I dont know why people would be upset about the release of the d7000, reading various posts about people who were debating about waiting or to purchase a d90, most d90 owners say “just buy it.” At the end of the day, if you are happy with the camera, there should be no hard feelings no matter how many newer versions are released. Here’s hoping for a 30fps video feature…(and awesome picture taking as well)

“Expert”, online retailer in Sweden just dumped the D90 body to $800 from $1100

I agree that 12MP is enough IF the noise control is improved. It won’t make sense to increase MP at the price of getting more noise lol

To be or not to be, that is the question.
I’m waiting for the D800, but if NIKON come out with a D700x, I’ll still be happy.
Happy hollidays, make sure you take many pictures of your friends and familly.

Actually I am in the same situation.
Will soon replace my trusty D200 (need better low light capabilities). D300S I believe is just a stop gap model until the D400 arrives (summer 2010?) – and as I do not know the high ISO specs on it I think I would be better off aiming for a FX body – but the D700 is getting old (and if you plan to hold on to your new camera for 5+ years it is better IMHO to buy a new release)..

This said, I plan to buy D700S (even if it also is a stop-gap model) or D800, whatever arrives next.

The Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G DX is not faster than the Nikkor 35mm f/2.0D AF.

The T-stop of the Nikkor 35mmm f/1.8G DX is f/2.2 while the T-stop for the Nikkor 35mm f/2.0D AF is a real f/2.0.

This makes the Nikkor 35mm f/2.0 a faster lens than the Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G DX.

count me in as one who would switch to canon if they were to do this. Once I wanted to upgrade the camera that is.

they “need” AF-s in at least something wide (something: below 20, 20-30, 35), something tele (something 85, 135, 180/2.8), a decent performing “super”zoom (24-120-II), and prosumer tele-zoom (80-400 f/4-5.6) before their line up is set for removal of the screwdrive. The wide and tele primes also goes for DX except for 35mm and include fast zooms.

I have always frowned upon cameras with stickers or labels shouting out what specs it has, especially the permanent labels annoy me. Not everyone has to know my camera has so and such specs, as long as it can take photos that on my standards are good. People need to judge photos, not the camera that took it.

its not all about “able to” but it is about distinguising the products in your line up

2008:
D700: July 1
D90: August 27

Almost the same age, D90 is the oldest DX then.

I agree, keep the motor

After reading some of these posts, I’ve realized that a lot of people on this site are way too gullible. I think I should create some rumors to cause even more dialogue among the community.

it would be a massive mistake to take the motor out of the D90 Line – the other question was about CLS (not mentioned in the article) which also would be devestating to remove. The CLS and bigger body are things that make some people pick the camera over the T1I – going smaller and removing the more advanced controls (separate shutter/aperture) would kill that line. Would they really leave the d300 etc as the least expensive cameras that can make use of the entire Nikon history? MISTAKE!!!

I can’t understand why if NIkon Co is reluctant to increase the number of mpixels on the Fx range they are going to do it in DX’s cameras. The road maps are resulting groundless rumors to cheer up the forums. I don’t know who released that fake (I can figure it out ) I guess It will happen just the opposite.

So? Keep enjoying your D90 then. Why care that some other camera you do not have is not to your liking?
