Or he simply proxies around the ban. Web bans are unenforceable if the person has even an inkling how things work.

I agree Ken. Metal mount on the 18-135mm VR lens please.

Scene-Mode has nothing to do with Video.

Do you think it will support the GP-1 for geotagging? I’ve a D80 at the moment and love the idea of geotagging. Although I like the idea of video, the half based solutions on the D5000/D90 mean an upgraded to either aren’t really worth while. So a non video, cheap’ish, small, point and shoot DSLR supporting geotagging wouldn’t be a nice addition.

Although providing Nikon don’t push up the price point and add better video support on the new D300s/D400, I might justhold out. Although sadly I was hoping to get a new DSLR before my two week holiday in a couple of weeks.

This sounds good (it could do more fps probably but needs to be distinguidhed from the d5000. But for the lcd I hope it’s going to be a 3″ vga like on the d90

they also haven’t released anything new. the new stuff will have it surely. That leaves nikon sitting like a kid who nobody wants to play with. huge mistake. the target audience of this camera will pay attention to the gold sticket that says “HD VIDEO” and ignore the nikon which has…well nothing interesting.

Well, regardless, I bet there’s some sort of encoder chip that the video enabled cameras have which the non-video cameras don’t. It makes no sense to do all the video encoding in software on a dSLR when it takes a fairly decent computer to do the same in software. I honestly doubt that the main processor in a D5000 or a D90 could encode 30 frames a second without some sort of sub processor to at least assist it.

Actually, you don’t need $1600 lenses for full frame. In fact, the inexpensive kit lenses do better (assuming they are full frame). Since it would be full frame, you use more of the lens and the resolution of the lens is less of an issue at the same sensr resolution as a DX sensor. Now, if it were a 25MP FF, THEN you’d want the resolution of those $1600 lenses to help you out.

I was just counting on the D5000′s 4 fps and am not ready to abandon all hope yet

I would not expect more then 3fps. If you need more you need to buy d90. Marketing..

If it dosn’t have video, why would there be a scene mode?

There is no ‘d3000 page’ – it was just an info from lenstip. The post was deleted however few hours ago.

I hope the fps number is wrong, apart from that I’m in!

Either it’s fake, or they got busted by Nikon. I click on the link and it attempts to load the page, then redirects to the main page. Anyone else having problems viewing the D3000 page?
