First it shows it has a 70-200mm lens and a the focal length is 400 unless you have a 2x on i think the pictures fraud….

especially 6400 iso on a DX… thats pushing it

In this thread there have been quite a few DX versus FX comments. Having used pro gear in the field for years with film I am ALWAYS dismayed how they look in most replay situations. An 8×10 view camera will make a seriously sharp and wonderful tonality print but a D700 will also make a gorgeous print and quickly render a scene for use for Internet or iPhoto etc. For that matter the D90 DX camera is quite amazing. I do think BOTH DX and FX will continue for quite a few years and I am glad I have Nikon glass that will work on both. But sometimes camera size also can get the job done where a D3s or D3s would be just too much for me to risk in the field.

but then i don’t think anybody who owns a D40 would own TC-20, 70-200mm 2.8 and so much as dream of putting them together, not to mention the 6400 ISO, D40 capable of that?

What I’d like to know is how he got a 400MM focal length out of a 70-200 lens?

wouldn’t the exif say there was a teleconverter used if it was the case? For me this inaccuracy ruins the screenshot credibility

FX is so ’80s. If you don’t care too much about quality buy a compact, my pet cat have a NIKON Coolpix P5000, she make decent pictures with it.
Now, if you spend Thousands dollars in lenses, it is better to invest in a large format digital back like the _____. The ____/____ will be a killer, it will be hard to get one during the first 6 months and certainly not at a discount price.

And what is that all based upon?

I still don’t get it.
Why Sony need 4 Cell Processor cores on the fucking handheld system. We are going to play Crysis 2 on the Go or what?

Whats the point of this? It’s like Sony wants to make a bad start with it or make five hundred and ninty nine US dollars with Giant Enemy Crab again?

Will the DX D400 or any new FX come first?

A basic entry-level plastic body FX D600 can be expected before the upgrade of D700. Same sensor and processor from D700, no video, low budget option for photo-enthusiasts.

The upgrade direction may have 3 options:
1) one model solution, D800: new sensor, similar noise levels of D700 but around 18mp plus 1080p video
2) two model solution,
a) D700x: D700 body, same sensor from D3x, no video, restricted functions, mainly for studio & landscape phographers,
b) D700s: D700 body, same sensor from D3s, 1080p video, low noise at high ISO, restricted functions, for PJ’s, wedding photographers, videographers, etc.
3) all of the 3 above, but in which order?

D40-sized FX is weird, because unless using a 50mm, most FX lenses, even the f/4 ones will be too bulky causing an unbalanced combination. Something between D700 & D90 will be the min. reasonable size for an FX body.

Even it will be an entry-level FX, they can’t make it without AF motor. It will be a stupid move. It will likely be a body smaller and more lightweight than D700, but not like a D40.

Plus, if ever made, its name will be likely D600. D400 is the expected upgrade to D300, likely 16mp with full-HD video.
