Nikons answer on Canons 300Dl ?

One look at his posting history would suggest that his question does not deserve an answer. Let him "ogle" at Canon forum and then ask the question there. No sense in feeding trolls.
...will Nikon bring a new camera out ?

Are there any rumors ?
I have heard nothing.

I ogle with the 300D, but I am not sure to me any more.
So, what will Nikon do ?

I'm not going to debate the N/C thing. But I just wanted to point out that, based on his past posts, this poster is a G3 user and he's contemplating an entry-level DSLR. He's not committed to any one product, so he's weighing his options. He's merely tapping into the "human intelligence" here at this forum with an honest question to see what his options may be. If you open fire like that on every newbie who wanders in here, you're going to kill or scare away any potential new users. Or at the very least, if everyone takes the attitude that, "This guy ain't worth my time and I ain't gonna help him", then people might get the impression that you're a downright unhelpful or inhospitable group.

So take your fingers from the trigger and put down your weapons. He's just a stranger passing through, and he probably ain't never coming back, especially after a welcome like that.

I would agree with you Peter except for one thing. These posters come on one time at the top and then sit back and watch. Been a while since the question was asked and no reply to offer additional information.

I would respect a post that said look, I use a G3 and have been looking at the 300D which includes asking questions on the Canon Forum. Before I make a decision, I sincerely would like to explore what Nikon may have to offer. Can anyone offer me any suggestions?

I would be more open to an approach like that then seeing a list of Canon posts and then a sudden move to Nikon with a 300D message. It may well be that the poster was sincere but troll tactics are what they are. This one smacks of a taunt. And especially when more than one person (Nikon) takes note.

Additionally, as far as new folk go and being scared off, you have some Canon folks to thank for that for their thoughless acts at Nikon forum. The same can be said for Nikon trolls at Canon forums (a guess since I don't cruise the Canon forums).

But, from what you have just said, I will be extra careful in the future with new folks. Perhaps a three strike rule or something to that effect to see how they behave. Surprised? Shouldn't be. I'm one of the rare folks here that has not called you a troll, read what you have to say, and mostly find that your posts are informative. You bring a balance to any discussion even if its not a popular post to others. Anyone should be able to take all the information presented, digest it, and come up with a logical conclusion. No reason to attack someone for presenting their thoughts even if you disagee with them. More to the benefit of folks who have yet to draw any conclusions on a particular subject.

If a new guy went in there, he can't read 1000 posts just to find
if there will be a D70,D75 or what ever....

Give it up, Larry...he's a troll :)

Hey, I have an idea...why dont we all go over to the Canon forums and blast them with these troll questions...you know "What will Canon's answer be to the new D2H?"..."what will Canons answer be to the rumored D2X"?..."How can Canon promote world peace?" "Can Canon stop the war in iraq?"

Jesus, Im sick to death of these Canon trolls and their - 300D this and 300D that...the damned plastic camera from Canon is one of a kind...Nikon doesnt NEED to answer the "300D". I hope everyone DOES buy the damned 300D so they can be turned off by a plastic 1000 dollar digital camera that wont last them a year...

Sincerely yours...

AllenD!

I'd go along with you Larry on this one. If you check out the guys other posts, you will find that he posts very briefly anyway. I suspect his English is not too fluent. Also, possibly he is a little surprised by the internal politics of these fora, and I am pretty unsurprised he has not re-posted after the response he got.

It's entirely up to people here how they use their forum, but surely things are getting a little hasty and defensive?

Having got a G2 surely does not preclude him from looking at getting a nikon DSLR!

Go Petey and save the ignorant Canon noob from those bad, bad Nikon users!. Preach on Reverend Petey and tell those Nikon infidels the way to the true light of Canon salvation!

hahaha...you're so predictable dude.

Hi David! That's just it. His posts are brief and he does well with his English for being from Germany. But I went back and read every one of his post and I have to give Peter the benefit of the doubt. The poster had a very innocent quality in the tone and manner of how he expressed himself. Nothing sinister at all. If anything, a defined difficulty in the written English but more power to him for trying. A great way to practice at any rate.

I must usually defer to Allen for his experience with forums. More so that he caught me with my pants down on one of my own prints today. Peter may well be a real troll but at least he doesn't post and run away to watch the fireworks. He hangs in there and defends his position. I have to respect him for that and there are times when he has a good point whether one agrees with him or not. Maybe he is really a Gumbe Bear Troll or a Thinking Troll (compliments).

Well, actually you're pretty predictable, too. So when do you graduate into high school? I particularly liked it when you penned this intellectual passage:

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Canon no.1 Nikon = poop!

Seriously though, if we all stick to the topics at hand, we'll all be fine. No need to call people ignorant. And camera equipment his not a religion. They are simply tools to help us to our work or do our art.
 
...thats it.

For what I should search if I do not know for what I should search?
So I have to ask.

SORRY, don't know that the open talk forum is the right one for my topic.
Thought it is a SLR-question.

Marco
Plus, all of this "will there be" is pure speculation anyway.
Anyone who knows for sure, is most certainly under NDA.

What a great bunch you folks are ...... NOT! Like Marcos I made an inquiry in this forum regarding Nikon's likely response to the 300d hoping for some usefull info. As a long time Nikon film SLR user before quitting my film gear and getting a CP5000 and accessories & wanting to move to a DSLR, I foolishly hoped for some advice if there was any up to date knowledge. Instead I got flamed. As a result I decided not to wait to see what Nikon comes out with at some unknown future time and ordered a 300D. Once I have built a supply Canon lenses and dedicated flashes etc I'm unlikely to look at Nikon again but will I imagine progress to a better Canon as funds allow.

If you guys want to further your cause you'd be better welcoming folks who visit here rather than flaming the innocent. Goodbye Nikon.
 
........ you are supporting evidence and it must be stopped.

Unless, naturally all these troll callers are really Canon employees, in any event troll callers should be banned, they are doing more damage than good.
 
Marcos, you do bring up a good point, and one that plagues any system which contains "unorderd" information. Here is what I do, generally, before I start a new thread.

1. Look at what I think may be the pertinent forums to see if I can spot any current threads on my subject. If I do, great, I don't start a new one, I just participate in one that I see.

2. If I don't find one this way, then I will use the search function, first trying in the specific forum, then across all forums if I still haven't found what I was looking for.

For example, in your case I would simply search for "300D", which, in this forum, yields well over a dozen threads, including such subjects as:
"Wow, if Nikon doesn't answer the 300D..."
"300D is on the market, where is D70?"
"Nikon vs Canon D100 300D"
"Nikon's response to the 300D?"
"Nikon needs camera to counter 300D"

As you can see, many of these threads already cover this subject. There was a response from Sotare to this thread that with the search you never find what you want. I think that the example I have just given shows just the opposite, those threads are exactly what you were looking for. I will usually try one or two keywords, and if I don't find anything within the last 5 days or so, I will then start a new thread. What is annoying many on this forum, myself included, is that we keep seeing new threads started on this subject with no new information. That is not your "fault", you are simply asking a question, but it is better etiquette to check for other threads first.

I think your question is in the correct forum, by the way.

I hope this explanation helps to understand the search function better, as well as to explain some of the comments you have received. By the way, the search I did for "300D' took less than 10 seconds.
For what I should search if I do not know for what I should search?
So I have to ask.

SORRY, don't know that the open talk forum is the right one for my
topic.

@all:
What Have I done ?
I feel me guiltily.
There are much more answers on my topic than on the ohter ones.

Will never do such a mistake, SORRY !!!!!!

Marco
 
Marco, take a look at my last post in this thread, explaining what I think has caused some of this. Well, actually, now that I have posted this one, it is the next to the last :-).

Don't give up.
