Can you back up that allegation (you better should!), or is this just another stab at him? And you’re not quoting all your sources either – because you don’t want to put the people giving you inside information at risk. You’re not the only one to get that kind of information.

For what it’s worth, in his latest article, he writes that Sendai at the moment produces the D700, D3X and D3s models. I don’t think the “s” there is a plural, and neither is it a mistake…

It is funny, as I replied to another person, while watching Miss Italy 2009 one of the photographers there used a D3 (not a D3X, a D3) and well he is a pretty famous fashion photographer in Italy and he is shooting for no less than friggin Miss Italy… if an established well known photographer can manage to shoot several fashion photoshoots for a super big event Miss Italy, then how come the rest of you are asking for an update for the D3? Really silly people LOL

Really? pretty weird… one of the photographers for Miss Italia 2009 was using a good ol´ Nikon D3 for every photoshoot he did and well he did fine, if a fashion photographer in Italy shooting for Miss Italia can manage to do it with a D3, then your claim of “MOAR MOAR!!” certainly lacks any serious foundation.

Oh please, the Grafika author has already admitted it was a joke among friends… nothing more than a wish list. While they did get the names of the D300s and D3000 correct (any dufus could have by the time the Grafika note was written) they got a lot of the stats wrong, missing by a mile on some of them, particularly on the D3000. Go ahead and compare the actual features of the D3000 to the listed features in the Grafika leak. WAY off. 12MP – wrong, 7 point AF-wrong, 2.7in LCD-wrong, “Movie – not known” How could a Nikon roadmap document not know if a camera will have a movie mode with product announce only 2 months away? They didn’t even get the right lens for the July/August announce. And they completely missed it on lenses, too.

Depends which fim you are talking about. I believe Fuji Velvia ISO50 is rated at about 16MP equivalent, so a 12MP sensor with native ISO200 falls a bit short of that particular slide film.

That’s the source of the original leaked road-map I believe.

I say put the s in front of D3.

RIiiiiight…lets see a comparison that shows me a 12 mp sensor doesn’t pull more information from the exact same shot with the exact same lens on slide or print negative film. Really.

Y’all dreamin if you think 35mm film resolved much more than a 10mp dslr.

I certainly want a dslr with over 24mp. But the argument you need more than 12mp to replace film is asinine.

But like I say, show me the print/images and I’ll admit I’m wrong.

The ‘S’ stands for ‘Speedy’

What? That’s not a D3 update

Sorry I’m an idiot, wrong camera, got too excited

Because they’ve found out something….it’s mostly NOT external dust on the sensors.

it’s expected debris from the shutter and components inside the camera. Canon mentioned it with the new shutter blades for the MkIII.

I think if it was that easy, they would have done so already, otherwise, see if you can get a patent on it while you still can!

D3sex – 69 MP!!!

Give me ISO 6400 slide film that can give enough detail to produce 24 MP images and I’ll gladly take it.

But I do get what you mean. Digital technology changes very quickly, and your brand spanking new D3 suddenly won’t seem quite as cool 2 years down the road.
