D2x rumour....

Go to last post
I guess you could look up the number for Interbrew and speak with the Chairman to ask for confirmation. Then again, you could just wait until Xmas and see if anyone remembers this information :-).

Would be nice.

Im going to wait one more month and if nikon dont release the d2h by then im switching over to canon. Had a bloody F* KING gutsful waiting on nikon. And who knows when the d2x is going to be released.

Hurry the F* KUP NIKON
 
Hmm... interesting indeed.

I'd postulated on the possibility of a 14mp FF LBCAST answer for the new D2x to explain the long awaited delay here ( http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1021&message=6308321 ) but I didn't predict an announcement on it until some time next year, if Nikon is moving this fast on scaling out the LBCAST technology ...their statement of an increasing pace of development in the DSLR space seems to be happening with great alacrity.

Hopefully this information isn't the figment of our over active imaginations, maybe we'll find out for sure in december.

I'd be surprised if a full frame D2x is 14mp (or 13.5 to be more precise). That would indicate that LBCAST has been developed in two photosite sizes, which I think is too much to expect at this point. More likely is 10mp.

What are you missing with your current Nikon equipment that is stopping you from doing your job? I can only surmise that your job is very critical and will be lost in 30 days or less. To save you the greif and possible job loss I would recommend you switch today and dump the equipment that is holding you back. Would you do me a favor and send me an email with your equipment list and how much you want for this junk. Being an amature I don't need equipment at the level you do thank goodness.

I don't know too much about the D2H, but if the sensor was the same, and was just upscaled to FF with no change in photosite size, what would the resolution be? Is that where you get you 10MP from?

I have played with some of the 14n samples and the resolution is just what I'm after (trying to avoid investing in Mf...) but the noise and usability is horrid.....

Before the LBCAST announcement 13.5mp FF for the D2x wasn't very likely, but since LBCAST things have changed IMO , especially in light of the more recent comments of the Nikon Imaging president concerning FF and more rapid development. True about the dual photosites, but if the price is right thanks to the yield and cost savings of LBCAST tech. I think it is plausible.

As for 10mp vs 13.5mp for the D2x res, I am leaning toward highier than 10mp but we shall see!

Unless, of course Nikon choose to do what they did with the D1x and double the horizontal res of the d2h. This would make for an 8.5mp digicam.

I thought with all the talk going around, the D2H was only going to be a 4mp. If it is 12 or 14, you might even see some of the Kodak 14n coverting over...Melissa

The only problem with my camera is it has a loose nut behind the viewfinder.

The only easy day was yesterday.

Not much of a retrofit is required. Just some way of getting the sensor far enough into the film gate to accomodate the glass cover and filter. Just mill out the back plate of the camera a bit, like Kodak did to the N80 body used for 14n.

But I imagine it will be based on the new body (faster mechanism, new AF system, etc) used for D2H.

Not at full frame, which is what we all believe the D2x to be. It would be 19.3mp if it used the same photosite design as the D2h and split the pixels ala the D1x.

Hey Tony,

Don't say that the name of the wife of the uncle is Sarah. If it is, I know her well and there are a couple of things you should know about her. E-mail me if so.

Regards

Raul
