Not dobting you, but price would really be sub $3K?

Man oh man, that may put a spanner in my 1D Mk II aspirations.

[Michael]

impossible to sub 3k. that will kill off it's 40D

[victor]

40D is sub $2K There is still a $1K gap...Canon is hitting back at D300....I think 5DMII will hit back at D3!

[boredphuck]

if really sub 3k then nikon is as good as dead for the prosumer full frame.

[Dream Merchant]

Niokon has a prosumer FF? I thought the D3 was a pro cam?

[victor]

I think that is what Canon wants to acheive.  Nikon Canon

I'll be waiting with much interest for this cam. So much for my nong nong time dream of a 1D ser cam.

but they priced it below the 1Ds although its a pro series.

but they priced it below the 1Ds although its a pro series.

But D3 is above the 1DM3 which is a pro series...so D3 can do both DX and FX should be considered pro series. D3 is design to pull Pros from canon over to Nikon. Nikon is gaining market shares but is only from the D40 series level. For pro level...I think not much changes so far. Canon Pros are still sticking to Canon.

7D sub 3k?!!

[victor]

[Dream Merchant]

Could I check, what's the difference between a 5D Mk II and a 7D? Thanks.

Higher MP count and more expensive...BTW, the 7D have 15 focusing pts.
