Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / August 2007Nikonians complaining endlessly about no full frame
NOW are you happy? > NOW are you happy? Yes! [ I don't know if I can afford the beast, and of course we still need to see some field tests. But I have it from one of the beta testers (a person whose judgement I trust) that the IQ of the pre-production models are outstanding. And I already have the lenses. ]  Signature- gisle hannemyr [ gisle{at}hannemyr.no - http://hannemyr.com/photo/ ] > > NOW are you happy? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > (a person whose judgement I trust) that the IQ of the pre-production > models are outstanding.

I think I'd rather apply it to a trip somewhere, where I can take pictures with the camera gear I already own...I think. -- www.mattclara.com > models are outstanding.

No. Now I am waiting for the rumored D4. :-) And where is the 27-300mm VR zoom to give you the 18-200mm DX equivalent? :-) Rita gets three new super-zooms with VR to ruin her pictures. I'm guessing that Nikon will have a higher resolution FX camera in 2008. (I like "FX." It is easier to type than "full-frame.") So now the Holy Trinity of lenses will be 12-24, 24-70, and 70-200. Anybody want my old 12-24 DX? Time for eBay! My old D70, which we still use, is gasping its last. The card slot is getting to be a bit chancy. Maybe it could be fixed; maybe not. I see little point in upgrading from the D200 to a D300. So, maybe I will just sit tight for awhile and wait for a D3x or whatever Nikon is willing to call it. > Rita gets three new super-zooms with VR to ruin her pictures. VR/IS is great on long lenses and I don't find any problems with it. I'll be going with the 500/4L IS for starters. Funny thing is you don't see Nikon being stupid enough to put VR on the 14-24/2.8 and 24-70/2.8. I wonder why? > I'm guessing that Nikon will have a higher resolution FX camera in > 2008. (I like "FX." It is easier to type than "full-frame.") No doubt. > So now the Holy Trinity of lenses will be 12-24, 24-70, and 70-200. > Anybody want my old 12-24 DX? Time for eBay! The 14-24 and 24-70 are really going to be sweet lenses. I have the 17-35/2.8 and 28-70/2.8 and these are killer good lenses that make it hard for Nikon's new offerings to beat. Only way I'm going to upgrade to those two new lenses if they totally blow away my two older lenses. And it sucks that they don't have an aperture ring so putting them on the old 5D and Mk III is out of the question. I got the 70-200mm VR and I still need to pick up Canon's version. Rita >> NOW are you happy? > > No. Now I am waiting for the rumored D4. :-) I expect there'll be at least a few variants on the D3 first. > And where is the 27-300mm VR zoom to give you the 18-200mm DX > equivalent? :-) For 27-300mm equivalent, you stay with DX. :-) > Rita gets three new super-zooms with VR to ruin her pictures. Yes. But he or she will be happy anyway as long as they are big, heavy and very expensive. That's the main thing for Rita, not the pictures. > I'm guessing that Nikon will have a higher resolution FX camera in > 2008. (I like "FX." It is easier to type than "full-frame.") I agree. FX it is, and I will write "full frame" no more. (Not that I had much reason to in the first place, being an ardent DX enthusiast.) > So now the Holy Trinity of lenses will be 12-24, 24-70, and 70-200. That sounds good, but I think you mean 70-300 for that last, unless you're demanding f/2.8 in that range. If Nikon does bring out a 12-24 NX, then they'd better have an 8-16 DX or thereabouts too for the rest of us. > Anybody want my old 12-24 DX? Time for eBay!

Maybe I'll wait for that & get a used D3 then! More than 12MP & I'll need a seriously faster computer & storage. > So now the Holy Trinity of lenses will be 12-24, 24-70, and 70-200. > Anybody want my old 12-24 DX? Time for eBay!
