    Wow! I wonder if that will drop the price of the Nikon D2X, which is currently about $4500. And not full frame.

    I wonder what announcements, if any, Nikon will make at the upcoming Photokina 2005 show.

    It's been hinted that I should hold off any Nikon purchases for a while--at least until Nikon responds.

    The local Nikon rep said "for Christmas." But Nikon has missed for Christmas many times before.

    That's still pretty steep, even for a tax write-off. I'm still waiting for Nikon's response.

    Even if a Nikon D2X drops, I'll still have the dilemma of buying lenses that can exploit its capabilities. The 12-24 may be the best for those lengths; the 24-85 ED may be OK; I don't shoot mcuh with the 70-300 except when I'm "hunting" wildlife. But none of them are pro lenses.

    Ah, decisions, decisions!

    Not cheap...

    Also, since I just ponied up for a 17-85 EF-S lens, I have to bear in mind that it will NOT work with the full frame 5D...

    Oh well... :rolleyes:

    The 10-20 is nice.... I think Canon already has something similar.

    Canon has the 10-20; Nikon has the 12-24. Both are great lenses. I have the Nikon. The Canon has a 35mm film equivlaent of 16-32mm; the Nikon an equivalent of 18-36mm.
