What will the Nikon D300 be like?
Full-frame CCD, compatible with all AF and manual lenses, lower
current draw, smaller form factor, price point under $2,000? When will we see it? This time next year? |

I expect Nikon's long-awaited "auto-compose" feature to finally be included. It'll automatically frame all your shots so accurately that use of the viewfinder will rarely even be necessary. When will we see it? This time next year? It took 3 years to go from the D100 to the D200... -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com |

Yes, but by that time, Canon will have their photo-robot on the market. You won't need to even get up in the morning....You will just tell it to go over to the coast and cover the kite festival, and then you can roll over and go back to sleep........ |

Not only that, the new Canon will accept your instruction to make the scene look like you think it should look. Jim |

This time next year? No, it will be Autumn 2009- Voxels will replace pixels, which in conjunction with AF-D lenses and 12.7 million hidden focusing points, voxel interpolation and radar will create 3D rendered scenes from a photograph. RAW conversion will require similar processing power to a 3DS MAX workstation and will produce genuine photo renders. Composition will be something to do later on- simply move your viewpoint to wherever in the scene you wish. By this point, Canon will have already released three similar models, sharing seventeen firmware updates and three "bad sample" recalls of models that did strange things to the backs of peoples' heads. Oh, but seriously... uh, no full frame. In fact, I suspect a D70s replacement soon as they have been a real bitch to get hold of in the UK. A D80- a D200 chip in a D70s-style body with updated battery and larger screen- wouldn't surprise me. I would like (no, LOVE) to see some more DX lenses from Nikon. My wishlist would be a bunch of wide-aperture FFL lenses covering 28/50/85 (35mm equiv), and a compact DX f2.8 mid-tele zoom (say a new 50-135mm) but i'm not holding my breath. Martin |

Because Canon is, right now, the only company serving those who want FF. Kodak had one for a while...as did Contax, but both were either limited in their application usefulness...or a complete failure (Contax). Can has sold a huge pile of 1Ds Mark IIs, 1Ds bodies to professional photographers, yet there is no equivalent from Nikon. Canon is now selling the lower priced 5D FF as well, which means Canon has established itself as not only the exclusive source of FF 35mm DSLRs, but now into their third generation. Interestingly, Canon was into its third generation of IS lenses by the time Nikon finally got around to offering their own version of IS ("VR"). |

About six months before the 'pre-production' D400 is going to be
reviewed in a photography magazine. (...by then, the Nikon photo world will be waiting for the D500.)

i certainly hope not. as far as i can see ff is a marketing gimmick for
all but dedicated ultra-wide angle enthusiasts. going to ff is a double-edge sword as what you gain in the wide end you lose in the tele and as far as joe consumer is concerned that's more often than not a bum deal. - price point under 2k? done - smaller form factor? why?? i think most everyone associates the size as is with a 'pro' feel that is hardier than toy-like point and shoots. - lower current draw? not sure on the d200 but on a d100 with a battery rated at a 100 less mah lasts me about 500 actuations. i wouldn't exactly call that shabby! i would bet the d300 will have a higher mp count (ho hum), higher continuous fps shooting w/ bigger buffer and perhaps integrate wi-fi and better low light performance. nothing earth shattering. ras |
