Nikon D3 Full Frame DSLR - Live Interview with Nikon

[LEXPIX]

Long live the full frame.

[foxxieluvv]

I will have to sell my soul for this baby, but it will be worth it!

[cjgan80]

i thought the D3X was the higher end than the D3 ....

[erics1959]

@cjgan80 ......it is. D3 is a 12.4 mega pixel FX , D3X is a 24.4 mega pixel FX, its burst speed is slower because it takes longer to write/save 24 megs vs 12megs. if you shoot fashion you woulld use the D3x , sports the D3 .

[KadenGAlexandery1]

wellhm i really don't know why it's so hard to find some cool guys on you tube!

[sleeve51]

A Monstrosity. Proof there is a just God!

[Tristate1551]

The lens on the pictures is the 14-24mm 2.8, one of Nikons newest lens which is great on D3 since it's an FX format lens.

[Glapioniii]

@randyp1234567 no such animal

[wth1980]

Coolest camera on earth!

[boyblue1171]

The correct pronunciation of Nikon is "Nee-Kon." When Americans say "Nigh-Kon," that is incorrect. But just like when they pronounce Los Angeles as "Los Anjelees" instead of the correct Spanish "Los Ang-he-les," common usage rendered Nigh-Kon as acceptable. Acceptable, but not necessarily correct.

[jodellstasic]

Actually it's Nick-on, pretty close though.

[RickyTomatoes]

This camera is god of all cameras.

[GutarDrummer69]

Well if your talking about Digital SLRS than yes I would agree with you, but if we were talking about medium format film and digital camera's I would have to say Hasselblad, and if we were talking about medium format film and Digital cameras I would have to say Leica, and in terms of 35mm film SLRs The Nikon F6 reigns supreme. Just because The D3 is an EXCELLENT DSLR doesn't mean it is the greatest camera in the world.

[yasabrayoub]

what's the lens on the D3, it looks like a super wide zoom.

[noandamios]

correct phonetic pronunciation would be:

KNEE-cone.

[erictjie]

iam waiting till the price drop 30% or more, or otherwise wait till the next generation. iam still happy with my d200 atm.

[mungkey]

this camera is awesome.

[Guapwong]

Can't wait to get one 2 years from now! Hahaha, currently out of reach for me, but i'm hopeful!

[reggieschuey]

i always thought it was pronounced as nick on not nai kon? .. americans>?

[rollakid]

You're right, a2b1 is wrong.

Go to Nikon Japan site and you'll see "Kabushikigaisha Nikon" （株式会社ニコン）。

ニコン　＝　Nikon

Word by word in katakana:

二 = Ni, pronounce like "Knee" but not that long. Think of "nick" but no "ck" at the back.

コ = Ko.

ン = N.

Kon. Hard to find a perfect example, kind of in between "Con" and "Gone", the former let out too much air, and the later kind of too many "G" sound.

So, it's more like "Knekon". It's Japanese, so pronounce it Japanese way. Sounds like neko... (¯3¯)

[a2b1]

N A I K O N

[WarTTL]

I am British Army Combat photorapher and I recently shot all my work using D2Xs. I use 2 bodies and despite the dust and heat, it delivered every time. For a sample of my work please search WarTTL

[fauzimnoor]

ordered for my office

[bengreet]

No, it's not a case of potato, potato. It's a Japanese word and it is pronounced Nick-on. There is no other way to say it. You don't go out for Su-shy...you have sushi. The dude from Karate Kid was Mr Miyagi... not Mr My-a-guy.

Think about how you pronounce the letter 'i' in all the Japanese words you can think of:

Hiroshima

Nagasaki

Takahashi

Sukiyaki

etc...

The incorrect pronunciation from Americans drives me mad.

[plopilor]

Youre right! Eye-rack.I wonder how they pronounce Italy.

[goodinavacuum]

Well, the Nikon rep in the video is pronouncing it "Nai-kon" so presumably Nikon's USA branch pronounces it this way. And using your examples as a guide, wouldn't Nikon be pronounced "Nee-kon" if the letter I was always pronounced with a long E sound, like in "sushi", rather than "Nick-on", like you state?

[aronssona]

I totaly agree

[nikonanthony99]

Nikkor is the lense for Nikon camera!!!!

[ftpaddict]

Absolutely all Americans get the pronunciation of Nikon wrong.

The official representative gets it wrong as well, although he does pronounce "Nikkor" right.

[PPWarrior]

So what it is if its not nikon?

[gswarbrick]

Nick-on. Like Nick-or. I believe the Japanese pronunciation is more like Nee-Ko-En, but it certainly isn't anything like Nye-kon.

See also Eye-rack.

[macman13]

Nick-on

[funpoleece]

Potato, potato. Tomato, Tomato.

[Shutterguy]

oooooooooooh, but i can only afford the d300, which really isnt that bad! lol

[4darin5]

I will be buying the D200 for personal use, since the price will drop. I would only consider the D300 if it was full frame. Since only slight changes were made to D300, the D200 is just as good.

[markd222]

well, outside of that extra stop you get at higher ISOs.

[macman13]

liveview's pretty cool

[bzho101]

100% viewing area in the viewfinder might be worth it... i dont know.

[rovirdi]

wow, 5000 bucks is still pretty high but better than 10k :-). will wait for the D3X.

[rapeti37]

About time Nikon! My patience was growing thin, and I was so close to switching back to Canon.

[googo151]

Can't wait to get one!
