Nikon's had to play around with their entry-level numbering system because they were running out of numbers...

After all, it's not like there's an infinite quantity of numbers out there.

True, but when your entry-level grade numbering system goes D40, D50, D60, D70, D80, D90, and your prosumer grade system goes D100, D200, D300, etc, something has to give.

So they went to Dxxxx for the entry-level grade.

They will shortly run out of Dxxx for the prosumer lineup, and it's anyone's guess where they go from there since Dxxxx is already in use. D10000, D710, D810?

For speedlights they went SB-900, SB-910.

They could always start using 'Mark II, Mark III'....

LOL. I was like in third grade. I probably don't remember because I thought this guy looked cool:



though I do like the tag line. How very fauxtographic.

The funny thing is that Aggasi's image, at the time, was a complete fake. His hair was a wig, he had all sorts of drug and other problems.

I refuse to shoot anything with the word "rebel" stamped on it. I'm just not into hoedowns, drunken bass fishing and monster truck rallies.
