Rumors of New Nikon Cameras

[Zach Matthews]

Hey guys –

I’ve been scanning some rumor sites and forums.

Interesting trends for sure Zach. I sure hope I will be able to get a full frame Canon body at a more affordable cost in the future.

…if you’re still shooting film, you’re about the only one left in the room.

Just an interesting note. Fuji is reintroducing its Velvia 50 this spring–Velvia II–because of demand. It had to be discontinued last year because of difficulties in procuring some of the key raw materials. See the press release:

I’ll sure be continuing to use it in my back up camera as long as they make it or until I can afford a full frame digital. I’m sure it will work wonders in that F3.  🙂

Overkill.

Give me a 13-16 MP camera with great dynamic range and little noise and I am livin high. Like you said, Zach, 20+ MP cameras are overkill unless you are doing fine-art digital prints. If I were solely a fine-art digital photographer, I would buy a digital back for a 4×5 view camera, have my camera movements and greater resolution.

The F3 is a classic film camera.

I spoke to the Nikon Rep this week about these rumors. According to him, that’s all they are. He assured me that until Nikon could produce a full frame camera that would sell for the price of a D2X, they wouldn’t build one.
