[edit] Replacing the D2H and D2Xs?

The article states that "The D3 is the top model in Nikon's line, superseding both the D2Xs and D2H". I have read that this is primarily and photojournalist/sports photographer camera replacing the D2H, and a high res studio camera (probably called "D3X") is due next year to replace the D2Xs. They are discontinuing the D2H and are not discontinuing the D2Xs. Also, the D3, when in DX mode, is only a 5.1 MP camera, unlike the D2Xs which is a 12 MP DX camera. --rogerd 17:23, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, well I think that if Nikon had wanted this to be mainly the high-speed flagship camera, it would have been called the D3H. Also, full frame doesn't much benifit sports shooters because it forces one to use longer and slower lenses. I also feel the DX mode is a bit of a gimmick. I mean, If you can spend $6000 on a camera body, you don't want to get bad results because of cheap lenses. You might be right, but I would wait a few days until the hype slows a bit. -Fcb981^{(talk:contribs)} 03:09, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, at the moment it's superseding the D2Xs and D2Hs, that will change when the D3x is out. But OTOH its such a major step for Nikon (FX sensor) that they deceided not to add a letter like H. Just like they did with the D1 once.

[edit] Audience section

I did some editing of the "Audience" section. The grammar was horrible; it's still not very cohesive and may be trying to be too technical for its own good? 69.249.98.184 14:58, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vertical grip

The discussion of the vertical grip seems completely irrelevant to anything. Anyone disagree with removing it? Micahmedia (talk) 07:31, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
