Sanford Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I guess if there was going to be a new D200 we would have seen an anouncement from Nikon by now. The F6 was a total surprise though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick smith Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Methinks that the D70 will suffice as the general replacement for the D100. What can they do to the D100 that wouldn't take a bite out of D70 sales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Nikon is a relatively small compnay. They don't have the R&D capacity to develop many new cameras simultaneously. Obviously they were working on the D2X and F6. Prior to those, the D70 was announced in early 2004 and the D2H in mid 2003. Nikon will likely have something to compete against the new Canon 20D: a consumer-grade 8MP DSLR, possibly with a consumer-version of the 11 AF point Multi-CAM 2000; IMO the Multi-CAM 900 is simply too old now. However, the new camera's AF will be clearly inferior to the D2H/D2X so that it won't seriously cut into their pro sales. We probably won't see this new announcement until at least early 2005.

jim_zwig Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 8MP, N80D, Color3DMatrix Metering, $1500 MSRP. I have D70. I will wait until 12MP or 24MP D140 three~five years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Williams Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 It would be nice to see a 'digital F100' with comparable AF to the pro bodies, a decent finder (with no pop-up flash to compromise it), something like F100 build quality, and a pixel count to match the 20D. This would probably sell well at around the F5 price level, but might kill too many sales of the D2 series for Nikon's comfort. Maybe in a year or two...

juan_su Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I think a great solution to many of these debates would be to come out with worthy digital backs that have a upgradable port for megapixel counts and buffers. That way, great bodies like the F100, F5 and some of the older pro bodies can benifit from them. I would love to see a 8MP or 16MP digital back for the F5! That to me would be the almost perfect camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinphoto - arlington, t Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 And maybe a D3X FullFrame 20MegaPixel in year 2010. Who's know? Maybe there will never be a fullframe. Who's care. just keep on shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
