http://www.dpreview.com/news/0708/07082313nikond300.asp http://www.dpreview.com/news/0708/07082312nikond3.asp I am SO getting a D300 or D200 (if prices drop for the D200, plus it's weather sealed).
very impressive specs. i waited a whole day to read the announcement yesterday. D300 will be too little of an upgrade for me. the D3 is nice but too expensive. i am still going to sell my D200 and all my Nikkors. i am addicted to the fast AF of the Canon primes and Nikon has no equivalent to them.
actually, i cannot afford L primes. and the L primes are actually slower AF than the non-L ones. i use mainly the 50/1.4 and 85/1.8 for badminton. they are really fast focusing. perfect for badminton.
Yeah, L primes are overpriced, but there's probably a 70-200L 2.8 IS calling your name in the future. Anyway, Nikon D3 test shots here: http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/content_page.asp?cid=7-8743-9108 ISO6400 looks great: http://ftp.robgalbraith.com/public_files/Dave_Black_Basketball_ISO6400.jpg http://ftp.robgalbraith.com/public_files/Dave_Black_Ice_Hockey_ISO6400.jpg As does 3200: http://www.robgalbraith.com/public_files/Corrado_Baseball_Bats_ISO3200.jpg
