New Nikon cameras and lenses
 

Not to be outdone by Canon, some new Nikon cameras have been announced, you'd better have a big wallet though.
New D300 announced:

Presumably because the D200 isn't good enough! :rolleyes:

New D3 announced

Note in particular the ISO up to 25600! Stick a fast 50 on the front of that and throw away your flashgun.

Oh, and some lenses too:

Anyone fancy a sweepstake on the price of the AF-S 600 mm F4G ED VR lens then? I suppose I could do a poll for a bit of fun.

£4500 for the AF-S 600

It will be closer to £8,000!

Here's a link to the Nikon D300 brochure.

Excellent news on the big VR prime lenses... long overdue. Parity in this field is good news for the photographer, as they have genuine choice and one company can't rest on it's laurels.

The photo magazine testers are going to have a lot of fun - not only will they be able to test the new kit from both Nikon and Canon but they can then re-visit them all over again with a 'comparative' test to see which is really the best!

That's ten times the value of my car!!!!

You're not thinking of changing back again, are you, Andy ;)

£5999 for the AF-S 600 according to Warehouse Express. Now that's a lot of bucks.

The thing is, now Andy can change back again if he wants to. This is the best news for a long, long time.

Exactly...and the same goes for everyone else.
Never say never :)

cheers,
Andy

Excellent news...
it'll be the third lens choice after the 18-55 and 55-200 for every Nikon D40 owner! ...I've requested at least half a dozen be on available stock asap...lol :rolleyes:
