No idea where it's made. With high MP count, the D3x caters for a different market. My guess it that it will remain as the most expensive in Nikon's DSLR lineup. The D4 would replace the D3s as sports / journalist body.

Maybe but do you see a logic if they priced a 16MP D4 higher than a 24MP D3X?

Yes, highly unlikely. Single digit bodies will be replaced by single digit bodies. If D800 is a 36MP body (to replace D700), perhaps they will come out with D4x to replace D3x.

You sure 1DsMk III is more expensive than 1Dx?

I thought 1Dx estimated retail price is around RM 22k.

You though the 85mm f/1.4G would be cheaper than 85mm f/1.4D ? New things with new tech is always more expensive. The same would be expected witht he new 85mm f/1.8G.

Took out aperture ring but perhaps more glass elements go in.

Heavy or not, I still WANT that 200mm f/2.0.

Sorry. The words did not come out right the first time.

Are you sure that the 1DsMkIII is cheaper than the 1Dx?

If you sent to Nikon SC, you can probably get it repaired.

You want to become the Canon version of Simon Yam?

Yup... So it isn't suprising that an older camera is more expensive than a new one just like the D3X is more expensive than D4.

Still listed on website and you can still buy the 1DsMkIII.

Is his "preview" necessary since he claims he only got to hold the D4 for 30 minutes? More like self promo / plug. Wasted 30 minutes as all the information can be gotten already from other websites.

Cool. Even the soft toy's texture is smoothen.

Sensor size on PnS will always be smaller than sensor size on DSLR. Big sensor = shallow DoF. Therefore, it's very hard to mis-focus on a PnS. Almost everything is in focus. The large DoF on PnS is very ideal for macro and landscpae shooters.

The right way to do it is just to concentrate on the face. Not smoothen everything else.

Errr... Not every PnS has this AutoISO feature though.

Neat. Side question is how do we know that the video was made using a D4 and not a 5DMkII instead? Does a video have taggings like EXIF?

I also notice some underwater shots. They already have underwater casing for D4?

It's the other way around...

No idea why they need to introduce a new format card. Would have personally preferred if they stuck with 2x CF. 1x SD and 1x CF also not bad.

What about 29% less?

No filter on mine and but got it for RM 4750 I think.

125MB/s vs 100Mb/s is not something I would pay something more.

Sorry. The correct price should be RM 4980. A little more expensive but I'm happy with it.

If that's the case, the XQD's 125MB/s is moot.

Something that looks outdated does not mean not good. How much bulkier is the CF compared to the SD that makes people complain? If you're talking about 13.3" 1.4kg notebook with more firepower vs a 14" 2.5kg notebook, the lighter one with slightly less screen size is more desirable because of the weight difference. But what I generally hear is that SD cards are too fragile that it gets misplaced.

That's good price.

BaLanced if I'm not wrong.

Yup. Still have my SB-800. Perhaps I'll jump to SB-900 before they are gone.

Works the same for all Nikon speedlights. Switch to spot metering and it changes to TTL. I actually prefer TTL though. TTL-BL sometimes think it's smarter than the user and therefore you do not get a consistent result.

Depends on which metering you use... Matrix metering + TTL is unreliable. Matrix metering + TTL-BL is also unreliable.

Spot meter from the camera is reliable enough for me to have the flash in TTL mode. The flash output in TTL is a result of the spot metering and I find it reliable enough.

I have one sitting idle in very good condition and with box + lens bag. If the price is right, I might consider selling.

Not surprising. The harsh circular and busy bokeh on the top right gave it away actually.

Yes, it's sharp and usable and it does not come out all the time. You must avoid glaring backgrounds with the 50mm prime (any 50mm prime for that matter). It will turn out fine.

If RM were interchangeable with USD, lots of people would be rich !
