This is Ken Rockwell’s take on the Nikon D400.
The rumor is that D400, D3x and new lenses will be released for the European Soccer Championship (starts on June 7, 2008). I still think any announcement will on for the Olympics.

I really have a problem with the name “D400″ - Canon already had a model Canon EOS 400D.
Some web site in Europe already is selling battery for the D400. Typo? Probably.
The D400 cannot be a real rumor without a picture:
I am not going to comment on the authenticity of the pictures - I am sure you will.

That seems very nice. However, the pictures look a lot like the D300 with some post-processing magic applied around the model number. One has to wonder where the big pentaprism is …

I don’t think either company cares about confusing comsumers.
Canon: 300D, 40D & D60
Nikon: D300, D40 & D60

The EN-EL9 battery is for the D40, so I’m sure it’s a typo.

Thx for the visit to my site … best wishes from me to your effort on your new site. Bravo!!

Yes, that’s probably the case but such leaks from web sites are very useful to track upcoming products.

If it’s an FX camera, why is it shown with a Nikkor 18-200 DX lens.
I call bullshit!

Freedom of speech - you call it whatever you want!

Maybe this is a marketing trick to get you interested in the competition.

Sorry, I meant no disrespect to the site.. Just pointed out an obvious flaw in the mock up
Great website by the way. I check every couple days.

No, my comment was for the “bullshit” comment after yours. You did not disrespect the site in any way, even the comment after yours did not. This what people think, and I respect that - otherwise I would have removed their comments already

As with the D3, you can set it to 1.5 factor to enable you to use your old dx lenses.

I do like DX lenses - you can get them today for less than 1/2 of the price and weight of a FX lens. Yes, they are not future proof, but by the time full frame become mainstream, the price of FX lenses will be half of what is today - so over time you can get 2 lenses for the price of a FX lens today.

Dear All,
Theres a huge market waiting for a low cost affordable Nikon Full Frame. Whether its called D10 or D400 doesnt matter. What matters is Nikon should not delay their launch of such a low cost camers and give a upper hand to Canon.
People are waiting to gobble up a low cost Full Frame. HOPE NIKONS LISTENING?.
Regards.

Also, the viewfinder is too small for FX (full frame) sensor. Cheap job, at least the D10 fakery is consistent.

Euro soccer has nearly finished and no Nikon announcement. Just a heads up for non-Europeans.

Cheap comment message preview tramadol.
Tramadol dog. Tramadol. What is the street value for tramadol.
[Reply]
Nikhil is right–see now canon will go for a low cost full frame–I wish please add GPSsystem in Nikon D400 .Should nikon change from Nikon D300 to Nikon 300F–F will mean full frame–To read FX is little bitter–i think thatnikon should change nikon 400F as full frame future model.

I won’t buy a digital SLR until Nikon brings out a full-frame DSLR that can take all non-digital-sized AF and manual lenses.
People’s creativity is being stifled and they are forced to pay out extra for new lenses when the old Nikon and Nikkor lenses were renowned as some of the best.
Does anyone know whether there is a strap-on CCD for 35 mm cameras that really works? If not someone should invent one.
