Nikon D2x - it's official

Since you're all asleep, I figure I'll do the generous thing:
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0409/04091605nikond2x.asp

1.5x crop - whatever, follows what Nikon said they would do.
Interesting to see if they keep the noise down and what the Canon
response will be.

I think it's stupid that to shoot faster the focal length is changed for
you... How smart.

It's a gimmick, certainly. Nikon shouldn't bet money on it being a big
selling point, it might be nice to have but it isn't a deal breaker
feature.

I think you might have misunderstood the purpose of this feature or
why it is necessary. Sounds like a great idea to me if you're into
landscape *and* sports photgraphy.

Cool Graham but what if you like fixed focal lengths?

2x crop for landscape ? a big no no !

we will then need a 10mm DX lens to be able to re-create 20mm 35mm view

for sports .. yes please !! 400mm - 800mm .. nice !

It's interesting to think about how this pushes lens development in a
different direction. The 5.5 um sensel spacing will challenge many
existing lenses, but the smaller sensor reduces angle-of-incidence
problems and reduces the image circle demanded.
