chris hughes Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Looks like there's been an official announcement for the Japanese release. http://www.nikon.co.jp/main/jpn/whatsnew/2007/1031_d3_01.htm Not sure if this means the US release will happen on the same day or not.

frankie_frank1 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Also, it seems that all new Nikkor will be AF-S for fast focusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjørn rørslett Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I was told today by Nikon Nordic that my first D3 will arrive beginning of December, 2007. My plans were to commence testing of the D3 before the D300, but since the latter might arrive a few days earlier, I could as well start with that model first.

Michael R Freeman Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 <i>"Also, it seems that all new Nikkor will be AF-S for fast focusing."</i><P> That has been the case for at least 4 years. The last new lenses to be released that were not AF-S were the DX 10.5mm Fisheye-Nikkor and 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6G in 2003. IIRC, every lens since has been AF-S.

dan_brown4 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Geez, I would just love to have a D3 and 24-70/2.8. Can anybody help me out with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris hughes Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 Tom: I disagree. Nikon hasn't had any issues recently filling pre-orders of new cameras. In fact, even the D200 stocked up REALLY quickly. Everyone on Ritz's huge waiting list got one in the first batch. Nikon has ramped up their production capability since the D200 release and the demand for D300s is likely to be somewhat lower than demand for the D200 was. I fully expect everyone who pre-ordered one from a large retailer to get one in the first batch. I also expect to see the body on shelves and readily available in December.

studor13 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Bjorn, could we please swap jobs? OK, seriously, I'm sure I speak for all Nikon users that we appreciate and look forward to your reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southjerseyphotos Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Hey Chris Thanks for that info, I had no Idea on that.I am 35th on a list at a local shop for the 300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_langieri Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Would you be better off pre-ordering the D300 (body) with the local Ritz stoore in the mall or with a local Nikon dealer (hi-end camera shop here in western mass)? Decisions, decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
