D2X and F6 : OFFICIAL PRESENTATION to RESELLERS.

(Please excuse my english, I know it sucks. Thank you !)

Yesterday at Nikon France, product presentation :
D2X, F6 and AF-s VR 300/2.8. Nothing else.

D2X : 12.4 MP, 5 fps, 15 NEF picts buffer. -- Crop x2 = 8fps / 6.9 MP (I don't remember how many pictures in the buffer then)
ISO 100 to 800, then only 1600 and 3200 accessible by custom settings.

Faster Wi-Fi and in two ways : the camera can be remotely operated from a computer.
DXO integrated : each lens is recognised and corrected by DXO in the camera...

Special setting : individual treatment of bright groups of pixels to avoid or delay overexposure and improve dynamic response.
Same body as D2H, except a minor improvement on the vertical grip.
Improved (!) 3D metering system - still 1005 rvb pixels but new algorythm.
Price in France : 5200 € - VAT included

Dave --> I don't know how they address the 2x mode in the viewfinder, sorry ! I'll ask my friend tomorrow. By the way : this person is the biggest Nikon reseller in France. I fully trust him : these are NOT rumors. I only wish I could have been there with him. But I'm "just" a pro photographer, not a reseller...

F6 : replaces F5 and F100. As big as F100. Unlike the F5, it is not monobloc (do you say "monobloc" in english ?) External battery pack available.

Without it, it needs lithium batteries (!?!) and reaches 5fps. With the MB-something, it uses either 8 AA standard batteries or the same EN-EL4 as D2 series. It then reaches 8fps.
Improved 3D metering system over the F5, i-TTL also available.
D2-like AF, adapted to 24x36mm.
100 % viewfinder. Not interchangeable.

Construction quality is F5/D2 like. Much better than the plastic F100 (my friend said).
Price in France : 2200 € - VAT included. => this is good news...

Availability : I don't know !!! I forgot to ask ! Sorry !

it does make sense
little surprised at the 800 iso.

at 800 iso. Nikon never intended this camera to infringe on the D2H area of specialty. It is the flagship replacement to the D1X, not a replacement for the D2H and neither were they trying to copy the 1DMKII.

I still think Canon's line-up seems more effective. There seems to be overlap between the D2H and the D2X. Not that I would switch to Canon, but some sort of upgraded D2H (preferably more MP, perhaps around 6 and more uniform noise quality) would satisfy my needs perfectly.

If this camera is meant to compete with both 1Ds and 1DMKII, the price in the US must be around the $4500. The 1Ds is hard to beat because of the FF. The MKII is 8.2MP/8.5 fps - a real superb combo for $4500. The 1Ds is 11MP, close enough in rez., so the 1Ds is out of the D2X range.

If all is said is true, I really expected this thing (including price), but Nikon is not going to find as many upgraders among D2H owners as they would have liked. Perhaps some D1X owners that skipped on the D2H would be the target market for this new 'beast'.

It looks like it's leaking now...

from a computer.
DXO integrated : each lens is recognised and corrected by DXO in
the camera...
Special setting : individual treatment of bright groups of pixels
to avoid or delay overexposure and improve dynamic response.
Same body as D2H, except a minor improvement on the vertical grip.
Improved (!) 3D metering system - still 1005 rvb pixels but new
algorythm.
Price in France : 5200 € - VAT included

Dave --> I don't know how they address the 2x mode in the
viewfinder, sorry ! I'll ask my friend tomorrow. By the way : this
person is the biggest Nikon reseller in France. I fully trust him :
these are NOT rumors. I only wish I could have been there with him.
But I'm "just" a pro photographer, not a reseller...

F6 : replaces F5 and F100. As big as F100. Unlike the F5, it is not
monobloc (do you say "monobloc" in english ?) External battery pack
available.
Without it, it needs lithium batteries (!?!) and reaches 5fps. With
the MB-something, it uses either 8 AA standard batteries or the
same EN-EL4 as D2 series. It then reaches 8fps.
Improved 3D metering system over the F5, i-TTL also available.
D2-like AF, adapted to 24x36mm.
100 % viewfinder. Not interchangeable.
Construction quality is F5/D2 like. Much better than the plastic
F100 (my friend said).
Price in France : 2200 € - VAT included. => this is good news...

Availability : I don't know !!! I forgot to ask ! Sorry !

That would be called D200 (perhaps 8MP though, since all the P&S are there and this is one of the target markets for Nikon).

Based on this (if true) I can see the D200 at $2000, 8MP/4-5 fps, improveds AF - no vertical grip built-in (hope to be wrong on this).
D2X and F6 : OFFICIAL PRESENTATION to RESELLERS.

(Please excuse my english, I know it sucks. Thank you !)

Yesterday at Nikon France, product presentation :
D2X, F6 and AF-s VR 300/2.8. Nothing else.

D2X : 12.4 MP, 5 fps, 15 NEF picts buffer. -- Crop x2 = 8fps / 6.9
MP (I don't remember how many pictures in the buffer then)
ISO 100 to 800, then only 1600 and 3200 accessible by custom settings.
Faster Wi-Fi and in two ways : the camera can be remotely operated
from a computer.
DXO integrated : each lens is recognised and corrected by DXO in
the camera...
Special setting : individual treatment of bright groups of pixels
to avoid or delay overexposure and improve dynamic response.
Same body as D2H, except a minor improvement on the vertical grip.

Unless we know what Nikon is planning, it really feels like their pro line is all over the place. Why did they implement a 2x cropped capability in the D2X with 8FPS? Almost negates the fact of owning a D2H. The D2H was supposed to go against the original 1D, which is now discontinued. Wouldn't it make more sense for the D2H to compete head on with the 1Dmark2 and have the D2X go against the 1DS?
I still think Canon's line-up seems more effective. There seems to
be overlap between the D2H and the D2X.
Yeah, a lot of overlap between the D2h and D2x and a huge gap
between the D70 and D2h. Maybe a major price drop for the D2h?

going to just abandon it's speed camera (D2H) and squeeze in another, more improved model. The D2H will remain as it was targeted at, "the sports PJ camera" for Nikon. It doesn't need more megapixels just because Canon MKII has more. Come on guys ... you still caught up in this more MP hype? Simply look at the images from the D2H (when shot by someone who knows how to use the camera). NOW, place one of those images next to a MKII image. Let's say, most popular size for this type of usage 8 X 10 or smaller. Please then tell me which is from the higher MP camera?

Well, there doesn't really seem any chance of it's taking sales from the D2H - for sports use , which is the D2H's real forte, ISO 800 is not enough, you don't want to be getting onto extended ISO at 1600 for that sort of use.
The choice of ISO indicates that the D2X is much more studio focussed

Please see profile for equipment
 
especially if that is MSRP and the actual street price comes in lower.
What would that be in US$ dollars? I don't mean just currency
exchange.
