Interesting. Wonder what the "Grid Lines" are?
--Valliesto
They're a good idea as far as I am concerned. Makes it easier to adjust vert and horiz. PatiO.

Thought so, I would like to see a demo.

They are a great idea and were implemented ni the Nikon F80.
I have a grid-screen in my EOS3, it really helps with horizons and framing. The ability to switch it off in the Nikon lines is cool.

It gotta be a D30 clone!!! Look at that battery/verticle grid! Canon must sue Nokon and ban it from the market!

I guess to Nikon people, copying Canon's lens technologies
is innovation now???:

I think they have just had to sit and watch Canon technology advance for so long, it must be hard for them to feel good about Nikon. But if they try to claim it as something Nikon has invented then they are idiots. It is sad to watch a proud company like Nikon have to copy white lenses, just to try to cover up the fact they have lost major market share.

Forgive the intrusion, but Nikon has had White lenses in the past. This is nothing new.--Regards,Joe H.---------------------------------------www.biggerboatstudios.com

Nikon D100: reflex cameras (SLR) 6 Mpix
Nikon has just cut down its cards: its new numerical reflex camera (DSLR) names D100, is placed under current D1 and, with a sensor 6 million pixels, it aims the expert amateurs clearly because its price could be very tight.
A few days only after Fuji and Sigma and 24heures before Gun, Nikon has just revealed officially its new numerical reflex camera: Nikon D100 which announces 6 million pixels proudly!
This apparatus undoubtedly will make run much ink: beyond the great speeches and thundering presentations, Chasseur of Images offers the synthesis of to you what it is necessary to know about this apparatus.
summarized D100...
Numerical reflex camera based on F80. Capteur cuts APS (23,7 X 15,6mm) of 6,31 Mpix for images of 3.008 X 2.000 pixels maximum. Coefficient of realignment with optics 24x36: x1,5.
Recording: RAW, tiff or JPEG on card CompactFlash I or II MicroDrive Compatibility.
Give rhythm: not specified! There is a Rafale mode well, but one does not know any more about it.
Interface: USB 1.1!!! There, it is fault: why not in FireWire?
Photo section: like F80, except realignment x1,5.
Equivalent sensitivity: 200-1600 ISO... " boostable "
Weight-obstruction: 14 X 12 X 8 cm. 700g.
the case...
Against any waiting, D100 is built on the basis only one F100 but starting from a frame of F80! Its purely photographic characteristics are thus those of F80, apparatus which one finds the principal functions, ergonomics, the modes of exposure, etc.
It thus appears clear that Nikon D100 enters in direct competition with Fuji S2 since the two apparatuses are built on the same mechanical basis.
It now remains to know, during later tests, which of the two manufacturers will have made a success of the integration of the digital part best.
the digital part...
Nikon always refused to communicate the origin of its sensors. The similarity between the announced characteristics of D100 and the capacities of the new sensor Sony 6,11 mégapixels does not let plane much doubt.
the price, the date...
You will find, logically, no information relating to the price of the animal nor on its date of marketing.
We are able to however announce that Nikon D100 will not be available, in quantity, before summer 2002. It will thus be necessary to wait until June or July to see the first specimens out of window.
As for the prices... it could be a question of the good surprise of the moment: without guarantee no, because Nikon refuses with any comment on this point, D100 would have, logically, being marketed with less than 3.000 euros!
In fact, it is clear that all the manufacturers are observed: Fuji S2, Sigma SD-9, Nikon F100 and Canon EOS-D aim at a same crenel, the expert amateur. To allure it, it will be necessary to place the numerical reflex cameras between 2500 and 3500 euros but it is a difficult challenge.
Nikon F100 vis-a-vis with its competitors...
One thinks initially of D1, of which resolution is little, but which profits from a more robust construction and, which know, from a better quality of image! The resolution does not do all, it is now necessary to await the tests to judge.
Idem for the exit of the combat Fuji S2 / Sigma SD-9 / Gun EOS-D / Nikon D100. The announced resolutions are not the same ones, but we do not trust the technical cards, it is the test of the ground which will say which is the best.
THE LINK WHICH HURTS
If the small photographs of this information leave you a taste of " step enough ", make you badly by charging this one, which shows D100 into 3/4 with all the details:
You will have wanted it!

LOL! Was that C-3PO doing the translations? Nevermind.

It is no intrusion, we are all friends here (well most of us). The only other Nikons I know of that are white are some of the long primes. I was under the imperssion that this addition of white lenses was a recent introduction, is it not?
As a Nikon user what is your feeling about the white Nikons?

Haha. I think the direct translation of digital to French is numerical.

A scene at a French-speaking airport:
"Sir (or Madam in case), can you show me what you are holding/this thing in the bag?" asked the security in English with heavy French assent.
"It is a Canon!" you returned with a proud smile on your face
Atmosphere immediately condenses. You look around confused and then two armed guards grab your arms and take you away for interrogation....
(touch wood!)

(Stepping gently)
Honestly, it's a moot point for me. I personally prefer a black lens, simply because as a photographer (the so called silent observer) should not intrude on an event and black recedes. Sounds funny, but again, as long as there are no "Hassleblad" M&M colored lenses, I'm easy.
The other white Nikon's I've seen are long primes, yes, but I don't own any nor do I get to play with any.
I'm not sure of their age on the market, but it's nothing that came out yesterday or should be concidered "new."After reading this I've come to see that the white lens is a Badge for Canon that I didn't realize was so important. I can see how the reaction of seeing a new competing VR lens shelled in white can seem like an arrogant slap in the face to Canon and their white IS lenses. Canon lens technology has long impressed me with the weight (or lack thereof) and IS. I'm a fairly big guy, so weight doesn't necessarily bother me, but it would be nice to have IS (VR) lenses. Though I'm not sure image stabalizing would make a huge difference in my shooting.
I make frequent use of a pair of d30's that a studio I work for because they are small and lightweight compared to my d1x & are easy to be discreat with. This D100 announcement is very welcome because it will mean I don't have to carry 2 types of lenses... or borrow cameras fom the studio
Thanks for listening.
