So, genau so wünsche ich mir eine Produktstrategie.

Ich helle das noch einmal ein wenig auf mit den Kommentaren von Mr. Hogan on DPREVIEW:

The D50 name was registered with the US trademark office in early February.

Likely translation: it isn't in the pipeline yet. Nikon's lens team works on about six lenses a year and it takes about three years for a lens to go from idea to launch (i.e. 18 lenses in progress at any time, not all of which make it to market). Thus, if it isn't already in progress, it could be three years out. However, I'll take whatever news I can get here. The number one lens I'm looking for is a wide PC/shift for digital.

No one's ever (successfully) argued that they haven't. But that's a sleight of hand argument from Nikon. Many people want full frame for reasons other than high quality (that's not to say that it shouldn't be high quality, but that high quality isn't necessarily the thing that makes someone ask for full frame).

Yep. I think this is basically correct, though we could argue about the 10 year time frame. Whether it's 8 or 10 or even 16 years, the cost advantages of APS size are compelling AS LONG AS image quality issues continue to improve. I think the D2x proves that there's still quality and pixels to be squeezed out of APS. Some day we'll see that the sensor isn't improving, and that'll be the day that APS size starts to go on the watch list. Much like single core CPUs appear to be maxing out and we're seeing a switch to multicore.
> - Nikon will capture 40% of world wide DSLR market.
I think that's unlikely, though it'll depend upon the features and price of the D50 since the vast majority of the market volume is at the low end. My estimate would be closer to 30%, but Tomino-san is in a better position than I to judge what a D50 might be like ;~).
