Digital BW, The Print

Paul,
I for one, am in no hurry for Nikon to bring on a full frame chip.I 
purchased a D2x a few weeks ago, after having a D100 for the past few 
years and I can only describe the camera as sensational. I have loved 
the extra focal length and the 12-24 WA is a fantastic lens.
I sure can sympathise if extra focal dosn't fit your kit, but life is 
about change, which is unfortunate for some of us at times.
Will be interesting to see what the new Canon specs. are, as Nikon blew 
them away with the D2x.
regards,
Peter.

More importantly for those of you who drool over press releases, it will
cause Nikon to hurry up with their full frame chip . . . maybe (they are
still at a price point considerably higher than Canon), and it will be
interesting to see if Minolta, Pentax etc rush forth in a foolhardy manner.
Canon still has to address their 1/4 success rate with their chip . . . if
there is a mad rush for this camera there might well be long delays . . .
that NEVER makes for a happy customer.

It makes me think of the viruses  . . . oops, excuse me, the "improved" OSs
we have had from Apple and MS over the recent years . . . put on the market
just to be ahead of the other guy, even though the product was barely ready.

When ALL the cameras available are full frame that will be a step forward. I
for one (along with a few thousand others) don't appreciate my
multi-thousand dollar wide optics like a 14 f2.8 suddenly become a
grotesquely overweight 21 f2.8 . . . that is not progress . . . it is BS.

I'm just waiting for Nikon to lower the price of the D2x now that the 
Canon came in near $3500. That's $1500 less than the D2x.

C'mon Nikon! Lower that price!

It might come down, a bit. But only after Nikon's next announcement. The 
D2x is significantly more camera than the 5d on every front except 
sensor size and resolution.
