Tell Nikon what you want (1 Viewer)

[Duke Leto]

Okay for a bit of fun, post a response on this thread BUT to keep it simple, a few rules
1, Do not comment on another persons wish
2, Enter only your top 3 wishes per post
3, Number your wishes in priority order, 1 highest 3 lowest

I'll keep an eye on this over the coming weeks and when theres enough responses I'll post the wish list back on the thread.

Let me kick it off

1, DX D-SLRs CMOS sensors to have better noise characteristics
2, 600/5.6vr
3, Dual CF slots on any body that is marketed as professional by Nikon

 

[pe'rigin]

1. Improved new sensor, quality, colour, and sensitivity across DX and FF.

2. A mid-ranged DX @ 15Mb, matching D700 specification at a sensible price, no video or other gimmicks.


3. 400mm F4/5.6 VR with nano coating.

 

[Phil Bishop]

!. A high frame rate, high iso (but at the same time a wide dynamic range) DX body would be nice. 12Mp is plenty for me.
2. An update to the 200mm micro with nano coating.
3. 400mm F5.6 vr

 

[imagedude]

1) 400mm F4
2) An autofocus Nikon F3 with a digital sensor
3) 400mm f5.6

 

[fugl]

1. 400mm f5.6ED vr
2. DX sensor with improved noise handling
3. ??

 

[daniel_st]

1. AF-S VR 400/5.6 (a great compliment for the big gun when doing birds in flight)
2. Higher frame rate than 8 FPS on a prosumer-body (at least 10 FPS)
3. Better noise performence on DX-format at high ISO (matching my D700)

[stoop]

1. AF-S 400mm f5.6 VR.
2. AF-S 300mm f4 VR.
3. Satisfied with D300.

 

[bkrownd]

1) An end to the endless power problems! Argh!
2) VR in the 300mm f/4 or a VR 400mm f/5.6, duh.
3) Fix the ergonomics: Move all the buttons on the back of the body to the right side and closer together so they can be worked with the right thumb without removing hand from the grip. Also, move the lens release button to the other side of the lens so we don't have to swap hands to change lenses!

 

[ikw101]

1. AF-S 400mm f5.6 VR.
2. AF-S 300mm f4 VR.
3. A 15mp replacement for D300 c/w a DX CMOS sensor with the noise characteristics
of the D3.

 

[Dave Williams]

1) An AF-S 80-400mm or similar VR f5.6
2) A 2.0X TC that is as good as Canon's appears to be.
3) The D400 !

 

[Helios]

A couple of old primes.

1) 600mm f5.6 with AFS and VR
2)400mm f3.5 also

And to force a drop in price of the D3 and D700:-

3) D4 or D800

 

[pduxon]

1. A compact with dSLR performance
2. A wide dx prime (the 35f1.8 is lovely)
3. one of 300f4 VRII, 400 VRII f5.6, 80-400 with AFS and VRII

i'd love to be able to comment on some of the above

 

[gandytron]

1. 400mm VRII f5.6
2. 400mm VRII f4 - similar size/weight to Canon's DO
3. D90 replacement to have flash synch up to 500/sec (instead of 200/sec)

 

[martin england]

1 AF-S 400mm f5.6 vr
2 AF-S 300mm f4.0 vr
3 AF-S 80-400mm vr

And above all else LOWER PRICES PLEASE NIKON

 

[Sussex bird man]

I'd support much of this.... basically affordable telephotos at the 400/500mm end, VR maybe. Canon can do it why not Nikon?

RR

1 AF-S 400mm f5.6 vr
2 AF-S 300mm f4.0 vr
3 AF-S 80-400mm vr

And above all else LOWER PRICES PLEASE NIKON

 

[I4ani]

1. Pro grade body (a la D3), with interchangable plug in sensors.Body upgrade every 5-7 years, sensors as and when.
2. Lighter and more affordable pro grade lenses.
3. Autofocus system that works beyond f5.6.

 

[jourdaj]

I'm surprised that noone has mentioned a 400mm f/5.6 w/ VR!!!

That's my only choice!

 

[postcardcv]

a D3 that works with my Canon lenses would be nice...
