ahaha, my friend working in Nikon refuse to tell me anything about this! (Even if he tell me i cant tell anyone, HAha!)
But he's not telling me anything.
Just told me Nikon is going to announce something soon, let's wait. It might be this, or might be some other items. But what we can expect is something new soon!
Your friend will put his job on the line if he told you anything.
If you're a good friend, you shouldn't pressure him to do it.
