From dpreview:
“My dealer says they cannot buy the 70-200mm 2.8 VR from Nikon anymore.”
The Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G lens is probably the most speculated lens in the whole Nikon product line.
Can someone confirm this report?
I am not sure why the Nikon D3000 lenstip page was removed - here is the Nikon D3000/D5000 comparison image for the readers that missed it yesterday:
Lenstip.com got their hands on a Nikon D3000 picture:
Check their site for a detailed comaprisson with the D5000 and a D3000/D5000 overlay. It seems that the video-less version of the Nikon D5000 will be called D3000 and not D4000 as speculated earlier.
The D3000 will be the new entry level DLSR from Nikon.
no idea if this is real or fake

A feature film shot entirely on the Nikon D90 has been completed, and is in the process of being released (all this could be a prank, I don’t know at that point):
'Reverie' (83 Min.) starring Zach Sanchez (who played in 'World's Greatest Dad' with Robin Williams, written by Bobcat Goldthwait)

From the email I received:
The filmmakers are currently in talks with Distributor Claudia Mammana (Platoon, Wharlock) for securing a proper distribution company for the film, through associates such as Arnold Kopelson (The Fugitive, Seven), and Antonio Llorens. As well, the producers are currently pursuing the endorsement of Nikon, and are in very early discussions with the company regarding future marketing involving the film & the camera, as a showcase of how the Nikon D90 made the film what it is, and what it means to other independent filmmakers on the horizon.
More info on this movie:
“The information I have gathered from studying the D90 and its competitors have proven to me that the D90 far surpasses the full frame Canon EOS 5D Mark II, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1, and even Red’s Scarlet (based on what information has been released), which sits outside of the Digital SLR camera type and is made specifically for Cinematography.”
After my post yesterday I received multiple tips and some blurry images of a Nikon point and shoot camera with a built-in projector. This time I will not post the pictures (don’t ask me why), but I can assure you that I can clearly see a “projector” button on the camera and an extra opening/lens on the front for the actual projector. The pictures do not appear to be photoshopped. The camera looks really small and I still wonder how they were able to include a projector in it (probably using LED technology) - this is why I did not believe the initial tip. The projector probably will be usable only for short distances. For comparison, here are some images of a portable projector for the iPhone released just few days ago (640×480 resolution, recommend distance 40 inches, 10 lumens):

Who cares about another Nikon p&s? Probably nobody here, but this rumor tells us that Nikon “still got it” and even as a big/old/traditional company, they can still innovate and implement “world’s first” ideas. I hope there will be similar surprises in the DSLR and lenses area this year. The bad news is that one of the two scheduled Nikon press-conferences will probably be for point and shoot camera(s).
Nikon compact camera with built-in projector NR probability rating: 95% (95% because even after I’ve seen the pictures, I still cannot believe they can fit a projector in a p&s camera).
