Dun believe everything from websites, most of these people are petty reviewers and rumour mongers.

i thought they were goign for D60
now D40
rumours rumours

What are they going to do? Report that D40 is 'lower end' than D50 but 2.5" screen You see-lah, later sure got pricing also come out

if this news/rumour is real, i find it dissapointing... sigh
a D40, 6MP, can't use other lenses except AF-S only.
supposedly 599 EURO.

anyway, no news about the D60 huh? it's supposed to be announced either this week or next week.

I actually came across this or D60, can't remember which while I was searching for my dslr. The design wasn't what I was looking for.
Too few buttons for me to press on the body.
I like to press buttons.

I doubt something like that will sell for 599 euro. That would be retarded.

This is supposed to be the model to bridge the gap between prosumer and DLSR, 599 Euro is abit too much i'll say. They've already took away the top LCD display, AF motor and recycled the D50/70 viewfinder (and possibly sensor from D50). Surely it could be cheaper.

Lets see what will happen in a few weeks time.. perhaps it's an indication of abundance of AF-S lenses coming soon? 50mm f/1.4 AF-S anyone?

woahoo
production stop for the AF 50mm f/1.8 , f/1.4

Huaaaaaaa ... your info lagi terror!

Try the D2Xs and above, like aeroplane cockpit


You know what I will call that model ? Garbage
At that kinda design, noobs dun get to learn crap about photography, only lousy ergonomics and inconvenience. They might as well take it up and chuck it aside for an upgrade months later!

Yeah.. garbage to us who are already on top of the food chain, but what about auntie/uncle/grand ma/grand dad who can't be bothered with learning but want good quality pics? IMHO they are just targeting at a different consumer group.. a body and the two basic kit lense (18-55, 50-200) and maybe an external flash is all they ever need.

the ultimate money making machine - prosumer cameras with interchangable lenses and accessories.

Those group won't even be BOTHERED with a huge chunky body that might break their old necks carrying that thing up the Great Wall of China or down Shanghai streets am I right?

Some one told me that they can't even match the white dot to the red dot when they wanna change lenses, gosh you wanna convince them just by merely telling them that the quality of DSLRs are much better than compacts? I rather sell them a 10MP compact digicam thank you very much

I think that model suites students better, you know, the "Which SLR is better? Which brand is better? I got a budget of so-and-so Ringgit but I am doing so-and-so course majoring in Photography bla bla bla" group

go over the photomalaysia.com
the rumoured date is out.

I am waiting for D3, D300 @ 2007... D90 maybe 2008...
Wakakaka...
But din heard about D60 yet...

Take another look. What huge chunky body? Besides, it looks like a fine camera for those who want decent quality and will every only own the kit lens and maybe a cheap tele (of which there are many ppl). 6mp is definitely far more than required.

an external flash unit will add considerable weight to the camera and built in flash isn't exactly perfect.

not like too many people in this product's target group would actually care (abt the built in flash that is).
