The variables my V ND add I bet you couldn’t notice side by side. Missed shot opportunity, situation dictates, I wouldn’t be trying to screw on and off my V ND during a journalistic shoot, but if I’m posing, yeah I have time to “slap” it on. None the less have your gear setup before the shoot so you don’t have a missed opportunity. Expensive piece, it is, but something I like having in my bag, and very necessary when doing strobist work with sync speeds of 1/200. Allows me to shoot at shallow DOF while sync at 1/200 (sky looks real nice for portraits). Just trying to suggest other options, there is no wrong or right answer for every situation. Wouldn’t need to stack either at…. You know what NVM

It’s going to further stratify the pro-sumer market. But I think this is still out of the budget of enthusiasts (considering lens buy in price). It’s a little regressive with the FP sync speed and Shutter speed, with respect to the D7000. In their goal to handicap this camera to create enough variation between models, they’ve put prospective DX up-graders in a difficult position. ie… moving up in Resolution, and dynamic range but giving up some useful features that one may use professionally.

A variable ND is an expensive addon that brings you closer to the D800 price point. And even slapping a regular Nd filter (stacking) is adding more variables to picture quality. Furthermore, take into account that there will be missed shot opportunities because one has to attach something to the lens. Finally, it also means that one will need an nd filter solution for all their lenses.

did a neighbor’s 2 y/o taught you logic? following your faulty logic, D300 was released a year before D90, so “your argument is invalid”.

In all my experience, most semi-pros (prosumer markert) chose D[2|3]]00 lineup and then D7000, as these were/are the top-of-the-line DX cameras.

the best of new cameras, is the fact that they make older cameras more affordable…
hope to see the price of the d7000 going down.

Start using ND filters. Throw a Variable ND on there and you should be fine.

maybe it’s a typo and they meant 1/2000th ;) – now THAT would be a dream :D

For those interested in this camera – in addition to the specs it has – it’s worth finding out what it DOESN’T have e.g. notice PC-synch, and remote connectors are missing.

(Think it has IR as my old D70)

The lastest Nikon Rumors post has the likely price above $2K – very disappointing after all the scuttlebutt about $1600 – 1800.

This! I shoot a lot of skateboarding with multiple strobes, often in the day, and the higher flash sync out of the box, the better.

I DO use the new Pocketwizards for hypersync with my D3S, but having a lower normal flash sync can’t mean good things for its hypersync potential.

This has changed it from an automatic order to a ‘wait and see’, which is a bit frustrating as I’m sure the availability will be crap (same as the D800) to start with.
