    F85 or F95 coming out?

    I have a F65, and am thinking of upgrading to F80. But upon seeing that the price of F75 is much cheaper than F65 (which is quite a mystery to me) on the nikon sg website, I'm having second thoughts. I would very much like a vertical grip with shutter release, which F75 has, but the F80...

    Using velvia in winter/autumn?

    Anyone went to shoot the thing?

What's more, they have to put back the 163 lamp-posts, two bus posts, two bus shelters...

    Successor for F90X

    Was just wondering, actually drooling ;p about equipment. Most probably I'm gonna upgrade from my F65 in a few years time, F80 is great but... if there's a successor to F90X by that time, why not? So my question is when would its successor will be out in the market? :devil:
