damn.

5,000 dollars for a camera?

jesus h. christ.

wait, how is it possible to take that picure?

shouldn't the other guys in that picture be "moving" too?

put the $$ we both have spent on camera equipment together and you have $$$$$

that's 11 pictures taken in a burst of 8fps at 8mp.

it's called photoshop..

thats what i figured, but i thought i'd make sure.

thats insane!

are there other features on this camera?

www.dpreview.com
lists everything there

what would you say if i bought this for myself for my bday?
heh

that was me
~carina

if you wanted to buy that for yourself for your bday, I would have no problems with it. It's your $$ and youwould use it. I would just force you to learn how to do post processing on NEFs.

I'm trying to figure out what to do... the up on my D70 is broken now and the back plate is loose...
that means I need to send in my 17-55, my old Sb-800dx AND my D70! WTF!?!

what about the Fujifilm S3? that's a sweet ass camera too

the fuji S3 is much better than the S2 (or the s1 for that matter)
but there isn't much difference between a $1000 nikon D70 and a $2400 S3
the S3 has:
PC Synch for flash (a $19 part for the D70)
ISO 100
a 2.0" LCD (the D70 is 1.8")

where as the D2X has sooo much more...
like the x2 FOV button
better metering (3d matrix II)
12MP (s3 and D70 and D100 are 6.1mp)
2.5" LCD
5fps and 8fps modes
advanced NR
Solid Magnesium alloy body
and a bunch of other things.

tom's did the batteries run out on your camera?
I've been trying to call you all day.

so, what would you reccommend for a nice, reasonably priced digital SLR? keep in mind I'm a Nikon fan :P

I would say that the D70 is better for the $$$.
the only thing that is has over the D70 is the built in vertical grip.
if you need the vertical grip...
the nikon D2H (4.1MP) is going for about $2K on ebay now.
and then a SB-800Dx flash ($300)

If I had the money, I might get rid of my D70 and get a D2H.. granted the D2Hs is coming out next month.. but it's going to be $3400. if it were $2K, I would sell the bonds that I have and get the D2Hs.
since it's $3400 for 4.1MP... or $5K for 12Mp and it's imaginary $$ right now, I would go with the D2X

oh, D70 = $1100-1200 with a lens. the lens on it is shitty after 30mm though... do you have any glass yet?

there are rumors of a D50 next month, but I have no idea.
also rumors of a D200 in the fall and maybe one other camera in between

I don't know if my Nikon N series 35mm lenses will fit on the body or not, I may need all new lenses :(

N-series camers use the Nikon F mount.
that works perfectly on the D-series.
what lenses do you have?

why is the rev still at work?
hurry up and leave!
~carina

cause I've got work to do still...
trying to get this build DONE!

=(

ok so he left work and i'm waiting for him to arrive while a present lies next to me..

w00t

go me, 35mm, I don't give a fuck?!!!?!

I just ordered one.. eppers!

mar 9 was my bday woo woo and i guess that's when i bought it...

I don't think so.. seeing as I got my D2H on april 4th and I got my D2H before you got your D2X.

when are you leaving work?

need to drop the kids off at the pool and then leave.

hahaha
sent you an email..thought i asked you something important and now i forget
my brain = fried
