"massimo lanzoni" wrote in message ... about you, will Nikon introduce a full frame (24x36mm) sensor digital SRL ??? if yes or no, why ??? Nikon's imaging president is on record as saying that they could create a full frame, high end DSLR, but haven't because they didn't think there would be much of a market for a US$10k product. As many of the new lenses are DX lens the answer should be clear enough. |

As many of the new lenses are DX lens the answer should be clear enough. A remarkable statement, to say the least. Demand for the Canon EOS 1Ds MarkII is so high, they are near impossible to get. Here in Belgium a waiting list of several months is not uncommon. With some luck, I'll have mine next month. So far for 'not much of a market....' It's a matter of supply and demand, Supply is LOW which is why it takes months to get one. I don't recall the last time somebody even asked for a 1DSmk.IIm I sold a 1Dmk.II on Friday, first one in months compared to more popular 20D and Drebels. If I compared dSLR sales to P&S it would seem like few were buying dSLR cameras. |

"Scharf-DCA" wrote in message oups.com... "Mark Roberts" wrote in message ... It was one of their engineers who was quoted as saying that they were working on full-frame sensors. He issued a retraction a couple of weeks later. Rumor mill has it that higher ups ordered him to do so. You see, if it were to become known for certain that Nikon had a full-frame DSLR in the pipeline, Do you think that there is anyone that doesn't believe that Nikon is working on full frame sensors? they're clearly counting on the new D2x to slow the exodus to Canon until it's ready. It may have some effect, but there are a lot of pros that are getting antsy, and the D2x doesn't get them where they need to be. The weirdest thing is the announcement of the 4 Mpixel D2Hs. Have you actually seen how good the D2H images are? It's not always pixel counts. |

The reason why the D2X is not full frame is one of life's great
mysteries and will probably cost Nikon dear. Many people, like me, seem to be buying the full frame Kodak SLR/n which, thanks to the completely unfounded bad press, is being discounted.

will Nikon introduce a full frame (24x36mm) sensor digital SRL ?
They have reportedly said they will have two classes of solutions, one with the 1.5x sensor and one with the 1x sensor, and have also reportedly said they will stick with the smaller sensors. Both stories have been reported in the press even though they are contradictory. So they are probably looking at the 1x sensors but aren't sure yet if it makes sense to bring them out. if yes or no, why ??? If yes, to compete with Canon, though some of the pressure to compete on pixel count goes away with the D2x. If no, because they don't think the financial numbers make sense. You can always get the Kodak 14n, which has a lot of problems but uses a 1x sensor which accepts Nikon lenses for a lot less $$ than the Canon 1x models. Bill |
