Any juicy rumours for Nikon at PMA07?

[gooseberry]

Not sure of the validity of that claim of the 35FF D3 above...

but something seems to be afoot as the D2Hs is listed as being discontinued.

Hahaha.....looks like my prediction on price came true! Remember the poll I initiated some time back?

;p

Me thinks you are jumping the gun here. Nothing is true till the camera is actually introduced (and RRP revealed). As of now (8pm, Sg time, 5 Mar 2007) it is still vapour ware.

Latest one.

"For about 30 minutes, the sales rep talked to the assembled audience about Nikon's latest offering which is to be unveiled on Monday, March 5th at PMA:

- Full Frame (no 1.1 crap) - DX mode at 1.5x - High Speed Crop - VERY fast motor drive (can't remember the number he quoted, but when he fired it, it sounded at least as fast as my F5 on CH. - 18.7 MB - MSRP $7999 - No H and X models anymore, just the one D3 - D2xs will continue to sell. - Dimensions and weight were mentioned, but I don't remember the minutae. Suffice to say, the camera looked to be roughly the same size as the D2 series."

Find out tomorrow if it is true.

Only problem with this quote is that PMA doesn't officially start till March the 8th 2007. :think:

Toss a coin - that is my answer.

50-50 to me is very disappointing; especelly with what is happening to Canon. Who knows, maybe even Pentax wud com up with one sooner -- not that it matter.

come on, Nikon !!!

Why is it disappointing?

Someone post this at other site.
Probably a hoax.

 

[Ansel]

you work for Nikon

No I don't. I even have to pay for the T-shirt.

Looks very believable to me. So far (D80 & D40) all the hoaxes proved to be not hoaxes at all.

But some people still doubt if it is a FF.

 

[scenar]

what's that "window" below the "Red arrow" ? some kinda IR sensor? looks believable...hmm

I seriously doubt Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro (who has designed most of top of the line Nikon SLRs) would allow such a monstrosity to leave his desk.
