Is the D90 dead??

[maccaroneski]

no one has send me their obsolete d90/700 yet... mustn't be that obsolete hey?

David I have sent you all of the D90s that I own that don't currently do the job for me

I was just going to start a new thread but I like this one.

Other than all the fancy buttons on the body is there really much of a difference between the D90 and D5000? On paper they both seem extremely similar. Of course until they discontinue the D90 and it suffers from pixel degeneration. Then the D5000 might reign supreme.

Wouldn't the nikon pixies be nixies?

No. They are called pixies because they fix pixels.

Man get with the program

amusing thread guys. Some of yous have a pretty good sense of humour. Now, you must decide for me.....wait 10 years until a really better camera appears, send my D80 in to get a turbo fitted or get my old pentax slr out and...nah, don`t think so. Looks like 10 yrs wait.....

now seriously....I love my D80 but I want more 300s type features. I don`t think I really need them though to be a better tog. I just want much better iso performance without going full frame and having to sell/buy other lenses....you all know the story.

No, you could cut the wait to nothing: the best camera is always announced just after you buy your next camera. Anyway, I am sure you will be able to recycle some of the obsoleted d90 pixels into your d80. Ving and Calx should be able to help you glue them in.
