boy am i glad i sold my d70s...that price would have dropped even more!

[Phil Rudin]

An english update has been added. http://www.dpreview....ndslrteaser.asp

My guess: a D70 with the D200 sensor in it, or if not the D200 sensor, then the 2-channel readout sensor used in the Sony Alpha.

Yes. It's very unlikely to be any other 10.2M pixel sensor. I think the latter is more likely. It'll probably be 3 frames/second and don't need 4 channels of readout.

Must be the D80/90... Interesting news indeed. Here is the link to the teaser:

I guess it will also have the large screen of the D200 too. Probably a D200 sensor and screen, with plasticy body and a less good AF (possibly a new module).

The big question is will it fit in existing D200 or possibly D70 housings?

"Plasticy"? Must be a technical term...

[craig nelson]

I'm Completely Bloody sick of this digital !!

I'm going back to film !!!, i never needed a new camera then !



craig..

after just buying his new D200

This might give me the excuse I needed to pull the AA filter pack off my D70 and turn it into a dedicated infra red body.

Interesting that the normally inscrutable and very close-mouthed Nikon is actually doing some marketing. Here's hoping they have the production capacity in place to meet demand.

I think they are saying: Wait. Don't go and order that Sony A100 yet.

They also announced the D70 way before ship date for similar reasons.

I agree with Herb.

first to market rules the competition.

dSLR's wars remind me of the game console wars between nintendo/sony/xbox...its all about one-up-manship!

LOL. i wonder what the price point would be? same as the d70s?

[james]

Well...is the extra 4 megapixels worth an upgrade from the D70S?

Cheers

HI,

It would be great if it would fit in my D70 Seacam housing

So I would not have to save up for a D200 + housing

I would be very interested in picking up a used d70 body. Or two.

[murderone]

Why would anyone use equipment from a company that created the RS debacle? This is a company a day late--a dollar short and never failing to abandon customers. I don't think I care what they come out with--Mess with me once shame on you mess with me twice shame on me--or words to that effect. Count me as a Canon user folks.

[james]

Ouch!
