Nikon D3 announced!

[Slapo]

Now Nikon users can use their cameras as door stops, just like Canon users:

I'm abusing what someone wrote in this forum some time ago (meaning the door stop thing).

Great!

But I though both Canon and Nikon already did this and called them battery grips.

We've heard the complaints about the noise of Nikon cameras versus their Canon counterparts for a couple of years now," Kogaku said. "We've done our very best with the D40, D80, and D200 to provide better noise performance, and while I feel we succeeded, the public apparently disagrees. For this reason, we've completely removed the mirror from the D3. No mirror slap means no noise whatsoever.

Brilliant.

If i save up I could build an photo studio extension out of these!

So for medium format you would use a breeze block?

Titter ye not - a guy I know who's in the know tells me that Nikon will be releasing 3 new models by the end of September.....
Something between the D200 & D2x, a new compact & one "high end" body.
Will be watching with interest......

DP members don't seem very happy with it - read the replies

That's bloody funny...lol

You bumping this thread up isn't funny though. For a minute I thought the D3 had actually been announced ahead of schedule. That was a cruel thing to do.

 

[RickMezza]

I thought the new release was a D300, out this autumn :shrug:

Your right as well. Rumours have it that a D300 and a D3 will be announced, although the D3 might end up as D3H and D3X, but we'll find out soon enough.

 

[chuckles]

That was very immature and rude bump! Grrrr :bang:

 

[Ewan]

MK and Chuckles - Didn't I tell you about the stacks of D300's I saw in Jessops today?










Or did I dream it
