I'm so excited!

I'm hoping that it will be the new D800 with a high resolution sensor so I can get it for Christmas.

What do you expect?
08/18/2011 02:19:09 PM · #2
Aaarrgghhh! Just when I was thinking about buying a D300s as a backup and a good choice for my sports photography, I now have to be tempted by whatever extraordinary offering Nikon will be releasing to replace my D700.

I've got so many other things I have been planning to spend money on, now Nikon wants to further complicate the nonstop debate raging in my head!

At least you have a wife to keep you in check.

I'm dangerously single and have to be responsible to reign myself in.

I posted in another thread:

I would get new Nikon for Christmas if:

24MP (FX of course)
HD Movie mode WITH auto focus
Fold out type screen
$3000 or Less price range

Been waiting for over 2 years for this so yes, just a teeny tiny bit excited!!
08/18/2011 03:12:07 PM · #7
Hoping for the D700 replacement but rumors seem to think it will be a Coolpix and mirrorless announcement on the 24th. I already have a few FF lenses and want the camera to match.

Not in the slightest bit excited.

Can't understand why the interest.... :P

They're going to announce white lenses. ;0
08/18/2011 04:36:38 PM · #11
Any idea what they are? Or specs? Or prices? Come the new year I'll be getting a new body I think.
08/19/2011 09:21:43 AM · #12
I really hope that it will be a FF high megapixel camera. It would be a good tool for stock.
08/19/2011 09:27:19 AM · #13
Likely:

24mp
Full Frame
Auto Focus HD Video

I'm probably more excited that it might pull down the prices of other ones to be honest.
08/19/2011 09:40:35 AM · #15
I'll have a D700 with less than 5500 clicks to sell by Christmas.

I'll keep my D700. It's a fantastic camera.

Even yesterday I shoot a bullfight at night @ iso 6400 with great results.

I'll sell my old D300 that is my backup camera right now.
08/19/2011 10:39:39 AM · #17
I seem to be "just behind the latest/greatest camera" so I'll sell my D700 to get the 800 for Christmas if the price and features are to my liking.

Can you post a few of those Bull fighting pics? I've never used 6400 and I'd like to see "real" results.

Not that I'm interested, but isn't the D4 (or whatever it'll be called) also well an truly due?
08/19/2011 10:53:06 AM · #19
When's the announcement date?
08/19/2011 01:37:04 PM · #20
My D3s and D3 will be with me for a long time. 12MP amazing high ISO and dynamic range, and AF that just plain rocks. I'm set for a while.

According to Nikon Rumors the D4 is slated to appear in 2012.

Probably December 21, 2012.

And still no D700 updates...

All the announcements today were for compact P&S cameras. Sigh.

LOL, same as Canon. It's apparent that the product life cycle in SLRs is increasing, which makes sense. As the market matures, the rate of change is slower, and they want to get more for their development investment.
