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.

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
