Maybe you should  as they're stating that it'll be a different sensor as the D700 cannibalised sales of the D3s by having the same sensor and they're therefore moving on towards two more distinct lines.

[Johnny Brown]

they're stating

They're guessing.

The D700 probably did cannibalize some of the D3 sales which (I guess) triggered

D4 specs sound plausible but the D800 less so. Either way I doubt it will be on sale for the best part of a year.

(why wouldn't you hold your breath, NR were spot on Re: D7000 and SB700?)

Is there nobody to go to the pub with on a Fri night as well? They guessed pretty well last time, thats all and I'm not looking for an argument, Acer is fulfilling that part of my day.

[Tris]

I wouldn't hold your breath. What isn't good enough about the D700?

No full HD video... in fact no video at all.. unless you do this (yes Nikon and Canon can work in harmony):

I want an FX Nikon body that shoots 1080p video

This little camera has the most ridiculously complicated instruction manual.  Trying to turn off all the intelligent this and anus recognition that...

It's quite small too. I hadn't really realised how little it would be. Hmm.

[SA Chris]

Try standing closer?

[cofe]

Stainless Steel 'blad anyone? Yes please!



(Don't know how to make photo smaller...)

move your head backwards.


They also do a Ferrari version, just so you don't have to deal with that awful situation where you turn up at the crag and your camera and car don't coordinate.



The stainless one would be idea for a Delorean driver.

[Johnny Brown]

Got one o' them. Use it wi' one o' them babby lenses.

[dontfollowme]

Panasonic LX5 for £305 deliverd Nice price.

[cofe]

Saw that earlier. Camera Price Buster has the lx3 listed at over a ton more!

[cofe]

Olympus XZ-1 looks interesting.



Nice fast lens, Zuiko branding. Two control dials. But only 28mm at wide.

[slackline]

If you're limited on space you could try one of these



Controls look to be a bit fiddly.

[dave]

So you D3x and 1dsMkIII owners think you've got a big camera right? Think again.

 

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

So you D3x and 1dsMkIII owners think you've got a big camera nose right? Think again.

 

[SA Chris]

Harsh. Looks like she nose what she's doing with that thing though.

[dave]

Who nose.

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

"My that's a big snoot"

[Johnny Brown]

First I've heard of this:



24-100mm f/1.8-4.9 lens, 1080p30 video, 'Classic' design... looks promising. First real competition for the LX5 in my book...

[slackline]

That looks very nice (although dpreview have either been sitting on that for some time or made a typo as the closing paragraph indicates its available March 2010).

[dontfollowme]

I don't think it does raw though.

[Johnny Brown]

Jesus, no it doesn't. Nikon you retards!!!

[dave]

even worse, there's nowhere to put the film.

[cofe]

I don't think it does raw though.

back around!

[Paul B]

Does anyone on here have any experience with the LX3 vs. the 5?

I'm still sat on the fence but with two multi-pitching holiday this year I think I'm going to have to make a decision sooner rather than later.
