Yes I do need that!!! 24p firmware on the canon 5d now. Plus a bunch of rebates on lenses and camera combos. I hope this means Nikon is getting ready to do something

Perhaps not reality… yeah, that’s what the word “rumors” means. I know macrumors.com posts real things as well, but that’s nothing to do with the word “rumors”. I can read announcements of real products everywhere. Rumors sites don’t lose anything if they concentrate on good rumors.

Zim, so you need the 51AF points on the D300s ? DXO rates the D90 better. I am just curious is all. ;- )

The rebates for camera and lenses are over March 27th. The D90s will be announced on March 29th. Maybe the D700s. If not I’m getting the D300s

“New discount for employees who work for Nikon camera dealers: Nikon D700 for $1,999. This offer is valid till April 30th, 2010.”

Anyone know anyone who can help me out? Rats…the offer ends at the end of April…we don’t get back from overseas till the summer…now why doesn’t Nikon offer this price to regular consumers? That’s Sony A850 territory and what I’ve been hunting down for quite some time. Not even used D700′s go that low on Fleecebay.

You can achieve no vingetting at 14mm with X-pro filters as well, which are 130mm. So 150mm filters are more than enough to prevent vignetting.

Could you all stop with the D900 crap. It’s not happening any time soon. IF you are all waiting for it come to out then I highly suggest you stop and move on with your life because it’s not. It simply boils down to whether or not Nikon will release the camera before the D4 and I find it highly unlikely.

The best bet right now is on a D700s.

So you only want to know about the things of interest that are probably NOT reality, instead of the things that are?

If you go to Apple rumor sites (macrumors.com, appleinsider.com) they post both, as I believe they and this site should.

I also used the video once when the camera came home. It is not a major selling point for me, however I wont gripe if the next-gen D700 has it.

If you stick a random person behind a $15,000 camcorder it doesn’t mean they will produce good quality films. But if you stick a Hollywood director behind a $1,000 camera he will produce good results. This has been proven many times.

Quality is relative to the person trying to achieve it.

I have a D90, never made a movie with it (except the first day just to make sure it was crapy video quality)

Not to mention you can’t shoot a SLR & a Camcorder simultaneously & with certain subject eg Kids, Animals , I want to be able to do that.

It is for myself and many others. If you have a car do you carry things in it? Because they are mainly for driving places… I think anyone that buys a car to carry stuff is silly! Does anyone actually know the bene of shooting movies on a camera that can use a 1.2 aperture lens? Stop with the ignorance.

Back in the days of film you could control the depth of field really easily with wide apertures. With digital camcorders you lose the ability to have a shallow depth of field. Digital cameras bring this back and at a fraction of the price.

Please stop with these silly comments. Don’t do this or you are dumb if you do that… the day you give me a digital shoulder mount camcorder for the same price of a d300s we’ll talk.

From Thom Hogan’s 2010 Predictions:

Something not called a D700x: announced by end of March 2010, and probably called something like D900.
D700-type body, new Nikon FX high resolution sensor
more than 18mp, probably 24mp
4-5fps
Best video yet in terms of specs for a Nikon DSLR (not that this is of much interest to anyone reading this site)
