Do you want a Nikon Full Frame DSLR?

If money is no issue, would you want a Nikon FF DSLR?

Am I the first to respond?

Nope. I think the 1.5 times crop factor is a plus. Many manufacturers leverage on this advantage.

Not for me, cause I have no need for FF. I also think the 1.5 crop factor is a good, cause my 70 - 300mm lens now can reach 450mm...

No wide angle lovers here?

Maybe Nikon should R&D for Digital Back, 1 stone kills many birds.

the only downside of APS is on the WA side,
but I think that the range have alredy been met with the 10.5mm FE and 12-24mm.

a plus would be that my teles now have a longer reach
and the sensor now uses the best part of the lens, the centre.

the next step would be Medium format.

like the leica?

tried the 12-24 on my f80, the wider side is not useful at all (overly distorted, very limited usage)... crop factor gives more reach, more 'options' for long lens

A big downside for the things I shoot. Do note that the DX WA zoom will never be able to provide the distortion control that a non-DX longer focal length zoom can. The 10.5 is a non-rectilinear and you are essentially "zooming" into the center of the pix for a usable image.

[eikin]

on second thought ... why not? putting a FF DSLR in the market might probably trigger a price drop in the non-FF DSLRs

i don't think the only downside is the WA. it's also the DOF, the perspective, the lenses available.

[kahheng]

Oh yes I do. If just to provide competition in the FF market, absolutely yes. It will help to speed up innovation and bring down prices even more.

I am a tele lover at the moment..
But will consider if I got the money..

yup, for me it wll be the DOF and perspective. WA is not an issue with 12-24mm lenses available.

[ortega]

if money was not an issue, why consider 35mm SLR at all.

[benedium]

If money not an issue, everyone should have one full frame body for wide angle usage and one 1.5x for telephoto nature or sports with extra fast focussing. Perfect for wedding/event photographers who prefer to work with two cameras.

Can the money be used to upgrade computer also? If can, I want.

Else...don't want

[mpenza]
