Nikon announces the D3100
-
Barely a year after the D3000 was released, they have now released its successor - the D3100. It's the first Nikon DSLR with 1080 HD video capturing capabilities. http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Product/Digital-SLR/25472/D3100.html[^] Other highlights : 14.2 Megapixel cmos sensor 11-point AF system ISO now goes up to 3200 (rated) and 12800 (unrated) I don't think I am interested though. I am awaiting the D90-successor or maybe even the D300s successor. But anyone planning to buy a D5000 now, don't! The D3100 is supposedly at a lower bracket but is actually a way better camera.

You can't do this to us, Nish. I feel like it was only yesterday I bought by my D200. There's no way my wife is letting me get one of these... edit: my not by

Anyone want to buy a Canon 450? Love photography; just can't be asked to lug an SLR around any more: if we go away it's the laptop, the camera, all the accessories and wires and so on and so forth. Now it decorates a shelf. Shame.

Well my timing sucked even more than yours. I bought the D40x and 4 weeks later the D60 was announced which dropped 40x prices by 200 bucks. I bought the D80 an year or so later a month and half before Nikon announced the D90. So this time I will wait for a new model to come out before I waste** money on it ** Smitha's word for me spending money on Nikon equipment.

You've got some nerve mentioning your Canon camera on a Nikon thread! :mad:

I knew it! (I have an iPhone - hangs head in shame). :) To be serious I doubt that I'll get another iPhone when the contract expires. It's a very nice phone but I'm not sure it lives up to all the fuss and furore.

My ATT contract ended in July so I can theoretically get a new phone, but like you I don't want another iPhone. Maybe a Droid or a Windows 7 phone.

It's not that we are here in full strength; we just don't like to see the Nikon guys wasting their money.

That's a great zoom lens. It and the 24-70 f/2.8L get a lot of use on my camera.

I did the same as well. I bought the D300 only to find out a month later, here's the D300s (with video). :( I wish they'd let you know when good stuff was coming out before they announce it. ;-)

They keep it secret to delay the inevitable price drop on the soon-to-be obsolete model.

Yeah, that's why we're Nikon guys.

That looks like a cheap piece of junk; but I suppose cannon users wouldn't know any better. Nikon fanbois have stuff like this to slobber over: http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-200-500mm-Ultra-Telephoto-Nikon-Cameras/dp/B0013DAPNU/ref=cm_lmf_tit_16[^]

I've been a lover of Nikon all my proffesional life. And frankly, I also snubbed my nose at Canon. (Notice the passed tense) Recently my sister purchased a Cannon PowerShot and I have to tell you that I was blown away! One advantage it has is the reduction of motion blur. I did some research and found that it got an average rating: "9 out of 10" on all the camera sites. What am I doing on here talking about cameras when I've got work to do? Sure I'm my own boss but I could still fire myself like Ennis Ray Lynch is about to do. (Ask him for yourself)
Be nice to your kids. They'll choose your nursing home.

My Articles Developer's Best FriendYeah, Canon does make better digital cameras than Nikon (non-SLR). I have myself owned a Canon PowerShot A70 several years back. I have also gifted later models to my sister, sister-in-law, parents etc.
