Nikon D3 Drop Test [YouTube Video]—allegedly it survived. I wouldn't recommend trying it

D3 Jealousy

Have a look at the ISO these were shot at. There's almost no real noise at ISO 1600, and it's only minor at 3200. ISO 6400, is the new ISO 800 it seems.

Nikon D300 (Updated)

Engadget is predicting that a new set of professional grade DSLRs are expected from Nikon perhaps as soon as tomorrow. The new bodies, D300 and D3, presumably replace the D200, and D2 series, and add new features such as the potentially battery sucking live LCD display, and up to 11 FPS on the D3 (8 possible on the D300).

EDIT: It appears that Nikon has infact released two new cameras and a bunch of new lenses. The D3 and the D300 have been introduced and look incredible. Also introduced (in the D3), is a new full frame sensor, which is capable of adapting to the DX style lenses seemlessly. Those users who have invested a ton to outfit their D2's with DX lenses aren't out of luck, but you will only get 5.1 megapixels instead of the 12.1 of the full size FX sensor. Great to see that Nikon didn't render the DX lenses entirely useless though.

The Nikon D40 is apparently popular enough for it's own photography blog. Seems like a good source of information for those [D40 users who might have been screwed out of 4MP with the introduction of the "X" model.... I mean] proud owners of this camera.

Let the Pictures Do the Talking

My intention isn't to start a war, but this extensive list of "amazing" pics sure would make me buy a Nikon if I thought my camera mattered.
P.S. I'm a Nikon user anyway.
P.P.S. Canon users: have a similar list? Suggest it!
