QUOTE(ac98 @ Nov 6 2006, 02:54 PM) 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? 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. |

QUOTE(gold3knight @ Nov 6 2006, 11:43 PM) 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).This post has been edited by BurgaFlippinMan: Nov 7 2006, 12:13 AM |

QUOTE(Maniac @ Nov 7 2006, 12:38 PM) my humble opinion is, D40 is very nice placed currently. 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?- 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 |

QUOTE(wkcheang @ Nov 7 2006, 02:29 PM) Does this mean that Nikon will be releasing updated AF-S versions of their prime lenses? all those new lenses just because a new cheapo body doesnt have an AF motor?AF-S 20 24 28 35 50 60 85 135 180 plz  QUOTE(avantgardeo @ Nov 7 2006, 03:54 PM) 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... Big deal, we've had S1, S2, S3 Coolpixes and Fuji DSLRs...there is also the Canon 5D and the Minolta 5D... |
