Love the tiny command dial on the bottom. Very funny.

I agree – no 70-200, probable 80-400.

BUT

“We already know…”

Please don’t include everyone in an assumption which you state as fact.

I contacted the seller to buy one, and we met downtown next to the subway. I don’t remember much of the evening. I woke up this morning in an alley, and noticed the camera was missing, along with one of my kidneys.

Well since the 70 – 200 VR 2.8 works perfectly for everything I shoot and everyone I know says the same – and I only really know people that shoot for a living – no amateurs who read too many results of lab tests shooting coloured boxes, grey cards and brick walls – I don’t think you will see a replacement this side of 2010. If you are looking for a serious window, I’d be looking very late 2010/early 2011.

The 80 – 400 is more likely to be replaced but all this now depends on… the economy. We already know that not all the camera companies are going to make it through this one – like every other industry this time round. There will be a big slow down on releases over the next 5 years – not on R&D but on releases until the money is out there again and being spent.

Well rumours have been pretty boring since the D3x was released, this is great. But where is the new 70-200 and the new 80-400?

The fuzzy images on Hubble were so that the One World Government – the top of the pyramid that is the New World Order but which only ever meets in secret at night inside a tunneled out mountain in Switzerland (no its all very swish and you wouldn’t think you were in a mountain as you were about to poo poo this saying why would they meet in a mountain) – could make sure that nobody could say “point it at the moon and check for the lunar module” and then they would have to explain why it wasn’t there.

Cue a lot of awkward questions about events 40 years ago.

About a small handful of people have access to a switch that makes the images perfectly clear. You are slightly right about the contact lens because in laymans terms that is what happens when they flick the switch.

Does it have the most prominent Hubble Space Telescope Feature, that is, all the images are fuzzy and out of focus due to manufacturing errors and the Space Shuttle has to stop by and install a big contact lens?

You actually made a serious comment on it. Wow.

The specs say FX (Full Frame) but the prism is obviously not FX. I think the dude has got the specs mixed up or else this is just make believe camera and is not really coming out.

My guess is that he started with a D200 and took bits from many other previous and subsequent models – as far back – at least – as the F801/s and F90/x. Thats the N8008/s and N90 for you mericans and those who live in the far northern canadian part of the states.

There is no little raised wedge by the shutter release as my D300’s have so it was definitely started with a D200 skeleton which is another reason it shows it is FAKE – Nikon is not going to return to an older design with a new product.

There’s no doubt in my opinion this is fake. The red nikon swoosh too has been made too large and doesn’t fit with the usually Guigario design for this model range and upwards.

Yay! At last! A nikon camera with blinking LED lights on the front… I want one, I want one!

I saw this on craiglist a few days ago… I actually nominated it for “best of CL” but I doubt everyone felt this ad was as humorous as I did.

The camera is real people!

But that lens is an obvious fake.

I guess the 50mm 1.4 AF-S will be discontinued and the trusty D version will replace it’s sucessor. (like the 80-200mm D / AF-S)

Well something that should surely be possible, if expensive, one day, would be constant stream recording of the full sensor during live view so that the camera remembers the last 3 seconds of images even before you press the button. With continuous AF, that should solve a lot of problems with getting a shot. it’s gonna need some serious computing power and ,ighty big batteries, but it seems doable.
