no D800 – just had a chat with my camera dealer – he said he cannot sell any D700’s anymore, everyone wants to buy 5D Mk2. You can see the higher resolution very well, and not everyone is taking pictures at ISO 12,800. Nikon is losing lots of customers, upgraders from DX format, most important target group for FF semi-pro bodies like D700. Even D90 can compete with D700.

Well… probably they start after the D400 is out. And since the D300s just appeared, I guess that we will not see a D400 till well into the next year (probably summer?). Then, give another half a year or so, maybe more, for the D90 successor to appear. That would be end of 2010 / beginning of 2011. Sounds reasonable to me. So why would we have rumors on a camera more than one year before it appears?

What caught my eye is that the bokeh appears to be pretty neutral, even slightly poor (edges of out-of-focus features are brighter than centers…the ideal is the other way around so that edges fade gradually).

If the background is far enough away or low enough contrast, especially at F/2.8 all the blur will overlap so much you won’t notice it, but on a couple of the sample images the inverted airy discs are pretty clear, and not much if at all better than my 70-300.

From a couple samples I’ve found from the prior 70-200 VR, however, it doesn’t appear that the VRII version is notably worse.

NR Admin – do you have a larger version of the D3s cut in half to share? I’d love to see it.

I wonder when the rumors on the D90 successor are going to start, there wasn’t anything recently and not even in the (faked) roadmap (http://nikonrumors.com/2009/07/08/nikon-roadmap-leaked.aspx). Is the Dxx line dead?

D70 Jan.04 D80 Aug.06, D90 Aug.08, ??? Aug.10

Oh no… :’( I feel a little more sad for humankind today.

On a brighter note the d-bag even gave his D700 a name.

It annoys me when they know that people are gonna want to try the lenses and yet they only have 1 model of each. They should have like 20 of each lens. It’s not like they can’t afford it, they MAKE the lenses….

Well, same here in Holland probably, if Nikon decides to keep the booth as small as last year. Lenses were put on a 1×2m big table in a corner, and three people made a crowd already

I was there it was a good show and the D3s was the best in show in my opinion . The noise handling was insane even at 12,000 iso you couldn’t see any noise and don’t get me started on the AF . Before I even had an idea of what I wanted to focus on the D3s was already there. Now to be fair I went to the Canon booth and I can say that they had nothing close to the D3s . Hence why it was so crowed at the nikon booth ,there was so many people that you had to wait about 20 minutes to use the line of D3’s and D3s the same goes for the lenses .
