D400 wont be FX. Specs seem to fit but the image is a fake. Only problem here is the FX icon to the right of the lens. D400 wont be FX. Specs seem to fit but the image is a fake.

The D300 is a camera of choice by many of us professionals because of one reason - integrity of photo as its basically a camera which loyally keeps to the whole l'ight box' theory of yester year. Obviously it contains a lot more technology to allow it to be used as respectable digital model and meet modern digital DSLR demands but the truth is Nikon have been sensitive in not compromising the D300's integrity. Not a chance in hell will a camera of this stature be replaced with camcorder like properties as what make it the camera of choice and market leader in this price bracket is the the fact its a enthusist/professional photographers honest tool of choice not toy for gimmick hungry. FINAL WORD:

What I was trying to say is that Nikon does not have any plans to go for something bigger than FX, and why should they? If you compare 8k USD D3x and 15kUSD Mamiya dl28, D3x wins in every aspect (usability, picture quality, availability, price etc.), and this new MX line would cost Nikon millions to develop. If you evaluate what Nikon has done on D3x, and if you presume what will happen in sensor development in a couple of years (50 or more Mpix easily) there is no reason to invest in anything else really. What bothers me and the rest of us are that production costs increase of around 500 USD Nikon is trying to charge us 3500 USD. As for something called D65 or similar I was just talking of what is real in a near future, and what I actually saw in a preproduction model available for testing.

That will kill some of the DX lenses. Most of the d300 customers are amateur/pro and dont have the money to spend on pro lenses like the 24-70/2,8 and the 14-24/2,8. The other camaras i my lineup is own ideas. I can agree that a D4 with MX-sensor is not logic but possible. However I think the D800 is more than possible. sorry , perfect is the wrong word. what i was trying to say is that it would be crazy to give up the DX sensors. That will kill some of the DX lenses.

There will never be an MX format (whatever this is) cameras made by Nikon, ever, so live with it. You should be aware that such a camera (and don’t forget the lenses) would cost around 15000 USD, and why would you need this? So you could print your photos in 10 by 15 meters and actually see those pixels. But there will be D400 16 Mpix camera with yet unreleased Sony CMOS DX format sensor by the end of this year (followed by a Sony a750 next year utilizing the same sensor), and then there will be D500 and then D600 Nikon DX format sensor cameras (why do you think they named there first amateur FX camera D700). What we will see in the nearest future is a brand new D65, that is already in production, publically announced in a couple of weeks, and it will be some of a disappointment as it is just a D40 modest enhancement, just as D40x and D60 where. The other question is why we are all wasting our time and efforts on an obviously fake Russian article is what puzzles me really. Perfect for what exactly?

Think about the DX lenses. The perfect lineup is D400 DX-format , 14mpix, Iso 100-6400 (no boost), 1080 video, Expeed II D800 FX-format, 16-20mpix 100-12800 (no boost), 1080 video, Expeed II D4 MX-format, 35mpix++, Super Iso performance, 1080 video, etc.etc..

Try this if interested... http://photohumourist.blogspot.com Might there be a D90s or x at some point? Does anyone have any clue on this? A follow up hd vid cam hybrid should be on the way, no? Otherwise pros might flock to Canon like they did before. Maybe pros don't matter anyway as we don't buy nearly as many cameras as non pros do. Maybe a muscled up coolpix camera with a larger sensor and decent video capability will suffice. It's time for that. Broken link above. Try this if interested…
