I think ALL DSLR mfgrs are going to offer some or at least one high end FF models eventually, its only a matter of time. Increasing the sensor size is the only really significant way left to increase PQ markedly. jco

And that would be a MAJOR change for Nikon, who's never used a non-Nikon designed sensor in a single-digit body. Frankly, I doubt we'll see it in the D3x. We may see it in the FF version of the D300 that's rumoured though. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
