Gah! A Nikon Post!
Yes, it matters what they're up to. I only post Nikon stuff close to an announcement.
October 14/15, 2009
Nikon will be announcing the successor to the highly successful D3 this week. I've received some CR3 info as has Nikon Rumors who has received a lot more :)
The D3s Specs (NR)
- Better ISO-performance (ISO 200-12800 probably)
- New 1.2 crop mode
- Bigger buffer
- Motion-Jpeg 720p (no 1080p!)
- Improved AF-ON button
- Improved multi-dial
- No 14 fps, I repeat no 14 fps
The CR3 Specs I received (NR has all the juice):
- Nikon D3s
- Oct 14/15th
- 12 mp
- ISO 102,400
At the moment no new lenses will be launched with the D3s according to Nikon Rumors.
Nikon is really upping the spec game if these rumors are true (outside of the 1080p omission).

har har to all the people freaking out about 14 FPS on the nikon …
does it pain you when nikon doesn’t beat Canon and you have one less thing to whine about?
if your gear is all high end gear then you should be able to resell it alright. if you have any spare cash you could even start investing in a nikon system while maintaining your canon gear.
how much is it for a D3, (maybe a D700 for backup too), four good lenses, and a good set of SB900s? can’t cost any more than it costs to get through a year of college. and if you’re a pro who’s serious about making the switch, I don’t think it’s an unreasonable amount to leverage.
there’s still plenty of guys out there shooting Canon to spectacular results. why is it they’re getting along with their gear while you aren’t with yours? that being said, if you’re serious about the switch, just do it. it’s not as painful as you’d think.
david pr: I don’t think a cryptographer could decipher what you’re trying to say here. it looks like an altavista translation circa 1998
1 Digic processor is crap enough…why triple the crapness?
