Canon interview: the end of the DX pro line

If that is the approach:

1) Does not make sense just for the 'added; build, others will do similar to Canon and Nikon. And some have investment in lenses etc.

2) One choice, but semi-pro or pro fx starts at 2,900 =D800, D4 being over 4k. Not a possibility for many.

3) The only option remaining for some, if there is no direct D300 replacement. That said, there are a few factors that will give an issue like buffer size etc. The other side of the coin, is that one can replace faster, if it is cheaper than a 'D400' to begin with. And plastics are fairly strong, that should not be an issue. What WILL be an issue is build quality i.e quality control and reliability. It does not seem that the current quality control, from seeing the many issues, compares to the D3, D700, D300 series. That is a shame. But, if Nikon improve QC to the extent that it needs, more would adopt the newer cameras willingly, I suspect.
