New Nikon Professional DSLR, D3... maybe

In the next week we may see Nikon's new D3 DSLR camera. Although the actual model number is still a closely guarded secret, be ready for 2 new features said to put Nikon way above anything its rivals currently offer. Maybe it's a hard drive enabled camera, 60GB would be nice! Full frame sensor is something I understand is NOT on the cards. That's super good news, as I have a number of DX lenses which would be unuseable on a full frame sensor. Maybe we will be looking at 12fps in burst mode at 6MP. I'll update this blog as soon as I have further info!

Any news on an update of the Canon 5D - Canon rules.

That's fighting talk! Re the 5D, Not that I'm aware of. I'll look into it. Canon/Nikon DSLR, you are lucky either way.

I have not got a 5D - it is a dream - I have a Canon 350D

Cheers

It goes Light, Lens, Camera... so an upgrade is only third on the list. On the other hand the 5D is a very nice camera! Go on, give it some serious thought, have I planted the seed?

There is a suspicion it will be released with Win XP and not Vista Ultimate. If true it will be a dog.

Looks like the Nikon D3 or D300 will be announced around 25th August. As least, that's the current rumour.
