What's significant about this? HD Movie recording with a large APS-C sensor and SLR lens. Excellent noise performance and image quality. :| There is a caveat though that it's limited to 5 minutes per capture and MF only--not worried about MF part, but I do wish it went more than 5 minutes. (probably to save the sensor from heating up)

To be honest I was expecting a bigger ISO range, 6400 is in even some of their compact cameras ( Yes i know this is not fair comparison), I dunno After the last 3 behemoths D3 D700 and D300... Oh well, We'll have to see how it performs for the price point it's in against other CMOS sensors! hopefully reviews come up quickly!

Aside from the video recording, which is absolutely awesome if you use it with some high end, light sensitive lenses like 50mm f1.4 or 70-200mm f2.8, I still would rather cash out for the D700 just for the sake of FX sensor.

Other than that I'm quite happy with my D80 for now.

The D90 can't have better features than the D300!

Anyway, I just preordered off of amazon.com!

I know, but I wouldn't consider noise range and/or performance a feature in dSLRs :p

What was the total for preordering on amazon crazzy? if you don't mind that is... ?

Same sensor as the D300--which has equivalent iso performance as the 40D. Anything above 6400 wouldn't be pretty.

Anyhow, Chase Jarvis has an excellent write/video/pics of the D90 that he's been testing for a while: http://blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/2008/08/c...ting-nikon.html

Well I got just the body, so it's $999.95. No sales tax. And I got 2 day shipping, which was $14.something. So basically $1015.

Niiiiiiicee! I hope they will make a price drop for the D80.

Yea, wait until late september once the D90's been on the market a few days and I'm sure there will be something.

Not too sure why Live View is a good thing though. It kinda crosses the bridge between P&S and DSLR - makes me think the cameraman is a bit less professional. However, that is my opinion :) Still tempted to ditch my D60 and get one of these beasts as I guess bracketing will come as standard which will help me loads.

Live view is very helpful when you're shooting in awkward positions that won't let you see through the view finder. I've encountered this a lot. I also hear it's quite helpful when using a macro lens, as you can zoom in using live view and focus on the exact spot you want. So it's not for "less professional" uses at all.

So amazon.com sent me a email today giving me an estimated arrival date.

So I preordered on August 27th. So it took them two weeks to give me an ETA. And that ETA is October 7th THROUGH November 8th.

A WHOLE DAMN MONTH!? Nikon says they'll be shipping in September. I got 1 day shipping which means it doesn't ship until october 6th at the extreme earliest.

:(

I hope they greatly exaggerated the shipping date.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
