This is in DPREVIEW today:

http://www.dpreview.com/news/0504/05040802nikondslrs.asp

It is from Ni*on UK, and it says the successor to the D70 is scheduled for the end of April. It also says they 'will be introducing' an entry-level DSLR. No firm dates, just 'information will follow'.

If Ni*on has the successor to the D70 out by the end of this month it will be a first, and who knows when you will be able to buy a new model that hasn't even been officially introduced yet. Their track record doesn't support it. . .

Have Fun,

Do they mean that the D70 is not an entry-level? How low can an entry-level be :rolleyes:

I think they are talking about the 'D50' that was leaked a week or so ago.

Well, the D70 folks need to think they are special. With something below them they will be able to brag now. :rolleyes: :lol: :lol:

This is speculative on Friday, April 8, but I just saw on another thread that the 20D will have a $100 rebate starting April 15 here in the states. If that is true it could (could, mind you) mark a new low in Ni*on marketing. Prior to Christmas 2003 they announced the D70 and didn't have it on the shelves until sometime after January. Are they now announcing new products around Canon rebates?

Curious. . .

I think the marketing people at Canon are cruel. They should introduce that rebate after Nik*n introduce the new camera.... heck, give 'em at least a week to enjoy :-P

This reminds me of something somebody said in passing. Something like Nikon is becoming the same as Panasonic, and Casio. Now that's crule, and somewhat sad.
