D300 to be discontinued soon?

Nikon Store in Sweden is no longer showing the D300 or D60, so their current line up is :
  • D5000
  • D90
  • D700
  • D3
  • D3x

So a clear gap between the D90 and D700, and is the D5000 now really their entry model? Or should we expect a D1000 anytime soon?

Either way I wish they'd hurry up with the D400 or D700x !!

I just hope a D400 or D700x comes out real soon, I miss not being able to go out an about and while the D40 is great it just doesn't feel the same anymore

Re: D300 to be discontinued soon?

Aww that is what happens when you sell a great camera, and don't replace it straightaway

Maybe you should look at Canon?

Re: D300 to be discontinued soon?

I'm getting tired of my kits being obsolete in under two years. My D40X is now a white elephant.

Re: D300 to be discontinued soon?

But isn't the advancement in technology exciting Bob? Just look at the ISO performance on your D90, compared to the D40

I hope the next gen goes even further - but then I've always been a bit of a tech geek

Re: D300 to be discontinued soon?

Technology is fine to the point that it is useful, ISO, will we find cameras with 12800 and if so what for surely 6400 is enough for anyone. I rarely have use for anything above 400 and if I do 1600 is plenty. What is this urge to take shots in the dark?
