New Nikon D2H has same AF-patern than *istD
Hallo Nikon is just annoncing a new digital body D2H with three new lenses: http://www.photim.net/Nikon-D2/Nikon-D2H.htm It is interesting, that the the new D2h uses the same AF patern than the *ist/*istD. There are also three new DX lenses, a 10.5 fisheye, a 2.8/17-55 and a VR 4/200-400 all for a faktor of 1.5. So Nikon combines the advantages of the 4/3 system (smaller CCD --> smaller lenses) with there old F-moúnt standard. Well done, the E-1 will be even more in trouble. regards Rüdiger

Pentax and Nikon share shutter units and sensor used in DSLR. Maybe they share subcontractors or cooperate on technology. The 200-400/4 AF-S VR lens is extremely interesting. Simply a dream lens for many nature shooters. Everything from 400mm to 16mm is now in the realms of zooms. This is the market trend. Now if an F6 or an F200 turns up soon, I might be tempted along with the 24-120 VR + the 200-400 VR lenses. Pål

I went to the site and did a computer translation of the text. The view of the back at first makes the camera look like a D100 with the optional grip but the translation describes it as a WI-FI or wireless network interface. When you look at it again you will notice a cable from the wireless adapter to the data port on the camera. What's next?

wireless connections are old hat. some cameras taking PCMCIA memory cards from a few years ago allowed wireless network cards.

I think you need a "Nikon on the Inside" sticker on your camera. No current Nikon shares shutters with a Pentax.

The Nikon F90/F90s and the Z-1/Z-1p have the same shutter from Seiko. regards Rüdiger From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >I think you need a "Nikon on the Inside" sticker on your camera. >No current Nikon shares shutters with a Pentax. > >BR > >Pål Jensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >>Maybe they use the same AF system (I do believe these patterns are patented)?

Hallo Pal, if you look at dpreview, you will see a lot of complains about the sharpness of the 24-120 VR. Here is an example, which is realy bad http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1030&message=5631460 regards Rüdiger >From Pål Jensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Now if an F6 or an F200 turns up soon, I might be tempted along with the 24-120 VR + the 200-400 VR lenses. > >

With 802.11b wireless it is perfect for event photography where prints are done on location (like our PDML member who does horse shows).

Only thing is the 1/250 flash.I have 1/500 on the D1 and it still gives a bit of motion blurr,but that also can be good. Pentax 6x7 and Nikon 35mm(ish)digital may be the way to go,keeping the SP500 for IR and the SP for film.Hummm. Dave
