Nikon D700X in Summer 2009

beansbaxter · 01-11-2009, 03:27 PM

History shows us that the D700 came out a year after the D3, and offers exactly the same image quality in sharpness and high-ISO performance in a smarter, smaller package.

Therefore it's obvious to any casual observer that the D700x is due out a year after the D3X.

The D3X was announced on 01 July 2008, meaning I'd expect the D700x to be announced in the summer of 2009 and ship at the end of 2009.

Most decent photographers are boycotting the outrageously priced D3X, and by doing so, keeping themselves open to getting the mostly likely superior D700x instead.

Nikon scammed us with the D3: we all bought them as Nikon's first FX DSLR. A year later, out comes the D700, which handles much better and faster.

This time, Nikon can keep their $8,000 bluff, and I'll wait for a D700X.

It makes sense about the 700X coming out in the summer. But I have to disagree on the D700 being better than the D3. Better yes, if you are talking about size and price.
