The D300 is a $1600 body. I thought "advanced" would be a good word to describe it. The person above you says the D300 is in the pro range. And I know pros who use a D300. So, I was mistaken. Actually, the D300 is a PRO camera... despite having a frame smaller than 35mm.]]>Jun 25th 2008 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Jun 25th 2008 9:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/]]>Jun 25th 2008 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/
@wickedtings: Getty Images (arguably the biggest stock photo supplier in the world) accepts images taken from the 30D, a DSLR with a 1.6x sensor size, so I'll respectfully disagree that 35mm is the smallest acceptable frame a pro could work with. Again, it's not the camera, but the photographer.]]>Jun 25th 2008 11:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Jun 26th 2008 2:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Maybe a size more comparable to my mouse would be good...]]>Jun 25th 2008 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Jun 25th 2008 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Jun 25th 2008 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Jun 25th 2008 7:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Jun 25th 2008 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Jun 25th 2008 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Jun 25th 2008 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Jun 25th 2008 9:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Jun 25th 2008 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Jun 25th 2008 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Jun 25th 2008 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/
This would make sense since it is a full frame sensor camera.

On the other hand, a person that's not supposed to have access to such camera would likely have to resort to using their cell phone camera because if they are anywhere in the area they are either working (in non photo related job, such as catering, cleaning etc.) or would have had to surrender their gear when passing through the gates.]]>Jun 26th 2008 6:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Jun 25th 2008 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Jun 25th 2008 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Jun 25th 2008 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://asia.cnet.com/2008/06/19/nikon-s-mid-range-full-frame-dslr/?scid=rss_c_crv ]]>Jun 25th 2008 10:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/Jun 26th 2008 6:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/nikon-d700-spy-shots-and-info-piling-up/to say that you need a minimum of a 35mm sized chip to be a 'professional'.
wickedtings is nothing more than a prosumer with a few too many dollars to spend at his local Ritz Camera.
i shoot professionally (yes- the true meaning of that word- i get paid)
and with a D300 included in my camera bag.
no one needs an FX chip unless you're shooting high ISO and need it to discourage pixel noise.

do what the pros do: get yourself as good a digital body you can afford and a GREAT lens - go into debt if need be!
it will make all the difference.

oh, and BTW, my money is on total fake.

The strap is probably from a D70 and just moved so you can't see if it says 70 or 700.

Either way I really do hope they come out with a FX consumer grade camera. The idea of it being called the D10 is a lot more credible, especially when you consider the rigid Nikon naming scheme for their products and the release of the MB-D10 with the D300.
