where there’s smoke there’s forum fire
My Gear-
Nikon D40
18-135 3.5-5.6
35mm 1.8 (Hehe, I bet you guys are all jealous :D)
My wish list
Nikon D90 or D300, just because I have invested in DX lenses already :( (of course, the D90 is more practical and attainable)
SB600
Nikkor 24-70 2.8
Nikkor 70-200 2.8
Nikkor 50mm 1.4 (old or new, I don't really care)
Nikkor 105mm 2.8 macro
Not so bad a wish list, no? :D Sounds like everyone elses' wish lists. :D
I would like to see a development of a wireless (wifi kind) connection between Bodies, Flashes, Remotes and Computers. The current way that it is done is simply a joke. If you want to shoot outside and control your flash remotely you have to get expensive wireless controllers from either Pocketwizard or RadioPopper. And for app $ 800 (WT-4A wireless transmitter) you can have the enjoyment of wifi connection to your computer.
Now make the next DSLR and advanced P&S with build in Wifi, same for next model of flashes. Then offer controllers for current flashes so that they can work with this new system. Sorry Pocketwizard and RadioPopper this would not be so great for you, but then you have Canon and the other brands

D700s or D3x, SB900 or SB600 to acompany my SB800 I have.
I would also like to get a portable powerpack and some pocketwizards.
What I would really like from Nikon is to stop considering their customers morons and really try and make something new and innovative.
Look at all those so called new products they are announcing these days. It is 5 years old technology in a new package and priced sky-high.
D300s is just a slightly updated already overpriced D300 and no one in his right mind would pay 1800 for it when he could get full frame Canon 5DII, Sony α900 or Nikon D700 for just a bit more.
D3000 is actually D40x with slightly better AF but for much higher price.
Ok, they improved 5 year old 18-200 and 70-200 and they should have, but why rising prices?
How successful they are could be seen from sales numbers of D5000, for just a bit less then D90 almost no one is going for it.
Nikon currently has only one dSLR hit product and that is D90, and if they continue like this I think we will soon have a LG branch company named LGN and N would be everything that is left from Nikon.
"D300s is just a slightly updated already overpriced D300 and no one in his right mind would pay 1800 for it when he could get full frame Canon 5DII, Sony α900 or Nikon D700 for just a bit more." - I would, as I don't need FX as DX gives me a 1.5 enlargement factor; however I agree with You that the price should be lower, IMHO d300 should be priced around $1200-$1300 body only
"IMHO d300 should be priced around $1200-$1300 body only" is just what I was trying to say.
I wish for a Leica S2. Oops wrong forum sorry guys :) Make it a D3X then. You know just in case my D70 needs back up.
I completely forgot older gear!
I wouldn't mind getting a good stockpile of film era lenses and bodies. I absolutely love old gear.
currently own:
D90 + D70
50mm f1.8D
18-55mm VR
70-300mm G
SB-600
SB-22
(+ sigma 28-80 macro, sigma 17-35mm aspherical, cactus wireless triggers)
I'd really like:
NEW D90 FIRMWARE (duh)
35mm Ai-S f1.4
105mm f2.8 G VR Micro
plus some dream stuff:
D700, D3 or D3x
D300x
GPS-1
6mm Ai-S f2.8 Fish-eye
28mm f1.4D
50mm Ai-S f1.2D

Nikon 200/2
Nikon 300/2.8VR
Nikon 400/2.8VR
Nikon 600/4
Sigma 300-800/5.624Mpx slr with 14bit raw and at least 5fps in 14bit raw
So that would mean you wanted a D3x 2 years ago. Did you get it?
I got my 105mm Macro, and I'm happy with what I have.
If anything a D7000 would be nice, but not necessary for what I shoot.
Wish they would make
200-400 with buit in x 2 converter
an SB with the power of a studio flash
Wish it would arrive soon
D800
Wish I could afford ( but dont really need )
D4
24mm 1.4
400mm f2.8
