I might as well forget about new DSLR products and technologies from Nikon
https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTOE63I07820100419
according to new Nikon President,
“Nikon’s imaging business has been expanding quite steadily over the past 10 years. ‘But can it enjoy the same stable growth for the next 10 years? The answer is no,'” Kimura told a news conference in Tokyo.
“Growth for existing digital camera products will inevitably slow and they are set to move into a phase of saturation. I intend to keep dialogue open for everyone to decide what we should do to achieve further growth despite this trend.”
too bad for Nikon shooters like me. The call of CANON is getting stronger by the day.

I shoot Nikon for my still photography business, but I bought a Canon D7 system for video. I couldn’t wait any longer for Nikon. Nikon seem to build their cameras for either press or sports photographers.
720p is more than enough for a reporter to take still photographs and then post a clip on the newspapers website.

the 7d is exactly what I’m eyeing of the Canon lot, good for video? can get that film like grain/feel? I’ll check out your 7d blog, too.

If you have the budget, get the 5D. Full sensor, new upgraded firmware gives you audio control, 24p, etc.
Wow, I would fire the Nikon CEO. He has no vision and has told the world, “I give up.” Sounds like they need new leadership.
