The Next Nikon DSLR- 20 day countdown!

the camera has been leak-announced at Nikon's malaysia site. Details to follow, i'm preparing to post it in the news section.

Gist of it is the D80 is a 10MP camera slotting in below the D200 and above the D70s, offering compatible accessories (IR remote, wired remote) with the D70S (and for the IR, d50 and d70), same batteries as the D200 (EN-EL3E), a vertical grip option (MB-D80), 2.5" 230,000 pixel LCD, in camera retouching features, easy to use controls, a two-group commander function for the popup flash, 11-area AF system, 3fps continuous shooting, and a lightweight body.

Just today, I stumbled on the [I]Let's Go Digital[I] website, and I saw a bunch of D-200 "kits"--each with a lens of some sort and different prices. If you could get a D-200 (WITH warranty) and, say, an 18-50mm lens...for just shy of $1,200.00, would that sway you forever from a D-70???

I wouldn't trust that kind of price. Too good to be true means just that.

i stayed up to look at the specs. I was not too impressed with the specs.
Does nikon have a full sensor? I don't really know since i'm a canon shotter.

I'm pretty sure nobody has a full sensor, last time I checked they were very expensive.

Kodak has made two Full Frame Nikon cameras (14mp) but Nikon has chosen instead to go for the 1.5x sensor and lenses optimized for it. They have stated on several occasions they are developing FF or near-FF, but will not commit to releasing it unless it meets their exacting requirements.

Besides why would it matter...Nikon wouldn't debut it on the sub-$1000 consumer model.

I personally found myself pretty pleased with the specs, considering the price point.

:D YEAH.... I'm counting the days...I pre-ordered one.
