While I don’t have nearly the skillset to fully utilize the gear, it doesn’t mean I don’t still like seeing the kit. Engadget has the details on Nikon’s new D3 and D300. The former offers a full-frame sensor (23.9 x 36 mm), 12.1 megapixels, 3″ live LCD, and HDMI out for $5000 in November. The D300 is a DX sensor-based body, 12.3 megapixels, 3″ live LCD, and $1800 in November.

A handful of lenses were announced:

• AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED
• AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
• AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8G ED VR
• AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/4G ED VR
• AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR

I recall someone betting me Nikon would not release a new DSLR before 3Q 2008. Sounds like I win that D300.
