You all spend to much time in from of a not so great forum discussing the what could be and hoping that the brand will launch something you just can’t afford, so you can have something to hope for… What about making some Photography?! Maybe posting something… useful, or fun, or technical, or at least interesting, 95 percent of this information has been gathered from.. a simple google search. I thing I’ll just go somewhere els…………

NICE!!!

This will do multiple things for us people:
The D40 replacement will get pushed up a bit, might not be now, but everyone knows that Nikon, except for Photokina (once every 2 years!!) usually announces things on their own accord.

AND!!! The price of existing bodies will get pushed down, especially the D80/D90/D300 line since the DX sensor will become “outdated” in relative terms.

So cheer up everyone, this is great news!

Tom, please understand. Anonymous may be like me and many others. We need corner sharpness in such a lens.

You never know. The SI editor may want that fan jumping in the corner of the frame to be tack sharp along with Manny in the center. God forbid, for the swim suit edition everything had better be sharp. People wants to see the pores on the model’s legs.

Then there is that Gobi desert assignment from National Geographic. If I used primes I will need to change lenses and dust will get onto the sensor. Oh the horror.

They never announced it officially in the US, so maybe it won’t be available – I will try to contact Nikon for more info, this looks like a nice gadget – 20x magnification.

Cool, thanks. Although I don’t see the camera bracket thing, but maybe it’s because it’s not available yet. I wonder when it’s going to be available in the US.

And it’s that easy…you want it so they make it. Has anyone even given half a thought to how difficult it is to do these things and not double the price ? Get real ! Switch systems or buy some primes.

You give up on it. I NEED a better 70 200 thats sharp at the sides and corners! And VR2 and preferably Nano coated. And shorter… And with much closer focus.

Give up the 70-200 already ! It sells as it is. There’s lots of other older non-VR non-AFS non-eco glass lenses that are higher priority like the 200mm micro and the 180 f2.8.

I’d bet on it if I were a Canon user….

Even if they don’t match Canon with a new DLSR there, it would be a good time to announce a new lens (or two). Replacements for 80-400, 300 F4, and 70-200 (and an F4 version) are my top hopes!

Dear Admin, why do you think “The chances that Nikon will be announcing something at the same time are slim” ?

Never happened that Canon and Nikon announced at the same time/event before?
Would be great to see something new soon

same with me.

Check this out:

If you think one or more features are important, you can sign it (Company Name is optional, but gives it more relevance), share it and even spread.
It’s interesting to see many people from many places and companies (even production companies) have signed.

This might be the interest of Nikon Inc. too.
At last, the companies’ decisions are based in many factors, but some are the trends, the competition, and the customers needs and requests/demands

It’s always good and interesting to know what Canon does and offer, and also from other brands.

I personally find it very interesting since we can use both brands (in fact I do) and not “get married” or be a fanatic from one brand, that might you dissapoint or leave you waiting for long time until you get the camera that fit better for your needs.

Any information about the biggest competitor of Nikon (Canon) is always useful, you can also -sometimes- deduct what is going to be released due to trends an innovation from other brands.

actually I do have a disclaimer and I do delete those types of comments – few probably sneaked by…

Personally Admin, I think you need to have a disclaimer on the opening page of your site stating this is a rumour site…. some peoples comments are ridiculous!! Or at least delete the type of comments from the “anti nikon rumours” crowd…. personally I feel the comments are often arguments and nothing constructive…. I don’t know if I will waste anymore time here on Nikon arguments.com……

you do a great job but you allow too many people to think they are your boss…. good luck!

don’t think so
