Looking forward to see what Nikon has up their sleeve this time.

So can we expect a D400, or are we thinking entry level only?

to the D90 purchaser, WAIT, the same sensor is trickling down into the D5000, so you can probably score the D90 cheaper. . .

Ughhh. Small question.

I am planning in getting a D90 next week.

Should I wait or use the plastic?

Sadly Nikon D400 will not be presented on April 14 – I am 90% sure and I wish I were wrong. But I hope very much it will be a reality until June 2009!

Oh god I was joking…no hard feelings there…but I really read somewhere that it always starts in countries with “F”.

Your 70-200 vignetted on a DX sensored camera???

Who needs VR at the 17-55 range? OTOH, I’d pay big bucks for a sharp, constant f2.8 18-200 VR that weighs less than my truck.

It will be a looong time before Nikon adds another 70-200 VR F2.8 to the lineup. Why would they? They are selling every one of these lenses as fast as they can produce them and exept for negligeable vignetting in FX, there isn’t a damn thing wrong with this, one of the best, most popular lenses Nikon ever made.

Offensive ads triggered by comments! That would never do. Next thing there will be Canon ads here because some Canon user with a Canon P&S or Canon DSLR mentions Canon a lot and next thing you know, faster than a Canon PowerShot, there is suddently a Canon ad on Nikonrumors!

That would be really offensive. Except to Canon users who shoot Nikon lenses, perhaps.

Well, given Canon recent cameras @ 15MP and Nikon usually upping the APS-C rez with the DXXX series first (let’s now forget about the D2X), I’d bet on a D400 and an entry level 12 MP in spring and a DXX with the same sensor later – for Christmas the latest. Question being which higher rez APS-C sensor are they going to use ? A variant of the Sony ?

Just guessing

The 1.7 converter works fine on the existing 300 F4.

The 1.7 converter would bring the combination to f6.7, making AF iffy – probably unsupported, but might work on some bodies. The laws of physics get in the way of making any lens that is long, fast and doesn’t have a huge front element (and this is just as true if you use a TC to get there). One possible solution is something like Canon’s Diffractive Optics lenses – the front element still has to be full-sized, but the overall lens can be smaller and lighter.

Might not be as expensive now with the economic down turn….

Yeah, the 18-70 is a total sleeper. I think my D70s kit came with one and I used it as my walk around on all my DX cams. I finally gave it to my mom, but I kind of wish I would’ve kept it. Awesome budget lens.

1080p @ 24-48 fps/ manual controls / fx sensor / iso 64000 low light / pro audio / timecode / flip around LCD / …..

Nikon could destroy the video lords once and for every….

… with the 14-24, 24-70, a new 70-200, and a few zf primes we could shoot a feature film…

I am still debating whether to delete your comment. I will assume that you were joking.

I’m not sure about this…I mean, it just doesn’t make any sense to present a new product in some hotel in Austria (without underestimating the fancy hotel). Usually it starts in those countries that start with “F”, like France…Nous avons un nouveau appareil photo numerique…VOILA le D quattre cent! Vive La France!
