Hi All,

I have been following this threads on the Nikon D700. Looks like lots of guys are speculating but there has to be some truth in the rumours – especially when a company like Nikon does not have any low cost Full Frame DSLR to compete with their arch rival Canon 5D model. Lets keep our fingers crossed & pray that these rumours become reality. I am sure all of us want that to hapen. Isnt It?

Bye

i’ll believe it when i see it. supposedly the 5D II was rumored to be annouced in april and that has come and gone :(

would be sweet if this D700 was for reals though. If so, why the jump in naming convention from D300 to D700? doesn’t leave room for future products.

Hi. I had just bought my D300 from there, and when I saw this surprise I called them up to say I was disappointed as the sales person failed to mention the surprise to me; and I could of waited. They confirmed nothing is going to replace the D300. He confirmed a higher spec D3x and something below the D300. That is all the info I have.

@Matthew – Thanks for the comment.

I think that’s pretty spectacular info if it is accurate. However, I find it hard to swallow that Jacobs would confirm the specifics of the big “surprise.” I’m not saying that you didn’t get this info from someone at Jacobs, but perhaps a sales person is doing a bit of guessing or maybe someone let something big slip that they weren’t supposed to…?

Please follow up with any further details that you can provide. You certainly have our attention.

Just spoken to jacobs digital. The d3x is being released and a prosumer model below the d300. This is likely to be the d90.

What do you think about this?

I dont think any of the two big companies would wait with the anouncement of a new fullframe camera. The market is not saturated and the first one will get the bigger media and more sales.
