What if Nikon releases a DX D400 with a body like the D300?

How will they justify a DX with that build quality while the D600 FX body is...less? Why think in terms of justify? Build it and they will come. -- Regards, Savageduck |

So you believe a DX successor to the D300S should have a lesser body than the camera it succeeds? -- Regards, Savageduck |

As a Canon user, I'm not familiar enough with the subtle differences among those various Nikon bodies to relate to the law very well. Does it apply only in Nikonia, or are there corollaries for other manufacturers' products? A clear statement now may forestall all sorts of bickering in the future.

Well, I guess Rich may be saying, in a roundabout way, that a camera that contains more plastic than a camera of lower assigned status in its product line is an aberration. But we're all perfectionists here, and I, for one, think we need a more precise exposition of this so-called "law". Bob |

To put it in a word let me just say, "plastics". No, the D7000 is a second-tier body compared to the D300, metal or no metal. Just one small point, the grip is lousy, compared to the far more ergonomic D300 grip. But the half plastic part certainly doesn't help. |
