Nikon should pack the d3x idea, it will simply not sell in the quantity that will justify production bearing in mind the current economic climate.

Just because I hang out here sometimes, doesn’t mean I’m not onto other sites with info about digital cameras.

For a variety of reasons–price for one–I am not ready to jump to a Phase One back. But thanks for the suggestion. I’m sticking with my current setup until the right combination of features and price come together.

Looks like no hard news about Dec 1st launch, and it’s getting close. At this point we should be seeing some hard evidence about new gear, a credible leaked image, something in a German magazine, etc.. I think it’s not coming now, more likely around PMA.

I would agree with Juergen – this one is fake.

Fake!

Yeah I wouldn’t bank on that 7000 number, and even if it’s true the USD is usually less. You never directly exchange the currency and use that as the MSRP…

I’d put a D3X at $6-6.5K, tops, assuming it is in a D3-style body, WITH improvements. And expect to pay $5K or less shortly, with the economy the way it is…

Yeah. There never was a D2, only an H and an X. So I don’t think the naming structure REQUIRES any particular model, it simply leaves categorical room for it… And the D3 itself performs the “H” job quite nicely.

…That’s what she said…

Maybe, Nikon switched back to CCD ?;)

Dewd, not to question your level of intelligence, but there are FAR better places to check on the development of digital imaging out there. Now that statement wasn’t meant to take away from the value of this website, because it does serve a purpose – what ever that purpose may be…

This is pretty slick: http://www.phaseone.com/Content/p1digitalbacks/P65plus/Introduction.aspx it’s not a 4×5 sensor, but the resolution is there and I’m sure large prints are great.

My imageshack account? Do you have the link – cannot find anything? Post it here and then I will delete the comment.

Well…I am a pro–architectural/fine art photographer–shooting 4×5 film and presently making high resolution scans. I’m following the development of digital cameras very carefully. Hence, I check in here from time to time.

I agree, that’s what I was looking at. I was hoping there was some discussion here about that little bit of info. It keeps sounding more and more like there is something unique about this sensor (other than its MP count). Where’s Iliah? We need more info…

I mean if theres a reason now to wait for new cameras or go for D3; if there will be a D3X with a lot of MP , they’ll continue to have D3 or there will be a new noise performer camera (like a D3H camera..)?

Everybody is talking about the price and the layoffs and nobody is paying any attention to the second link provided (Iliah Borg at dpreview) where he states that he has worked with RAW files from a new camera and, very obliquely, hints that it might not use traditional Bayer interpolation.
