Just got back from a small convention. Nikon was there in a small booth. I asked about the 85mm, and he smiled and told me he knew something, but he couldn’t say. But I shouldn’t buy any lenses until after wednesday

Actually there has been less leaks for this release than usual – we still have to clue what will be the second camera, if there is one.

exactly. and one of them i’m sure many of you have already seen his work on Youtube. Chase Jarvis. if this pro records video while he works, who are we to whine about video, as long as it doesn’t diminish the quality of still coming out of this camera?

If Nikon makes it Pro, then yes, if Nikon wants it to be a prosumer/consumer lens, then probably no.

This is perfectly normal.

If you think the reason you can’t take good photos because you “only” have a D5000, then you’re in for a rude awakening if you ever pick up something more expensive.

i am new to nikon product launches. is this a normal pre-release situation? or is there more hype than normal. could we expect something new or “only” some updates.

comparing to apple rumors before keynotes, what is the situation?

Depending on your haggling skills, there’s always a chance to pay less than average price. But as introduction prices fall, you will pay even less. And this is a recurring pattern.

Waiting 5 months before buying the D700 would have made the difference between 2600 EUR and 1900 EUR – which is 1000 US$ less.

How can the D90 be a far superior camera to the D5000? They have the same sensor, same Xpeed chip, same Cam 1000 AF system, and same 3-D matrix 420 points “zone recognition system.” Even DXO Mark, a division of DXO Labs, rate the D90 as 15th overall and the D5000 16th.

Wake me up when the D700x comes!

Should that be concidered a leak or a personal wish?

I would suggest buying a replacement shutter button from ebay ASAP

I dunno…I bought (OK, ordered) my D700 the day they were introduced, and got it for $150 less than retail, from an established brick and mortar. The biggies, B&H, Adorama, etc. generally keep the retail prices up as long as they can.

So, depending on your relationship with a stocking dealer, you may not have to wait to buy

Both the D700 and D90 are great cams, but It depends on what you want and what you are willing to spend.

The D700 is an amazing camera and I would imagine would hold its value just as well as a D90 if not better.

However, the D700 is far more expensive and also a far more serious photographic tool than the D90.

I would think most companies welcome a certain amount of leaks for a new product, and even leak it themselves.

That’s why I expect a flood of leaked info by the end of this weekend.
