Hmmm…I’m interested in the D3000 as I was right about to buy a D5000 off of Amazon before they pulled it (presumably due to the recall). Problem is, I need to have it in hand before I leave for Copenhagen on August 15. Given that the announcement is supposed to be made very soon, do you think the camera will be shipped out by then?

D300 already has best high ISO fo APS-C in RAW (D90 seems to have some RAW NR manipulation that seems to produce better results but I hope Nikon hasn’t done that to D300s).

I hope they hange AA filter (like D3x’s) and improve the sensor re DR and also the CFA (color). I hope they leave NR out of the RAW file as they seem to have done to D90/D5000. There have been careful tests shown at DPR by some people that indicate some RAW manipulation in high ISO for D90′s files that seem to reduce detail a bit in dark areas, creating bltches that are not there for D300′s files.

The Dxxx series is a pro line, better leave the NR for off-camera software and user.

Sure, if you can mesure it, you can improve it… But aren’t there a lot more things pressing then to replace a quite good affordable ultrawide lens for a camera system that is still really expensive?
An affordable ultra wide for DX, would be a lot more interesting, the old old 80-400 desperately needs an AF-S implementation…

Well anyway, if the specs of the d300s here are accurate it will weigh significantly less. My only assumption would be a material change of some sort, unless these specs are wrong. Check it out.
