    You are right Cheung. The 28-70mm is already discontinued. However you might be able to get them at 2nd hand shops.

    Had a serious problem this weekend. Somebody let me try out their 1D Mark IIn. We were at a little match and swopping cameras. I just got totally blown away using the 1D. You see moment, then it really does get captured like you saw it. Had to hand it back, I didn't even put my own CF card in to get the pictures back. Ugh. What a terrible experience. Makes me want to feel a 1D in my hands again:crying:

    treat urself to a new camera while you recover from ankle injury. u will forget about the ankle the moment you open your brand new toy.

    I have requirements as well. Like 10fps and ISO6400. Too bad there's no camera on the market with that combo for me to buy tomorrow.;)

    Saw a website that says it's selling for 31,500HKD. That's cheaper than the Mark IIn. Looks like a good deal to me, if..........

    How about a LOT less noise than any other dSLR on the market? Initial reports are claiming that conservatively there's a 2-3 stop advantage so ISO 3200 is like ISO 800 on other cameras, and ISO 800 is like ISO 200!

    the scary part is that when that technology is trickled down to the mid-range camera. that will kill off Nikon for sure. imagine the 40D's ISO3200 looks like the D200's ISO800. i am switching over for sure.
