--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's a cool idea, but it just seems to fanciful to become a
reality. Having a Camera that's both a 1.5x and 2.0x crop would be
handy, but 2.0x on an SLR would be almost too small to compose
anything.

--Hey, If you were me (see my equip in profile), would you buy the
D2h or 70-200VR first. I will likely end up with both in 6-8
months time. And, I do not plan to sell anything I already have.

Buy the 70-200VR, you can get it now. The camera is likely to take a few months before you'll be able to get it. Also consider getting a 1.7x teleconvertor (if you don't have any TCs currently).Thanks. I appreciate it when the good guys look out after each other.

If I were you, I would have chosen be silent now, just wait one or two more day then everyone will know the answer. It is better than making big cliam now at the rislk of looking very bad then.It's a cool idea, but it just seems to fanciful to become a
reality. Having a Camera that's both a 1.5x and 2.0x crop would be

It's just not going to happen. It would kill sales of the D2h in a
big way (yeah yeah, it'll be like another 1000 bucks, but
newspapers investing in cameras probably has deeper pockets than
some dude who's just upgrading his D70 for family picnics) and it's
just not necessary!!
You can argue all you want, but I've been saying for weeks that
this is nothing more than the 'D2x' equivilant of what we all did
with the D2h, which was set our bar of expectations unnaturally
high to the point where the delivered product will only be a
dissapointment, regardless of how fine the product actually is.
You'll all see in a couple of days.

Set low goals and you'll never be disapointed.
Now, a 2.0x Crop taken from a 1.5x Cropped FF is equal to 1.33333x
of that 1.5x crop.
16mm/12mm = 1.33333
24mm/18mm = 1.33333
12.32mp = 4300 x 2876 on a 24mm x 16mm sensor
So, 4300 / 1.33333 = 3225
and 2876 / 1.33333 = 2150
3225 x 2150 = 6.93mp on a 12mm x 18mm crop

I'm not following you here. If you look at the sports photographers lined up to shoot sporting events, you see a sea of long, white lenses. I'm sure Nikon would be happy to replace some of those with shorter black ones.It's a cool idea, but it just seems to fanciful to become a
reality. Having a Camera that's both a 1.5x and 2.0x crop would be
handy, but 2.0x on an SLR would be almost too small to compose

Nikon should be so lucky to kill D2h sales in this way! Each customer they "lose" this way means more profit for them.It's just not going to happen. It would kill sales of the D2h in a

That Nikon's crop is 1.5x not 1.6X. 6.9 sounds right assuming a 1.5X crop to start with.What he probably meant is that the math isn't right. One would
expect 7.9MP, not 6.9.
The guy with the 1Dmark2 was in the same exact situation, except
with the extra megapixels he is able to crop into the image and
pull something out that is acceptable for print. You try doing the
same thing, unfortunately with only 4mp you are unable to salvage
such a detailed image. You loose the shot and you loose the sale.
This is a real life work situation. The ability to crop into an
image can make the difference if you make a sale or not.
I don't need to print large, I just need more reassurance to
guarantee the shot. More megapixels is that reassurance.
