Purchase existing 70-200, 03′ tech. or wait? I have been waiting for quite a while? I purchased the 700 vs. the m5, if I would have known that it would be this long…… I should have bought the cannon.

Same here. The D700 is very attractive but I am holding out for video – and GPS. I also wanted to stretch out into IR but converting a DSLR is very costly to have it only dedicated for that purpose. Why is it that only Sigma is willing to make a DSLR with a removable filter? Ugh.

70-200 update is just nano-coat as far as i know, nikon are just upgrading all their gold lenses to nano.

What the hell are they waiting for ???? I’m just getting bored of upscaling my files each time I need ‘a bit’ of resolution or picking up the MF stuff on outdoors. Damn, we aren’t all sport photographers or reporters ! Ultra-clean 6400 ISO is excellent but I don’t care about 11fps so, hurry hup nikon guys or I’ll canonize myself !

I was on the verge of buying the sigma 30 mm f1.4…until I read this. If Nikon releases a new 35 mm, when do you think it would be available for purchase?

Nikon spain seems to have a placeholder online for the new 70-200mm, with a high product id visible in the link (1064 vs. 634):

[I went to Photokina yesterday and had some nice talks with Nikon.
The D3x/D4 (still not sure what will be the final name) is expected to be available in Feb. 2009.]

Does this mean we can buy in February or will it be announced and available x months later?

70-200 is a rare piece of hardware to find and most of them have either very high price or out of stock. i really do hope that new version come out soon before I purchase this lens.

i want this lens in a 1600-1800 price range.

That’s just great. New 70-200 on the way but they’re “busy”?

That’ll kill sales stones dead – who have they got running Nikon? Gordon Brown?

Rob:

"I never thought I'd crave video in a DSLR. But I am."

I did !!

Look at these links:

http://www.slashgear.com/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-clips-1716575/

http://visualtech-studio.blogspot.com/

In the first you can see some Video samples from EOS 5D MkII, and also a comment about Movie mode controls/options in that camera. (Daniel's written on 09/25/2008)

I know this is Nikon related site, and I love Nikon :)
But is good to know what other brands make about a feature that many people want in a Nikon too (and better than them, if possible)

I would love to hear that Nikon is releasing a D700 with video to compete with the Canon 5D Mark II. I am going to wait as I’d hate get the D700 and then they release the video version. I do video editing as well as photography on my macpro so I can definitely see it as an asset.

A disappointing Photokina. I had very high hopes that Nikon would put out (or at least announcing intent to put out) a competitive camera to the 5D MII. It was a tough position, since Nikon just put the D700 and D90 out there. To announce a successor so soon would be risky to consumer loyalty. But I’d hoped.

Seems like February is all about the D3x/D4. Which historically is in the mid-to-upper $4K range. *sigh*

If they make an AF-S 35mm f/1.8 for the same price or less than the new 50mm, I’m ordering it the second that it comes out!! That will be so perfect for my little D40 in low light.

Hard to tell – he/she was correct about the P6000 – he/she new that in advance, the rest is just based on conversation this person had with various Nikon reps.

I don’t make rumors – I just report them.

Agreed. The new AF-S 50mm f/1.4 is really meant for the DX sensors. I think with the unexpected popularity with the AF 50mm f/1.8D forced Nikon to review some things.

Nice, if people are droping their “old” 85 1.4 for a nice price i can change my 1.8 into a 1.4.
I am not interested in a 35mm, i prefer a 28mm.
