Nikon D2x - it's official
Since you're all asleep, I figure I'll do the generous thing:
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0409/04091605nikond2x.asp 1.5x crop - whatever, follows what Nikon said they would do. Interesting to see if they keep the noise down and what the Canon response will be. -- http://www.pbase.com/bcbaird/ |

The 5.5 um sensel spacing will challenge many existing lenses, but the smaller sensor reduces angle-of-incidence problems and reduces the image circle demanded. -- -Stephen H.

Nope....its a real useful function for photojournalists. We don't always
need more MP but its nice to know its there if we need it...more often we need speed. I can see myself using both. "Brian C. Baird" wrote in message .. . In article , says...
