Nikon new 10.2MP DSLR
by Lilian ·
Following up from my last post about Nikon D70s dropping its prices, a few readers have told me that it could be due to Nikon soon-to-be-launched new DSLR. So, I sniff around dpreview and Nikon’s website and found this teaser ad:

And the short snip from dpreview:
Nikon Japan has today started a teaser campaign promoting a new compact 10.2 megapixel digital SLR which will be announced in 20 days, we can only guess that this would be the natural successor to the D70/D70s. The teaser gives away few details other than the fact that the camera will have 10.2 megapixels (just in case you were thinking of buying a Sony Alpha). If any other significant details come out over the next 20 days we’ll cover them.
Wow, at the rate the giants like Nikon and Sony are competing (Sony with its range of lenses and Sony Alpha 100), I hope the prices will drop ‘cos I want to buy a macro lense for my Konica. The last I checked, that macro lense from Sony (which fits my Konica-Minolta Dynax 5D) alone costs RM1,600 (and not RM600 as I earlier estimated). *sniff* I can just keep hoping, can’t I?….
