Well, the 2014 rumor mill has heated up...

What do you think of a D5? D400s or sx :-)

The D3 was launched in Dec 2007. It was updated two years later in Oct 2009. Then replaced with the D4 in Jan 2012.

Based on this eventline it would not surprise me to see an updated D4 sometime ....now.

But ...doesn't time fly? I had hardly got use to my D3 being a grandfather...now it will be a great grandfather...and still at the spritely age of c.50,000 exposures.

But, there is life in the old dog yet!

D5 not really interested.
D400 somewhat interested or interested.

I expect that the D400 will have very high take up so it will interest Nikon more as their last years financial reports were not very good.

I think that if there is a new professional DSLR at the high end then it will be a D4X rather than a D5 but I may be wrong.

I agree...D4x or D5 not interesting at all...if I need a tank, I pull out the D3, if I need hi res, the D800

D400...very interested (I still use the D300 a LOT)

...but I must admit I use the Fuji's even more...

On the basis that I have a history of making definitive statements that never come to fruition.....

There will not be a D400 this year!!!

The DX00 series are very popular, The D100 was a bit basic, but it was a competent camera in it's day. The D200 which I use as my prime camera is very good. The D300 and D300s are said to be an improvement although I am unconvinced that it was such an improvement. To me it wasn't worth trading my D200's in and shelling out for new bodies given I am more than happy with the results from the D200's.

The D400 is billed to be a significant improvement in line with and possibly exceeding the quality of the rest of the range, build quality and features, a sort of scaled down D4 without the D4 price tag. I don't believe the D300 was anything like a scaled down D3, it was just a slight upgrade of the D200, which in my opinion is why there is room for such a significant upgrade.

All that said, IF I were to get another camera body it would be FX. I have always regarded the DX sensor as a temporary expedient while Nikon discovered how to make a proper sensor (FX).

I see a D3 in my bag one day, perhaps wishful thinking but I am having lunch today with my buddy who supplies most of my gear nowadays and he tells me he has a 'rough' D3 in at the moment, so I may have a play... (Rough to him means it has a scratch on the bottom and the corners are rubbed.) I could live with a scratch on the bottom and rubbed corners for the quality of images from the D3!

:thumbsup:
