D800 and D4..coming this SEPT 2011

[Andy Ang]

Frankly, I cannot wait for more launches at lower prices.

Can't wait for the day to grab a used D3 at sub-$1000 price!

 

[EddyKoh]

I went to a cam shop to ask about the D700.. He told me to wait cos there's a good chance of a D800 soon.. So.. If it is in september.. then YAHOO!!!

 

[Jeremy1]

Will be happy if the new D800 sensor is a great improvement. I don't mind they are using the D3s sensor.

I then can pumped the ISO to 6400 with no noise.

You may be right. They may avoid the '4' as the Japs are also superstitious people.

Nikon rep: two DSLRs will be announced by the end of August

ere is what the Nikon rep said: “Two new FX bodies will be announced by the end of August. Availability in Fall.”

They told us that most of the machines have been moved to a new plant in Malaysia and most of the employees have been moved as well with some monetary compensation. Then, some photo slides of the Malaysian plant have been shown. The new facility is already producing cameras and lenses. Expect to see “Made in Malaysia” Nikon product very soon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_in_Chinese_culture

extract:

Unlucky numbers

Four
Main article: Tetraphobia

Number 4 (四; accounting 肆; pinyin sì) is considered an unlucky number in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese cultures because it is nearly homophonous to the word "death" (死 pinyin s&#464. Due to that, many numbered product lines skip the "4": e.g. Nokia cell phones (there is no series beginning with a 4),[6] Palm[citation needed] PDAs, Canon PowerShot G's series (after G3 goes G5), etc

Becos of the Chinese boy band? haha
As a matter of fact, a lot of Chinese idioms and way of describing the world uses 4. Like seasons, directions, tune of words (hanyu pingyin), bad habits, etc. Even idioms are in 4 characters!

SG might have an earlier receive of the product if the production is done in MY, which I do hope this is true.
