Hopes for the next generation DSLRs?

For me400/D710024MP DX sensor, would love some extra stops of noise performance, but seems unlikely.D4/D800 metering system, AF system (D7100 could have a lousier one) and processor (D7100 could have a lousier one).Pop up flash.100% viewfinder and preferably larger.But then, it doesn't seem likely that Nikon will produce a D700 replacement, seeing that D800 is so successful. Even if they produced a D700 replacement, I don't expect the sales to be as strong as you said. The noise performance isn't much better than D700, though the AF, metering and processor system is enough of an improvement.To me, D400 seems likely, but not a D710 or whatever it is. D4 is to compete with 1DX, D800 is to compete with 5D3, D400 is to compete with 7D(2), then what would D710 compete with?EDIT: IMO, it's either D400 with the 24MP sensor or D710 with the 16MP sensor that will be announced.

I was just reading canon rumors and it seems that a lot of the canon fans would like a higher mega pixel body, and according to rumors one is apparently in the works. There is a lot of talk of an entry level fx camera, if this is the case than Nikon would certainly have one in the works as well. Again i see where you are coming from and i also don't have much faith that Nikon would have a more affordable fx camera, just hoping that they do.

I believe that both Canon and Nikon already have prototypes of an entry level FX camera, it just depends if they want to announce it or not.

I hope that they will also be able to shoot 35mm Provia,Velvia,FP4,HP5 and 120 film

Its a great time to be a consumer

Only if you have to have the latest gear that will not make any difference to your photography

Or enjoy gear becoming less and less expensive with more functionality, such as the case with the new pocketwizard III's =)

I certantly hope there won't be a entry level FF body anytime soon but I think it might change this year. I bet the reason Canon changed the price on 5D3 is to fit another camera in it's place. What will it be? 7DII FF camera with 8 fps? Nobody knows.

...and a pop up flash the fires shards of glass into the photographer's face when used in AUTO mode.

I LOLed :lmao:

I'm kind of with Thom Hogan in thinking that the D300s will be replaced by a low-cost full-frame camera, and not another crop-body. WHY? As he points out, the market for d-slr's is now almost ALL "upgraders", and not buyers who are new to the market category. Yet another crop-body will not be much of an upgrade to D300s or even D7000 shooters,or to Canon shooters anxious to join the company that's currently in the lead. Why upgrade when there is so,so little to be gained by buying a crop-body camera, when the simplest Full-Frame sensor easily betters the imaging performance of the D7000's sensor? The way I see it, the high-end enthusiast's camera from Nikon has been a fantastic camera--for decades, dating all the way back to the Nikkormat days. Moving the high-end enthusiast's camera to an affordable full-frame body makes a lot of sense, and the current sensor tech that Nikon has EASILY allows the user to have MULTIPLE capture sizes--all in the same camera!!!

Why make a $1799 high-end camera that is only DX, when it's just as easy to make it FX, with DX crop capability, as well as 5:4 and also 1.2x capability [multi-format]? Nikon has been doing that on the pro bodies going on five years now...and beginning with the D2x, they offered both APS-C and 2.0x crop capabilities, so eight years on that [dual-format] now...

I think they would clean up with a cheaper full frame option. No one else has one currently in a price point below 2k.

I think you might be on to their secret.

Nikon D700 replacement
SHOULD THERE BE ONE within a year...
D3s sensor
100% VF
Popup flash
D4 video functionality -CX crop
D800-like body
7-8FPS
D3s/D4 AF

SHOULD IT COME 16months+ in the future
Same treatment D700 got from D3, but from the D4 sensor.

If the D700 replacement comes out in either one of these configurations, it will easily be the greatest, and most highly demanded DSLR ever produced by any manufacturer. It will be on backorder for practically its entire lifecycle.

What do you expect, or what would you like to see?

Mark

:er: I doubt this much camera is going to be available at half the price of the D4.

They make an app for that. lol

Of course not. Why would you buy the higher end if you get all of the best components at a cheaper price. We can all wish though.

Ahh come one now. Dont say the gear has nothing to do with it. Good gear never hurt anyones photography.

Most don't know how to get the best out of the camera they have without buying the super dupa new version
