i do agree with you that a D400 will still sell at the same price IF Nikon still purchases its sensor from an outside company (sony)… but if Nikon could produce their own sensor (rather than purchasing them at extra cost) and make a D300 callibur camera at the same cost as an EOS 50D, do you think they wouldn’t do it?

quite frankly, i think it would really be advantagous for both companies involved. Kodak has taken alot of fire for their EasyShare build quality, design, and somewhat lack of user-friendlieness. and partnering the Kodak image quality with Coolpix design and functionality would give the new models an increadible boost, possibly in line with long favored PowerShot line-up.

and then we have the potential for serious advances in the Larger Format Sensor’s. Kodak has been manufacturing Sensors for Hasiblad for some time now, and we have been seeing rumors of Nikon possibly moving into the Medium Format Digital range with MX format (or at least something a little “big”ger than the current FX Sensor).

and still going. Kodak and Lexar have had a long standing relationship, Throw Nikon into the mix of that? the possibilities truely become endless!

I don’t think that Nikon or Canon is ever going to implement really professional video features into any of their digital SLR’s…. For Canon, that would just hurt themselves, because they already sell professional video cameras….

Wouldn’t they be destroying that market a little bit if they started including those features in their SLRs?

its something that i think would be a very good move, but no, i havent heard any solid information along those lines. however, i HAVE heard a rumor with some credibility (will remain anonamous for professional reasons) that Sony is considering a buy out offer to Nikon… but i still dont think that will go anywhere personally…

QUICK EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, look what has been put up as an announcement and little slide/mini site on the French AND UK/Ireland Nikon Imaging websites. Now who was expecting this triple wamy – eh???

Some of this is stratospherically groundbreaking stuff… sets Canon back to the Neolithic age at least eh!?! Whoever would have imagined clean images at ISO 30000!!! This is spectacular! No word on price though… call to my investment bankers I think to shed some stock!

No wonder they didn’t want to use the Sony sensor! I am surprised the D3 is replaced so soon though – still they are firing those sensors into the D700 so will make returns there.

Must say, thought they would hang on to DX sensor for longer though in the D90/D300 area but they will now be the last products. Glad I kept my quality lenses from the days of film. Only low end DX’s now and for how much longer??? Marketing eh? Sell a product to people for years then, tell them they need better (full frame) and they need to buy all over again. CASH COWS, they are great, if you own one.

Glad I avoided investing too much in DX and will dump it all tomorrow.

WHAT A STRING OF PRODUCTS THOUGH. AWESOME STUFF!

That would probably work well for Nikon. Kodak does make a lot of sensors. For those with hig resolution needs, Kodak makes the Hasselblad sensors. They have a lot of experience in this market. I haven’t heard of Nikon looking to purchase Kodak have you? It would probably work well in at least a number of areas for Nikon. Long term.

As has been mentioned here before, different people do have different needs. Just because they are not the same as yours does not mean it is not needed. Why not word your replies like “I don’t need xxx”? That would probably work best.

Thanks, I had missed the originals of those images. So jeff-c seems out-of-the-loop on this one.

No one will dump their D3s, they’ll get a D3X for the different applications. Pros don’t dump bodies like amateurs.

From what I’ve seen in forums around the internet, not many people are selling their D300/D700s to get the 5DII. There’s still movernt from Canon users to D700, in particular events shooters (weddings etc), because of AF and low-light ability.

A D400 will sell exactly at what the D300 started, 1,799USD. The D90 will stay at 999, in Sept it was already the 4rth best selling camera in the US, with less than a month after starting selling (Sept 05).

With the DxO results showing D90 as the best APS-S sensor in the market, you bet its sales will saty high. And I bet Nikon will come soon with a replacement for D40 or D60 with the 12MP sensor, there was a guy who said he had tested such a camera.

Really, is the need for a higher MP camera from Nikon really there? With the astounding success for the D3 and D700, seems many pros and advanced people have moved in full force. I really don’t see people complaining much. Myself included, I’m so happy with my D3 I couldn’t see myself really needing more pixels. But my main need is the new 70-200 and maybe a 80-400, and some more primes perhaps. Will people really dump D3′s and 700 when this higher MP body comes out? Will they become unused relics? I think not, not is this economy.
