DF– and DN–? Will they continue using x and s designations?

Actually I did read Thom’s comments, twice. What did he want to say? So many words… and i still don’t know what he means… but his books are good. NR site is not perfect either, but is addictive and there is no reason to throw nasty comments in either direction. Just keep in mind – Thom is a writer/author, NR Admin is a blogger – there is a big difference between those two. Just my 1c.
Peace

I heard they are going back to “F–” and “N–” naming, so the next pro body will be F7 instead of D4. This certainly does make sense since almost all current lineup are “digital”, being digital becoming just norm.

Ronan and the others that seem to have misread the tone of my post…
I also don’t think that the D400 will be FF. I think it is much more likely (almost certainly) that it will be DX. My point was that “IF” one considers the lenses being released, that it “COULD” be. The reason I brought it up is because a lot of the FF lenses the road map suggests are to be released are ‘affordable’ lenses. Pros and wealthy amateurs who buy FF cameras dont need a 14-28 3.5-4.5 They would just get the 14-24 2.8. Same goes for the tele lenses.
In my original post, I wasnt saying that I think the D400 WILL be FF, I was just making an observation about the lenses and suggesting a possibility.

Why all the hostility and calling people idiots and telling someone to get a life? It’s pretty ironic.. think about it.

I never understood the reason why these people ever came here. If you want to do it right, start one for yourself, and see how well you are at it..

You must be another idiot. My name is Ronan and i never said the D3 should be DX.

I fully encourage DX AND FF camera’s.

FF was a NEEDED upgrade for the D3 since most new pro camera’s are now FF.

It doesn’t mean pro’s MUST have FF camera’s, but it sure is nice.

You are not going to fool me into this meaningless discussion.
I can easily block you from reading NikonRumors and solve your problem, just let me know.

D100
D200
D300, 300s
D400, 400s
D500, 500s
D600, 600s

well… D600s will be the end of Nikon calendar?

btw. Mayan calendar ends next year, so we might not be seeing even D400…

It must frustrate you when you spend all day diggin up information on Nikon, come across certain financial disclosures or comments by the company, think nothing of it, and then BAM your enemy Thom Hogan uses deductive resoning and experience to put together a very compelling timeline / predictions that is/are a lot more substantive than the “Nikon D400 Book Post Mortem.” Thats what frustrates me about this website. Its mostly just nonsense.

The supposed roadmap was a hoax, aside from the names of the D300s and D3000 (which my five year old could have predicted at the time the roadmap was released) they got nothing right, not even the specs of the D3000. That alone should tell you the author of the roadmap had NO idea what Nikon was doing.

Yeah… Nikon is going to announce a sub $2k FX body just months after releasing a $1800 Dx camera? Step 1 load gun, Step 2 point at foot, step 3, pull trigger.

The release of the D300s means the D400 is at least a year away.

They are still trying to tell you CAPS LOCK is on. They even wrote a book on it now.
