I can say first hand Nikon has nailed the noise control problem. Shot several 6400 this afternoon with the D3. Looked like the D2xs at 1600 maybe 800 I might be jumping the gun as these were all LCD images nothing on computer, but wow it was nice. Then new 24-70mm is a nice lens. And FF was like a breath of fresh air.
Thanks for info. Now when we know how poor is 1Ds3 ISO-performance, are there any D3 samples to look at? Couldn't find any official sample at NIkon site.

I am also a Canon user, and these are great news for everybody! Nikon still needs to bring something to compete with the 5D, awesome IQ at a decent price! I am curious to see how the D300 will perform with 12Mpix in a cropped sensor.

Man I want one of those D3's... Why is it everytime I purchase something new, a better motel comes out? For example, I bought my D200 about 3 months ago. Now the D300 comes out...
Hey, I bought my D200 3 weeks ago...
Now I have to spend weeks convincing myself that I wouldn't have bought the D300 anyway.

The camera or the new lenses, oh sh*t I don't have enough money for both! The D300 sounds wonderful, but the D3, man oh man, I want one! Nikon has scored! I think that the 14-24, and 24-70mm are my first "must gets". Camera bodies come and go, but good glass is forever.

For all you Aussie Nikon shooters, some bad news!
Someone on another forum said they where talking to Nikon Australia today, and the D300 won't be available in Australia for 6 months? (Don't know if thats the case or not).
The expected price is going to be around $2599 (Au$).
Looks like you will need to find a grey importer to supply you with your D300. No news about the D3.
Seems silly for Nikon Australia not to release the camera here for 6 months after it hits the market worldwide!?

The camera will only be released in November and they're going to dribble into distribution worldwide; 6 months from today to wide availability is probably a reasonable (though a bit over-conservative) estimate.

I can't believe nobody has said yet that they are "chuffed!" Is anyone chuffed? I'm chuffed! I will most definitely be upgrading my already excellent and capable D200 to a D300 this winter!

Thank you in advance for any links.

We have but none that we are able to provide at this time. One word though, impressive.
So much so that since i currently shoot 30D 24-70 f/2.8L, 70-200mm f/4L and 135 f/2L all gear obtained prior to working for Nikon. That I'm considering the switch to a D3 with the new 24-70mm f/2.8 and some other lenses.

I think I'm "chuffed" - how would I know for sure?

Nikons not done yet. It gets better.
Yes Jay, join the darkside!
BTW, what do you mean "not done yet" Is there more that they haven't announced?
That 14-200 at constant f/2.8 for FF is some range aint it?

I really couldnt even say After hands on its hard to not want to switch but I couldn't even sell all my gear and afford the D3. If I could swap all my gear for D3 and the 24-70mm its hard not to say yes.

I thought just a week ago canon fans were saying the 1dIII put the final nail in the nikon coffin.
Is there more that they haven't announced?
