The official pre-announcement:

http://nikonimaging.com/global/index.htm

It has a 10.2mp sensor, I guess it is the D70 successor.

Very interesting!
Is it full frame?

This is interesting Juza. With all the talk and speculation about Canon's new body Nikon is first to announce a date and some teaser specs! It is interesting to watch the marketing competition.

Salvo, unless Nikon dramaticly switches gears, they are committed to the 1.5 sensor. :wavey:

Very interesting!
Is it a 4x5?
:wink:

I hope it will bring the price of the D200 down.

This is exciting!!! I don't even shoot Nikon and I'm very excited. I can't wait for the details. :smile: :jump:

Hi Salvo,
it uses the same 10.2mp sensor of the Sony Alpha 1, that is APS-C.

I suspect this will be the upgrade to the D70s, probably D80?

Because they call it a D-SLR it most certainly isn't an all-in-one like the 8800. Nikon has really been churning out d-SLRs in the past few years.

love it! should be interesting... i am just now starting to think about an upgrade from the D70s, and obviously was looking at the D200... depending on the full specs of this new one, i may be able to save some $$ and get that better glass i've been looking for!!! yipee :toast:

The D70/D70s came out with the same sensor as the D100. I can imagine a D80 with the same sensor as the D200, but missing some of the advanced features and without a vertical grip.

This reminds me of the salesperson at the Jeep dealership telling me about the Wrangler's great "In-line V-6 engine" :smile:

(ok, I guess you need to know something about cars to get it)

[quote]Lol Or the friend who wanted to show us her new "Jeep" (a Chevy Trailblazer)[quote]

Given that "Jeep" is just a pronunciation of the original military designation of "GP" for General Purpose Vehicle, the Chevy is a SUV that could just as easily be labeled a GP. Your friend seems to have mastered the military acronyms. Can she also swear like a trooper?
