Rumour? Nikon D5... just being released?
I was at Adorama yesterday, and overheard a conversation that Nikon released the new Nikon D5 (based on the F5) just a few days ago. Didn't hear the specifics, but the guy was raving about it. 12MP, something something sensor, yada yada viewer and LCD and MSRP at $3,300. I am getting sorta excited...  I looked at Nikon USA's site at News, but nothing. Guess it'll be under the Christmass trees this year. Anybody has more info? Udo Sep 01 05 08:15 am Link Must have been 5D, the new Canon, not a Nikon. Sorry. Sep 01 05 08:19 am Link I hope not. It's bad enough that there's a Konica Minolta 5D and a Canon 5D; we don't need a Nikon D5 to confuse things. Maybe TSR could make a d5, too (sorry I'm not a current nerd). Sep 01 05 08:22 am Link im waiting for a d200 - lol Sep 01 05 08:24 am Link Udo R Photography wrote: I know about the D50 (Digital) and the F6 (the next generation F5 - Film), but haven't heard of the D5. I read a review on the F6 and they were raving about it. I also just received an email from Nikon about the D50 but haven't looked into it...

The only rumor I've heard is about the D2Xs. Aparently a little faster fps and wider view. Oh yea and one more way Nikon can squeeze a few more bucks from you.

Nikon has been good... shot many years with my N90s (bought used, never a problem), still have it as my backup in my bag... and shooting with the D70.

Sep 01 05 08:43 am Link C R Photography wrote: Yeah, the Mark II was tempting... but then... to replace the whole system... would put me into the hole for the money for the body AND another 6 or 7 Grand for the accessories and lense system, or more actually.

Although word on the streets is that the D200 will be 12MP as well. Sep 01 05 10:02 am Link XtremeArtists wrote: You mean it's not to pound sense into the senseless?

Sep 01 05 10:10 am Link yea sounds a lil flipped up but why would nikon want to put out another 12mp when they just put out the d2x but i guess they cant let the prosumer out resolution the prograde camera cand to cd canon isnt really killing in the digital slr market if you look purely at sharpness directly from the camera with similar priced lenses the nikon is still ahead Sep 01 05 10:10 am Link chris paul wrote: How about if you look at sales? Sep 01 05 10:14 am Link sales are nothing i used to sell cameras and i sold way more canons because i got a way bigger bonus lol but look at profit nikon isn't hurting but im not knocking canon i like the bolder color and im probably going to get a 20d for event photography because it muders all the nikons in low light but in well lit conditions ill stick with nikon because i dont want to spend all my money on L lenses Sep 01 05 10:53 am Link Udo R Photography wrote: You're such a tease!!

Sep 01 05 02:33 pm Link Yep it's the Canon- nikon is dragging it's ass as usual. Switch! I did, and I'm not looking back. Sep 01 05 04:24 pm Link So does anyone want to bet who on MM will have the first one? Paul Sep 01 05 04:42 pm Link Udo R Photography wrote: The only thing I've heard is that the "D200" is supposed to be out some time after the first of the year. Supposedly, 8MP, 8FPS, fancy metering and autofocus. Sorry, I won't bite. My D100 is on its last legs. I'm going back to my 22MP F3. Sep 01 05 05:58 pm Link There is some talk about a D5 on DPreview. Sep 01 05 06:07 pm Link oooppps...they were talking about konica minolta 5D, comparing it to the D200 Sep 01 05 06:08 pm Link 12MP, full frame sensor, big LCD, $3300. Has to be the EOS 5D. Out in October I heard. Sep 03 05 08:50 pm Link Just broke into digital with my Canon 20D after shooting Nikons for 25 years. I hope nobody comes out with anything till I learn how to make this damn thing work. Sep 03 05 10:33 pm Link markcomp wrote: I have a 20D - if you're having some trouble with it, maybe I can help. Sep 04 05 10:13 am Link Sure hope the rumor's cross-wired and turns out a Canon. I just got the D2x, which make a great case for grabbing two rolls of film and going out with an FM3a.  Sep 04 05 02:28 pm Link commart wrote: I know a guy who also just got a D2X. Those are some sweet files. Have fun with that thing. Sep 04 05 02:30 pm Link Yeah, I he had to be refering to the Canon 5D. Sounds like a great camera. My apprentice is going to get one as soon as possible to replace his XT that had a tragic death. I personally shoot Nikon(D70) so I'm waiting on the D200 before I get all excited. But my lil padwan shoots Canon and is weighing this vs the 20D. See, Nikon and Canon users CAN Co-exist!

He was having trouble with the SB28 flashes under some circumstances when shooting weddings. Sep 04 05 06:48 pm Link Just a note on the D2x. --I wanted to get the res up for stock, RAW--->TIFF, to meet the standards of a third-party retailer, so you do what you got to do if and when you can. I could this quarter, along with making some other improvements, and did. --Surprises: unlike the D70 (have that too), this one works with some non-cpu lenses (in manual mode) as well as SB's 28 and 24 (less whizbang, but TTL's okay -- or so says the manual). I got into Nikon as the transition from growing up Minolta SRT (and backpacking in the dead of winter) and am on my third and final FM-class Nikon, which features aperture-priority shooting as well as a "trust me" sort of TTL (there's no reporting interface to the photographer, but it works with a little prep).
