zomg, full frame nikon d700?
June 18, 2008
Word on the street is that there is a new Nikon ready to hit the streets.
The rumor mill has been pumping out whispers of a mid-range full frame DSLR to rival the more affordable Canon 5D (the 5D runs at around 2200 CAD vs. Nikon’s D3 at 5000+ CAD). Here’s hoping. (=
More on that rumored mid-range full-frame DSLR from Nikon, and this looks a lot realer, with some decently convincing promo materials for the D700. Specs include a full-frame 12.1MP CMOS sensor (same as the D3’s), and a 51-point AF system, also the same as the D3. ISO range is 200-6400, or 100-25600 extended. So, uh, what differentiates it from the D3 other than the apparently small body and hopefully smaller price? Beats us for now, but we’re hyped

50mm 1:1.8; new toy?
March 5, 2008
Well. I put in a bid for a Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8. Yeah, it’s not 1.4, but the 1.4 is currently out of my budget right now. What’s on the wishlist though the 17-55mm 1:2.8, but that one’s definitely out of the question (>1000 CAD is too much for no income) just yet.
Also on the wishlist, Nikon D300. *drool*
We’ll see how the bid goes and I will definitely post pictures when it’s ready to go.
Hoo boy, I’m excited.
eee goes 9″

The computer was being shown in both Linux and Windows XP versions, so it looks like you’ll be able to have your choice of OS when the 9-incher is released later this year.

This is on my wishlist, sans XP of course.
