You slowly wait lar ha ...

henry d70s also belum masak
mao play lain

my humble opinion is, D40 is very nice placed currently.

- why AF-S? Diam diam focus, faster than screw, got so many zoom lenses from cheap to pro. and since most people like to curi-snap, AF-S work like a wonder

- why 6Mp? a lot of consumer actually dont need more than 4mp, most of the time, they print 4R, and most of the time, the 6mp is too huge for the puny flash card they own

- 2.5" LCD? Consumer like mah, big big clear and sharp

- no-direct buttons? why bother these when u just wan great photo without hassle, AUTO work best for these people

- built in flash with ittl? ok, this pwned sipeh many flash system...

maybe i am fanboy hahaha

yea, and if they want a cheap tele, there is the 55-200 DX to go with it, or even the 70-300 AFS VR. this is really not much of an issue really, i mean, you dont see an F55 paired with a 70-200 VR everyday after all no?

I hardly see a F55 nowadays

Does this mean that Nikon will be releasing updated AF-S versions of their prime lenses?

AF-S 20 24 28 35 50 60 85 135 180 plz

... and Shinchan will be swapping them down like flies ...

85mm F/1.8 perhaps
but for that rather get a Sp90 f/2.8

D40? price?

D40? Well, if it's cheaper than the D50 then it would be of interest to me. And as for D60... Are Nikon really going to name it that way? I remember one of Canon's earliest DSLR models is the EOS D60 so who knows... with all those copyright infringement lawsuits...

D60 has been renamed to D40
if the rumour is true lol

all those new lenses just because a new cheapo body doesnt have an AF motor?

Big deal, we've had S1, S2, S3 Coolpixes and Fuji DSLRs...there is also the Canon 5D and the Minolta 5D...

If really Nikon calls it D60 and retails it BELOW RM2000 I wanna get one also
At least people ask me what camera I used I can still say "D60" without them know I am using Nikon or Canon

(Nikon as a 2nd camera to a main Canon ... tsk tsk tsk tsk ... )

u got poison too deep liao....and also pocket very deep

Nikon will be INSANE before they sell any new DSLR for RM2000+ street price!! Even the Canon 300D can only be purchased below RM2000 used!

Nikon is aiming to cripple Canon 2nd hand market

let's just hold the "dream" that it's gonna be less that 2k. I'd get one too

It might be priced below 2k, honestly speaking, Nikon still does not have a HSM 50mm f1.8 yet ryte?
The D50 is still a steal at the current retail price despite being quite outdated now.
Its a good camera that is aimed at beginners but the non-compatiblity with older lenses are worth the concern.

they dun mind selling the body cheap
they want to earn through the lens ;p
