You don’t have to be an asstard. There are more languages than english, it’s not even the first or second most spoken. Some can speak more than just one, how many languajes can you speak?

Try reading the entire thread, and/or others around here concerning the same rumored D5000.

NR is talking about the camera used to take the pictures of the rumored new camera, not the actual camera IN the picture.

You and I are on exactly the same wavelength.

And about manual exposure — nothing comes close. I’ve heard so many people call me out on it before. I do it because AE/Tv/Av don’t do what I want the majority of the time.

Micah, you’ve even got some great work to prove this.

Happy shooting.

Rubbish. That’s probably sumthing like a D60X or a similar low end model. Even by looking at the body, you can tell its no D400 whatever. Come on ppl, we’re better than that.

I’m going to have to agree with jestev. I’m pulling some phenomenal files out of the d300. Enough that I’m not touching anything FF for probably another gen. Even to rent. (Well, if the client requests then whatever, but I’m not wasting MY money on it.)

24 mp doesn’t blow my mind, and 15 certainly won’t.

Nikon is smart to concentrate on the low end and bring it into line with the best. They don’t want to take risks. They’re in business.

What’s a d400 going to do that a d300 won’t? If you want a large sensor video camera/dslr for cheap, get a d90. If you want a versatile video camera, don’t get a dslr.

I’m getting great 20×30′s with my d300/d90. In fact, don’t take my word for it–buy one from my site and see! Hell, one of the landscapes I still sell at 20×30 was shot on a D70. Exif data is all there.

I want to see new gear continue to come from Nikon, but only because I’d like to see people put out good work and the latest and greatest will help people with a good eye, but weak technical knowledge do that. I still manually control exposure, because the camera still guesses wrong for what I want 99% of the time. Autofocus points don’t cover the entire screen yet. And yes, I’d love a fold out screen on a pro level camera. In fact, how about a detachable screen? Or a wireless accessory one? These are innovations. Why isn’t there a wireless 4″ screen for the D3x? That’d be worth another $4k.

Nikon would be smart to wait until xmas for the d400. Or announce it now and take orders and wait until they have enough money in hand to crank them out.

/rant. I just wanna see some good work. Ok, maybe some new lenses too.

Cheers.

Dont be close-minded! 1500eur is not something you give out every day, people simply check on DxoMark and Co and see that the D300 sensor is lagging behind more recent Nikon bodies. So they wait for the D400 release.

those 3 shots were taken with a D200 by another person on the same location

Because if the model number was obvious then Nikon couldn’t keep up their pretence of these being semi-candid ‘leaked’ shots

These shots were shoot rater close even tough the are probably cropped (note the focal lenght 32mm on dbk_0661.jpg)

Why is the model tag hidden in all the shots? Taped over? But why in a commercial shoot?

By: Jestev

Jestev — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 20:36:33 +0000

Haha. The D300 hasn’t even been out for it’s regular 2 year cycle. Besides, no competing camera comes close to it yet.

How would a D400 make your photography better?

Also lacking the front command dial, integral to prosumer models.

It’s clearly a D5000, as the top dial is on the camera’s right (see picture 662), and it thus lacks a top LCD, which a D400 would have. Nevertheless, I’ve been expecting a swivel screen sinds 2004, since I had it on my powershot
