Neil Armstrong didn't even use a Nikon during Apollo 11, as has been discussed. Marco Polo didn't use a Nikon, either. I wish the moderator would fix this.

There's no reason for Nikon to build that functionality. Nikon doesn't wanting you searching for used lenses on eBay - they want you to buy new lenses. If the lenses are even detachable, then it will take AF-S lenses only - like the D40. I can agree with everything except backwards compatibility with AI/AIS lenses.

Firstly because it's as lame as the L'Oreal hair color slogan "Because I'm worth it". Second, because it is horribly reminiscent of the same retarded, quasi-patriotic "I AM" campaign used by Molsons for their beer products up here in Canada. Thirdly, Nikon most definitely doesn't need to resort to crap social identification marketing for their products. They already have the reputation, and their gear speaks for itself. What's next, free tote bag emblazoned with bunnies and baby feet with every D3x..... I despise this campaign.

Neil Armstrong. "One small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." This doesn't have so much to do with NASA using Nikon cameras (it's nice for them that it reminds people of that too), but think of it from a marketing perspective. They're trying to tell us that there is going to be a giant leap in innovation (we'll be the judge of that, if they had it their way, we'd be in awe of everything they bring to market). I was looking through some of the previous posts, from January, about the naming conventions, etc., for the new full frame Nikon DSLR. Reading in the comments, there were a few people that claimed to know insiders and one person knew someone testing one. While these aren't the most credible sources, one person said that he/she knew someone testing a Nikon. That person wouldn't say anything more than something to the fact of, "It's going to be amzing, everyone's going to want it" (I can't remember the exact quote and don't feel like scouring for it). So perhaps Nikon is going to bring to market an amazing DSLR. However, I have a bad gut feeling that it's going to be one of those lower level Nikons they're releasing. Think about it.
