i almost thought it was the D4...but then, i realized it wasn't...

"possible d4 and d700 replacements shown on nikon UK website"

Wait! The D4 is being replaced already! Damn! That was fast. When did it come out? I knew the D700 was going to be replaced but the D4? Already? Wow. Where the hell have I been?

Ahh you guys had me all excited for a minute.
even registered on the forum to post...

It's just a D3x unfortunately.
The filename path even gives you a clue that it's old (2009 Spring):

A larger version of the exact photo they used, a D3x with 14-24:

Also no, there's no D4 directory online yet ;)

Guys, seriously...? This is a whole new form of pixel peeping :)

Okay people, you drive me mad,

just click on the picture and you will know what camera is displayed.

Just the present lineup, nothing from the future, nothing sinster or hidden.

plus the D3000

sigh..........think I will go and hang out with wendy

boo

We're talking about the Pro SLRs. 6 in the photo, only 4 in the discription.

There are 3 pro bodies and I'm not sure what the 1st from left is. The 10 point pin cover can't be seen properly.

The photo of Consumer bodies shows five bodies, but Nikon has 6 listed. So I don't think you can read much into the Pro bodies - looks like three D3's to me.

You can't say much from the pixels where the D? is - could as easily be D3 as D4.

Maybe D3000, D3100, D5000, D5100, D90 and D7000?

I think the cameras are: D3, D3x, D3s, D700, D300 and D300s.

True which is why is puzzling

maybe the d300 is there, but try to zoom in on the entire image and hover over the pro body on the center.. the silhouette of the pixels look like a 4 to me (d4)..

I'm going to say that is looks similar enough to just be a D3 and D300 however it seems odd they would put it like this. It seems as if the bottom row has a D40 too

hello everyone.. check this link out:

http://www.europe-nikon.com/en_GB/products/category_pages/digital_cameras/category_SLR.page?sParamValueLbl=Digital%20Cameras&sParam1ValueLbl=SLR&ParamValue=Digital%20Cameras&Subnav1Param=SLR&Subnav2Param=0&Subnav3Param=0&RunQuery=0&ID=0

i don't know whether i'm seeing double, but the banner on this page that has the link to the professional dslr page has 6 professional bodies in it.. i couldn't quite make out what the model numbers were on the bodies, but i'm positive that there are 6 professional camera bodies shown here.. are these the d3s and the d700 replacements?

I never knew that P&S only went up to f8…

If you are looking to increase your depth of field, you don't really need to worry about f-stop on a compact. On the wide end the P7000 is 5mm I think? Even on the long end you are probably always shooting at hyperfocal distance by f/8. Also, you are way into diffraction being relevant by f/8 on a compact, so f/11 would probably just blur the whole image more.

tried one of these yesterday.

needless to say, my wife and i much prefer my old canon sx10is.

the p7000 has a horrible plastic body. the scroll is very small and hard to use. in manual i could use the scroller wheel for the aperture, but how the hell do i adjust shutter speed?

clunky toy feel.

but it does have a lot of buttons, and may take reasoable shot.

if i liked point and shoot my money would go to canon.

ironic that i love the heavy metal feel of the nikon slrs but their top of the line "G11 killer" feels like a toy compared to a canon.

the 5d feels like a toy compared to my d700 though.

lol there is no way the p7000 p+s is going to rival a 4/3 camera. esp. the nex5 the sensor is tiny!

look at this

http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/P7000/P7000A.HTM

compared to this

http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/NEX5/NEX5A.HTM

the nex5 has better iso1600 than a d5000!

it will be really interesting to see nikons EVIL camera. then we might have a challenger.

Thanks to both of you ! Very interesting reading :o)

I know why I love my D300 and lenses so much ! :oD

I don't need to wait for a review because as gareth mentions there is no way the P7000's small sensor is going to match must less exceed a bigger sensor from a NEX like camera. As for your previous question about DOF Bernard, you can't get DSLR-like Depth-of-Field from such a small sensor. It's pretty common for point & shoots to only be able to go up to f8.

I think the P7000 is too little too late. It doesn't kill the Canon G11 like Nikon said it would. It's just a G11 copy that doesn't really do anything that much better then the G11 or 12. It pretty much just equals them.

Wait till you can actually try one or read some serious field test… :o)

hey johnny.. what do you think? how does the spec and samples compare to your nex?

Reading everything I can find on the Internet about the P7000, I found that the French Nikon site says the video is 30 fps, not 24. Is that good or bad ? (I've never used a photo camera for video).

Also, I've read somewhere that the minimum f number is 8, and that's why they have included a neutral grey filter. What about the effect on the depth of field ?

To me, a viewfinder, even if it's not quite 100% is invaluable, and that rules out the nex5, but it's everyone's choice of course.

Hey ! Xmas is coming soon :o)
