![]() ![]() Three ED glass elements ensure high optical performance and high contrast even at maximum aperture. ![]() VR for the viewfinder is cancelable to conserve battery power. ![]() VR is automatically detected during panning with two modes of VR: Image plane and Viewfinder. VR operation offers the equivalent of a shutter speed three stops (eight times) faster. The Nikon 80-400mm F4.5-5.6D ED VR AF is a compact, lightweight 5x telephoto zoom lens with image stabilization. They push the edge of the lens-making in their effort to the "glass" that enables the world's greatest images.ĪF-Nikkor lens with Nikon SLRs for optimal performance, even the most recent. Which is, incidentally, quite old now, if we're talking "bodies due a replacement" should Nikon replace the D610, I'll be interested to see if they go up (better AF, closer to the D750) or down (pentamirror, no AF motor, cheaper) in positioning.Lens-making is an art - Nikon artisans craft Nikkor optics from the finest materials that bring pride to their understanding of technology and the addition of slower world to life. Should something DX and above the D7200 appear, I'd vaguely expect it to be priced highly enough not to compete with the D7200 - but then I don't believe the sensor is the primary defining feature of a camera, especially in DX, and nor do I believe that DX is only a budget alternative to FX, so I seem to have less aversion than most to a professional DX body that costs more than, say, the D610. Even if I were, I'd probably expect the Christmas rush to get out of the way before Nikon rolls out anything new, and the 2016 Olympics suggests that the D4s replacement is probably on the horizon. There is a very tiny chance that Nikon might respond to the 7D2, but then we've been talking about a D300s (or possibly D2x) successor since the D800 came out, if not before, so I'm not holding my breath. If a price drop on the D7200 is indicative of anything about Nikon's product plans, I strongly doubt it'll be a replacement for the D7200, which I believe is reasonably well-received and is certainly very recent. I think that asks us to provide store links, rather than name store names. Of note: I have not read the fine print in these adds. ![]() My question is, do you think this may indicate that Nikon "may" be close to releasing a replacement? Why are the prices dropping so much in the past 14 days?Īny thoughts about the advertising in the following 4 links are appreciated. Two months ago all of the on-line prices were very similar ($1,250). To my surprise, when I went on line I came up with prices that were quite varied. I am close to replacing my D300 and will most likely go with a D7200. ![]()
