Since Cannot will be at the CES next week promoting their photo equipment it would be interesting if Nikon released those lenses then. With Nikon anything’s possible.

Still waiting for the D700 replacement so I can see what the 14-24 can really do. I bought the 12-24 when it came out and rely very heavily on it have probably done well in excess of 50K shots with it. Still rely on it for the pola or grads. And still pissed about a Chinese replacement for it.

Happy new year everyone!
Looking forward to the leaks of the next announcements (February?)
Hopefully there’s the announcement of the long-awaited SB-700 with SB-900 UI…

Happy new year!

I do not know what cameras or what lences that will be released in 2010. But I know I will read it first at NikonRumors.com.

I quite like the 10-24, but i wouldn’t trade it for my 12-24. Even less for my 14-24.

You know, Ansel Adams never had a camera as good as the D3000, but he still managed to take good photos.

The difference in ISO performance between DX and FX is only one stop and the camera will be obsolete within 18 months. $1300 buys a quite nice lens.

If you are shooting telephoto most of the time then the DX format is superior, Instead of paying $6000 for the heavy 200-400 f/4 zoom, you can use the much smaller and cheaper 70-200 which becomes a 105-300 f/4.

If instead of buying the D3 when it came out, you had bought the D300, you could then use half the amount you saved buying the D300s and have exactly the same ISO response.

I started a best and worst of but gave up. Canikon are garbage Jap companies selling worthless high-priced, high depreciation turds to North American suckers that make too much money. My best Nikon looks like a 1960 F without the metal case and interchangeable viewfinder, focus screen, and back. These companies are luddites, living in a world of ten year product cycles and 20 year lense cycles. Imagine if a newspaper company threw a party 8 times a year to herald an issue. Nikon won’t be back picking our pockets until Photokina in 9 months. We’re just garbage with a wallet to them and they don’t care about holes in the lense lineup. They look at their spreadsheets and see if they can come up with some variable aperture plastic made in China molded element lense they can hang a string of letters and a gold ring on.

This years dump was the 10-24 amateur lense made in China selling for a thousand bucks. The fools that bought this goat owe us big time because it will spur Nikon into becoming more audacious in the future. You want 80 buck plastic Chinese lense caps you’ll get them Nikon fanboy sucker.

You asked for it Fanboy, you’ll get it. That’s my prediction for 2K10. Use the equipment you’ve got now. Don’t feed the Asian Dragon. it will turn on you and drop one on you as before. Wise up next year, eh?

I’m sorry, as much as I’d like to, I’ve already given out the “post of the year” award.

Next time you feel inclined to drop a ton of the funny on us, please remember that all submissions must be received no later than the 30th of December.

I don’t prefer FX only because I’m stupid, old, idiot and French, but because you can get much better results with FX compared to DX.
First, better image quality at same ISO, also the FX sensor is larger than the DX sensor so you get better DOF and less sensitivity to dust.
Comparing a FX sensor to a DX sensor is like comparing the film medium format with 24x36mm.
I have been using view cameras, medium and 24×36 films cameras, DSLR DX (D200, D40, D5000, D90) and FX D700, I think I have now an idea of what I’m talking about.
Happy new year everyone )
