I guess we'll have to wait longer before we see proper samples, won't we?

As everyone knows it will be a full frame , but what I didnt understand is the possibility to shoot also in 5/4 , (automatic resising ?) They present both cameras as a professional cameras, aslo D300. The D3 has a very usefull AF function that follows a pre determinated color (as rose for exemple if a runner wears a rose short) a lot of options via the Card slots : -possibility to shoot on 1 card the jpegs and on the other the raws at the same time. -other one : if 1 card is full, it continues to record the following sequence on the other card . -can copy via D3 the photos from 1 card to the other card. (or stick) - 40% more battery. - can control 5 D3 cameras via a computer at the same time D300 : the same in small size : - 51 AF points - same color system - same AF options - Iso from 200-to- 3200 + 2 boost stops up to 12'ooo asa. - rapidity of commands is imporved on the back buttons. - 8 frames / second (12 bits mode only I think) - improved tropiclisation ps : I really think D300 will be my first Dslr camera , but can anyone tell me if , for the fun, my old 1.4 50mm (no automatic at all) will fit on it ? I also wait for image samples. So first they speak about the D3.

D300 : the same in small size :

- 51 AF points
- same color system
- same AF options
- Iso from 200-to- 3200 + 2 boost stops up to 12′ooo asa.
- rapidity of commands is imporved on the back buttons.
- 8 frames / second (12 bits mode only I think)
- improved tropiclisation

ps : I really think D300 will be my first Dslr camera , but can anyone tell me if , for the fun, my old 1.4 50mm (no automatic at all) will fit on it ?

The video introduces a new italian weekly video magazine, Video 7, founded by Edo Prando and Marina Macrì, two photographers and important italian journalists in photographic magazines. September 20th is the date of the first issue, nothing more. For this introductory issue "number zero", they had an interview with Stefano Barbero, manager of NPS (Nikon Professional Service) Italia. Barbero introduces the D3 and D300, the "two babies" as he likes to call them. He mentions their main features, as we all know, adding a couple more infos: - D3 40% higher battery life compared to the D2Xs, despite the same battery. - WT4 WiFi transmitter capable to connect up to 5 cameras (D3 or D300) to a computer, so that it's possible to remotely monitor the work from 5 cameras simultaneously. Prando (the interviewer) did say at the end of the interview that he was going to bring home the cameras to get some images, but it was only a joke... That's all, sadly :) Sorry, but there’s no mention of sample images or ability for journalists to get their hands on the D3/D300 by the end of September…
