Ok I see another trend: soap vs Nikodoby type threads :D
While I can understand the hope for a best-in-all-categories type of camera, why couldn't a firm like Fujifilm take the already-done homework of the D3S sensor and throw it in a DX format with less Mpx for a similar (if not below) price to a S5pro?
If Nikon or Canon or Fujifilm doesn't do it, Apple or Nokia or Asus will perhaps do it (ok I feel very fragile on this last argument :D )
6Mp DX camera with 102400 ISO capabilities?

Maybe because the D3 series sensor is a Nikon trade secret. Fuji would have to buy the rights to it and Nikon would say, "hells no!" :^)
And don't worry about me and soap guys. I have nothing against him (REALLY) our discussion just didn't belong in this thread thats all.

In all honesty, I really want this camera to exist. I love low light shooting, but since I started shooting, I've printed very few shots... I mostly view my photos digitally on my computer with its crappy <100 DPI resolution. For me, 12MP is total overkill. That's why I tend to shoot with my D40 and not fight my girlfriend for the D90.
If I could have the DX Crop of the D3s (5 MP's if I'm not mistaken), I'd be a happy man, and could shoot in near darkness. I'd pay $1200 for such a camera.

You'd pay over $1000 for a 5mp camera?! Wow?! How many 5mp point & shoots cost over $400 now a days? Actually are there any 5mp cameras other then mobile phones?

Yes Niko I would... provided it had the capeabilities (FPS & ISO) of the D3s. Heck... Pixel for pixel its a bargain compared to the D3s !

That was in my Pro DX thread, this will simply cost $2000+ to make, the body alone without a sensor would properly cost $1200+ if it has speed and things on par with a D300s
I don't think it could sell, what do you know one more fist together for Bmxdad and Niko(you still have that girlie bracelet)

Of course I would never throw a gift from you away. Wrap it up and give it to someone else as a quick gift maybe, but I'd never throw it away :^)

I thought Fuji owned Nikon... didn't they?

OMG you did NOT just ask that optima!!! 8^(
lol, no Nikon is part of the Mitsubishi Group. Nikon has sold camera bodies to Fuji for them to put their own image sensors inside.

Fuji is also a surname/mountain/river in Japan. The Fuji in the address of a Nikon building just means it's named after a person/mountain/river not that the camera company Fujifilm owns Nikon. I can see why some would be confused though.

I agree on that. Of course it's just a coincidence. Yet Fuji and Nikon have so many things in common that it's very confusing for a non japanese audience. Luckily I'm japanese and can see that Nikon HQ is in Chiyodaku in Tokyo while Fujinon is is Saitama...
