I was just yapping for no other reason but to express my inability to understand WTF Nikon is thinking about... Though a 550D would have been a possibility for me if a)it wasn't for the white canon lenses and b)i didn't have any Nikon glass already...
Originally posted by aliquis Latest rumor is one FX and one DX body coming soon, I think I read during the summer. Nikonrumors speculate it's D700 replacement and D90 because they are the oldest. Imho that sound weird because the D300 and D90 had the same sensors didn't they? Don't D300s use the same to? If they upgrade the D90 and put in the rumored 39 point AF or whatever it was won't that put it pretty close to the D300s and rather tempting for some? Would seem smarter to upgrade D300s first so it matched up against the 7D or outperformed it and then release a stripped down version later as the D90 imho.
D300s is actually due for an upgrade as well, but not as much as the D90... and so is the D700... 5D competitor when 5DII is due for a facelift.... good morning Nikon... That said, a D90's replacement with a little more MP, better video and faster AF would be really tempting... really... though, rumors are, it will come just as castrated as it's little D40-D5000 brothers... with no internal AF motor....

Actually video is just as important as stills for me... One of the reasons i'm ruling out the D90... it uses a much more destructive codec in comparison to the D300s... otherwise i would've gotten on a long time ago....
Originally posted by tokyoso should be just around the corner. nikons hold their resale up very well tho.
Only the high-end models... I still remember selling a D200 for 800$ 2 years ago... people are still paying 650-750$ for them... ????!!! have no idea why... D90-s on the other hand were dropping a lot lately... I've seen them going for as low as 500$US lately with low millage...
