Nikon Announces D300 & D3 (FulFrame) + Lenses


Recommended Posts

51 point AF!?!? :o

D300 seems to be the better body compared to the D40 but it's also $500 more.

But still..

922k pixel LCD. 6fp/8fps (battery/ac) buffer, 14 bit, 100% frame coverage!

Sad it's not a full frame like the D3 (though that's $5000 compared to the $2500 5D).

Competition is good though! :)

it seems like it nikon doesn't make camers w/ ISOs lower than 200? Correct me if i'm wrong.

HDMI output!? That's crazy.

So are all of nikon's new cameras having the AF motors put in the lens, so that the old lenses won't AF? Or was that just the D40/80?

no, even the 80 can drive lenses without motors. It is just the D40 that can't.

eh, I'm only 5th on the D300 waiting list on my fav store ;)

And I'm happy that the D300 isnt full frame! FF's are way too tricky and cost you more since you have to change your lens. Plus, having the 1.5 factor is nice with tele lens :)

whoo /me sits and waits

D3;

'ISO 25600' expandable... !

11FPS

3" liveview screen

51 AF points... someone went crazy in the Nikon design shed.

I'm a 'canon man', and even i want one!

.

Nikon definitely have the upper hand at the moment.

Man I love the d300! I really really want to see what 256000 ISO looks like.

Just like we all pooed in our pants when we heard about the 10fps 1dmk3, I think I will wait until people have them in their hands before I make real judgements. I hope it doesn't have something like an AF issue.

The D300 won't have ISO 256,000. Only the D3 will have it.

D200 goes down to 100 Iso....200 is more than fine tho, and its very smooth....so there you have it..I'm ****ed cuz i just got my d200 about 3 months ago....I would get the d3 for my model shooting, but I dont need all the features it has...will definately go for the d300 tho.

256k ISO? X-ray vision? o_O Does it emit radiation?

it's 25.6K iso...get it right...and do you know how much f'in noise thats gonna introduce? you're shots are gonna look like you took a picture in a radiation chamber.. better bust out neat image to clean that shot up

    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
