The time is growing near! ;-)

Setting up the shot, regardless if you get the same picture, really feels different, in a good way. Not $5,000 worth to me though. Well ok, if I had an extra 5g for a camera it would be worth it. What kind of ISO is that anyway? Night vision without the green effect. There is something about using a full frame.

I'm sure that within about 3 or 4 months, they'll introduce the D3X, whatever that means. Next, probably the D3Xs, just like the D2 generation. Yep, that's the name of the game, keep them wanting more and more. That's how companies stay in business! Mark, I agree.

(more spacing between the lenses gathering light). Since Nikon already has wide lenses covered with the DX line, that would seem to be one of the primary advantages - for them to compete with lower noise cameras. If it fits their needs, people will go for it. Holding out for the next generation is a game you will never win - you will always be waiting.

I hate it why I buy something and it's replaced by a new model 3 year later. ;) sfnikon: Yeah but then the D5 will be soon on it's way. Just stick with film - that technology isnt moving too fast these days. ronnie: Wait for D4! You can brag about your camera over those who have a D3. After that, quit reading dpreview and surfing the internet or you will see owners of D5 laughing at your D4. I found interesting converstaion on :

Now if the price on the D200 would just drop substantially I might reconsider. And what about that much rumoured D90? Come on Nikon!
