I actually had a dream that Nikon was releasing 7 different DSLR cameras today. I have to say, that was a good dream.

1.2mpx…. perfect for a 720p crop.

Any, actually. The D80 performs quite good up to ISO 1600, the D90/D300/D300s are even better. A D900 will not help, since it would not be DX.

120 fps is at like 2 MP or something.

New Nikon 3 colors sensors, a sensor for each primary color (red, green, blue):
- better dynamic range for the light exposure.
- better ISO sensitivity (the D700 will look like a toy).
- faster processing (a processor for each color).
- easier and better post-processing (photoshop).
- resolution still under 20MP (around 16MP).
The picture quality will be the best ever seen, even better than a blad loaded velvia 50.
Here is the catch : higher price (around $4000) because of the complex prism necessary (to devise the image in the 3 primary colors).

Is there more specs for the P100 or just the same announcement?

I’d like to know how long the frame burst lasts.

If the 120fps burst can last 3-4 seconds, that could make for some interesting 720p video.

NR Admin wrote “I knew that there will be a press release about two DSLR cameras today from Nikon, but I did not expect them to have a press release about products that were already released! This is the story.” … looks like Nikon was on a counter-intelligence mission. Trying to throw NR Admin off and wanting to catch who his sources are… EVIL Nikon

Very disappointed with Nikon!
The new Samsung TL500 looks promising with f/1.8 len. No Evil?
No D400 – D900.

Now if only the Sony would A850 would take my Nikon glass humm
I’ve been helping a friend learn the A380 and I’m impressed with the IQ that
it produces, but the build isn’t as great as Nikon.
I wonder what it would cost me to switch? Not sure if Nikon is going to be able to compete in the long run. They still have a better system and that’s what I bough into when I switched to Nikon, but it sure hurts to see better IQ from a cheaper camera.

Well the D900 will be totaly different with it’s 3 sensors (R,V,B).
This is a new generation of DSLR.

You _need_? I guess you meant to say you _want_.

What do you need about the D900? If you need high-ISO FX, you can buy the D700 or D3s today. If you need high resolution, you can buy the D3x today. If you need high resolution in a lightweight package, you can buy a Sony A900 or A850.
