Nikon D600

[well_dunno]

Hello all,

It looks like Canon is not the only one planning an entry level FF camera:

Cheers!

Sounds good to me. I love competition

I'm curious, maybe I missed it, but where is the link to a rumor for a Canon low cost FF body.

Nikon's pushing hard.  Gotta love competition!  Now if they could only deliver their products   I look around quite a bit on NR and there are quite a few people upset about not receiving d800s yet.

It wouldn't surprise me at all. There have been lots of rumors here about the same thing for a long time. I would think it'd be in Canon's best interest to strike first and make it good. They certainly created room for one by moving the 5D up to $3500.

We're still waiting on the 1Dx to ship, period.

Just like many are upset about still not receiving their 1DX which has been on preorder since since fall 2011?    Latest info says that it has been pushed back (again) to june. Perhaps even longer.

By the way, I think the only reason to why there are so many 5D3's in stock is because most 5D2 owners has decided to keep their camera.

I am seeing a huge opportunity for Nikon's entry FF.

They could make their D600 with the same specs as the 5D3. It would steal minimal sales from the D800, but a whole lot of sales from Canon.

I don't know if there were any rumours, but certainly people here were calling for a nice cheap entry-level FF (and at the time I jokingly said "crappy AF, low fps, rip out features like in-built flash to make it cheaper, and you've got a 5Dmk2".
Seems I was right when Canon announced the 5D3 and said that the 5D2 would drop in price to be their "entry level" dslr (that's still 2nd-most expensive currently-available camera they make).

Nikon can't just do that to their D700, too much of a gap from 12-36MP, but more importantly they can't sell it in Japan for whatever battery-related reason. I don't see why they can't just redesign the D700 with a new battery and call it the D701 or whatever, I haven't read that link so maybe that's what they're doing (or are they going to bollocks the features to worse than D700 standard?)

In stock? Where? My order with B&H is back-ordered, and they are still trying to fill orders from March from what I hear...

I am also waiting for my 2nd 5D3 to arrive...

While I'm waiting for the D800 to arrive from somebody, I did get the Canon 5d3 from Adorama fairly quickly (less than a month). Perhaps being overpriced has some advantage.  Now if they could just figure out how to get the vertical grip delivered (I hear this Month?).

Actually the only reason I bought the 5D3 was that I was really waiting for what I call the 2DX.  A full frame camera with 44 mpx, 2 digilogic 6 processors, USB 3, uncompressed HDMI out for digital recorders and field monitors, 1D style with the vertical grip built-in for around $4,500 (maybe $5,000).  I think 6 fps is sufficient and of course the 1dX autofocus that the 5d3 already has.

I guess they could call it the 4DX.  I at first thought it would be called the 3DX but then I realized that calling anything as the 3D anything might be misleading....  Unless they actually build a .....

Third most expensive

- 1D4
- 5DIII
- 5DII

Just a minor point

Canon can't ship all 5D3s to B&H.

Maybe you should try finding a store that has them rather than relying on B&H.
