I agree with you PB, and I am sure Nikon will do the same as Canon, first semi pro response to 7D (D400?) and then something for the masses ...
As for FX I personally see no reason to go for something cheap and plastic ... D700 replacement would do fine
D90 Versus T2i ISO Samples

I wonder whether you could get viewfinder coverage for FX in a D90 sized body. I would think the prism, etc., would need to be bigger for full frame.
I'm considering buying a D300s now, so any improvements in the next generation of DX replacements are just frosting an already delicious cake. I certainly won't turn improvements down, and I might wait a few months to see what happens.

BTW, I'd wait on the D300s as the D90 to D300s upgrade may disappoint you. Then again, it may not, right PB PM and sidewinder?

Would they really update the d300s so soon? I have a compositing class in June I want to be able to take HD footage for. I've been waiting for firmware updates or something to come along.

I take it you're not satisfied with the HD video that it already does, pher. I doubt they're going to change available framerate settings even if they can. It makes more sense to put it in a new release as an upgraded feature.

There's only so much you can do with work-around's and manual lenses. I'm trying to comp 3D elements into live plates and it's really just not worth it if your shots aren't consistent.

The solution Nikon came up with for consumer film cameras was 92% or 89% viewfinder views.

I'm guessing that when it comes to density and resolution there's a fall off beyond which the manufacturer must improve the software and hardware at a cost far greater than one is willing to pay for a T2i. Professionals who spend tens of thousands on their Nikon and Canon lenses aren't about to risk their business on a cheaper body.

They are comparing it to the D90 in the same images. On the verdict page they also do a summary comparing it to the D5000.

Did you read through the article? It's a review of the T2i/550D not an exclusive side-by-side comparison of just Nikons. They put up ISO samples against the D90, yes. They talk about all the other cameras that they feel are competing with the canon in the verdict page. One of the cameras being the D5000. The D90 and D5000 have the same 12mp sensor. Not sure why it doesn't make sense to you.

I did read the entire article. As to why it doesn't make sense is individual opinion I guess. Still makes no sense to me. Why use the D90 as the comparison unit throughout for pictures, and then say that the D5000 is the main rival? Does having the same sensor guarantee the exact same image processing within the camera?

Again it's a review of the T2i and not a direct side-by-side comparison to the D90 or D5000. At the time this was one of the very first reviews of the canon.
