You might be right; but we're talking about a fairly light, fairly small (but good quality) consumer/prosumer zoom versus a big, heavy pro lens. In and of itself, the weight difference might be enough to differentiate between the two from a consumer point of view.
Yeah, but I doubt it will be a 24-85 f2.8-4. I say just improve on the optical quality of the 24-120.
Indeed, hopefully we will get the F100 of the FX digital world soon.
Here's yet another image - from Fredmiranda.com.
As near as I can tell, rumors are heating up that Nikon will begin a series of rollouts beginning July 1. I keep hearing about 5 new items....the D700, the D3X, and SB-900, and a couple of new lenses. Looking like the D700 is going to be at the head of the program....
Even Thom Hogan is on board with the July 1 prediction.

So I see that the corny mockup guy fixed their earlier flaws. Looks like the same photo as last time but with the correct viewfinder.
I do believe it will look much like that though. Hopefully with a good fps rate too.

The Nikon hot shoe is quite small, and certainly not the width of the FPS selector on the left of the viewfinder. He just liquified the viewfinder to make it bigger, but he forgot about the flash shoe
My D2X and D200 both have it, I think...
seriously? they've done this since the "N" film bodies. my old N90s has this, my D200 does too.

Interesting - my D70 doesn't have that, and I'd swear my friend's D100 doesn't either. The strap just says "Nikon".
Nikon has done this on and off. The D1 series has it, but the D100 and D70 and D50 don't.
The D80 and D2x/h D200 and so forth do have it. And a good deal of film bodies have it.
Both my D2H and D3 had straps like that, with the respective model numbers.

I don't even know where my straps are.
The D200 had it, the D300 has it, the D3, D2x, and D80 have it.......and I wish it didn't.
I want to know more about the SB-900. What improvements did they make to the SB-800?
Apparently some overheating cut off circuit, 17-200mm range and can adjust between the fx and dx focal length differneces, and detect what colour gels are on it too.
I'd still rather have a D3 body with the grip taken out and body reworked. Every time I look at the mockups I get a little disappointed that the body won't be a true D3 without the grip.
Nothings wrong with the D300 with D3 viewfinder and FX sensor though. But having the dual CF card slots that open from the back and not the side, and the perfection that is the D* series body type is a little upsetting. I'd pay an extra $500 for that alone.
If it's a D300, great, if it's a D3 body type even better.

Compared to most crop viewfinder, the F80 had a great viewfinder. Even my F50 had a larger viewfinder than the small Canons (not sure about the new 450D, but everything from 300 to 400D is a lot smaller, ditto for Nikon's D40-D70).
