Nikon D3 due soon?

Sunday, February 25th, 2007

Now that Canon has announced they’re new flagship sports/pj camera should we expect to see something from Nikon? If you look at their current replacement cycle I think something is due.

There were a lot of rumors of a new D3H a year ago, but nothing new has come up in the past few months. I think Nikon is on the right track with their high speed crop idea, I honestly thought Canon would be going the same route with a new full frame sensor. They’d really have a winner if they could do a 16 megapixel D3 with a 10 megapixel crop mode. Their production costs would certainly be down and they could compete against Canon’s 1D/1Ds with a single model.
