, or even less dramatic than the crystal balls seem to indicate.

I think this may have been a bad time for my credit card company to increase my credit limit by 4K

It would have been bad timing had it been a few months ago and you had bought something else.

What a week! New Nikons, new Canons, new lenses... same old salary.
Let's see, if I can get the minivan to last for 400,00 miles that saves enough to buy a lot of new stuff!
