Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / July 2005D200 Trademark
Just an FYI - Nikon trademarked "D200" in the U.S. on July 14th. It is serial #78670451 Walt > Just an FYI - Nikon trademarked "D200" in the U.S. on July 14th.

I doubt that it will be much less of a bombshell in the market that the D70 was a year or so ago. > Just an FYI - Nikon trademarked "D200" in the U.S. on July 14th.

There will be a D200 soon, but NDA prevent anyone with inside info to reveal real details. My speculation is a second generation megapixel LBCAST (3 generation of the D2H sensor) in a D100 chassis. I would suggest a non switchable 12 mp, not the 6/12 mp in the D2X. Sorry no 24x36mm "full-frame" sensor. Expect more DX lenses announced at the same time. It will be a good follow-up for the D100. >>> Just an FYI - Nikon trademarked "D200" in the U.S. on July 14th.

Aimed at the same market segment as the Canon 20D I guess now people are hoping the D200 manual will get leaked like the D50 and D70s were. Bet Nikon's webmaster won't make that error again ;) > I guess now people are hoping the D200 manual will get leaked like the D50 > and D70s were.

What you are suggesting cost a lot more than that and if Nikon can get it at that price, even at $2000, it'll be a new leader. >>>>Just an FYI - Nikon trademarked "D200" in the U.S. on July 14th.

I would guess $2,000 CDN, was sort of a hint. >Just an FYI - Nikon trademarked "D200" in the U.S. on July 14th. It is >serial #78670451 > >Walt Walt, Where did you check this? Has Nikon trademarked something like D300 or D2Xs or even D3? -:) Father kodak >>Just an FYI - Nikon trademarked "D200" in the U.S. on July 14th.

Go to the US Patent & Trademark Office website <http://www.uspto.gov/> select Trademarks -> Search select "New User Form Search (Basic)" Enter Search Term: "Nikon" Select Search Field: "Owner Name and Address" Then hit "Submit Query" button > A replacement for the D70s? Or positioned in between the D2-series > and the D70s? The D100/D200 are Nikon's "intermediate" series camera positioned between the "entry" series D70 and the "advanced" series D1/D2. Single digit model number for advanced, double digit for entry, tripple digit for intermediate. Randy. >>Just an FYI - Nikon trademarked "D200" in the U.S. on July 14th.

Walt >http://www.uspto.gov/ > >This was the only new filing for Nikon. > >Walt Walt, Thanks for the URL. I went to this web site and here is part of the info for the D2X: Word Mark D2X Goods and Services IC 009. US 021 023 026 036 038. G & S: digital cameras. FIRST USE: 20050225. FIRST USE IN COMMERCE: 20050225 Mark Drawing Code (1) TYPED DRAWING Serial Number 78226472 Filing Date March 17, 2003 Current Filing Basis 1B Original Filing Basis 1B Published for Opposition March 23, 2004 Owner (APPLICANT) NIKON CORPORATION CORPORATION JAPAN 2-3, Marunouchi 3-chome Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo JAPAN 100-8331 Note that Nikon filed for this trademark about a year before it was "published for opposition," which I guess means that other companies can claim that Nikon is infringing on their trademark. And, the trademark was filed about 18 months before the D2X was even announced. I don't know anything about trademarks and trademarking. Does anyone in this group know if this 12 and 18 month lead time is typical for Nikon or for photomanufacturers in general? So, is the actual D200 announcement about 18 months away? For competitive reasons, I would doubt it. There was no trademark filing for a D3 or D2Xs or D2-anything beyond the D2X. But in this case I wouldn't be surprised if Nikon is planning a late 2006 or even 2007 announcement for the D2X follow-on.

The D50 was registered Feb 18, 2005, I would suggest the D200 could ship before Christmas 2005. >>Just an FYI - Nikon trademarked "D200" in the U.S. on July 14th.
