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.

i've noticed that the pictures i take with my D90 are pretty much just as good as the pictures i took with my old N60. and my N80. and my D100.

Yeah, but the D90 will let you take some pics that may not have been possible with the older cameras. I am thinking of serious low light situations that require ISO 3200.

N60...It was my first SLR camera. I've still got it sitting right next to my D300. Granted, I don't think I'll ever take another picture on it, when compared to my D300.

The D400 is rumoured to come out later this year. It will certainly have better ISO capabilities and will also most likely have the 1080 video. Unless a D90 successor is released around the same time, I will certainly be considering that camera (will have some serious wife-convincing to do of course).

If I had the money and time, I'd be on the market for some camera supplies. As for now, its a hobby I pickup when I get inspired for some cool shot. In fact, if I wasn't a programmer, I would have loved to have taken up photography full time.

If I had the money I'd have a decent Nikon FX camera and all the pro-lenses. :sigh:

I don't know if I'd want that, but I'd love to do weekend photography (engagements, portraits, family group shots etc.)

Every time I get camera body envy I can usually satisfy the urge by buying a new lens. I have a killer fixed 50mm that takes amazing shots and has breathed new life into my D200. 24,000 photos in, though, and I'm starting to notice a lot more noise (especially in the gradients). On the plus side, when I finally do upgrade the body, I'll have one heckuva lens collection!

you used to be able to buy ISO 3200 film. oh sure, the grain looked like you were shooting through a sheet of sand-blasted glass. but it was fast!

Yeah, 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.

I've got an A570IS. Only complaints with it I have are the amount of shutter lag makes action shots an exercise in frustration; and that the 640x480 video is rather noisy. Neither of those problems have ever been serious enough to bring a better camera into the spend money part of my geeklust list though.

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[^]
