You beat me to the question. However, for the benefit of the 95 percent of the human race that doesn’t live in North America, I had a look on Wikipedia. The answer is, unhelpfully, “Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States.”

So there you are – it’s sometime later in the year, but before December.

I understand completely – I will try to post hard dates in the future for our international readers. I am also working to make NikonRumors available in different languages.

It was more a lean on the “locally known holiday” as a date than an actual date. Just because one country has a national holiday doesn’t mean the rest of the world knows when that is. There may be more than one or a moving date (like this is). A great example is the “Queens Birthday holiday” which isn’t on the queen’s birthday and varies depending on which country your in.

Oh and thanks for to the administrator for clearing it up.

Reading his post again I think he just summarizes the existing rumors and tries promote himself and his new book which is completly viable tactic.

The only thing you can blame him for is that he does give hints what his sources are.

Why is it that this site attracts such negative and aggressive people?!?!

If you dont want to read about speculation and rumors then dont freaking read! Go search around for the rumors on your own. Ones that match your explicit definition of a rumor. Until you are ready to do that then stop being so negative and shut up. This is his / her site. Not yours… you want different information start your own!

While this Amazon blog guy seems like a wanker, I’m glad you posted it. It does reinforce the now imminent release of the D90 and feeds my lust for any D90 news even if its more or less a rehash of what we already new. The promise of a guide by Thanksgiving gives us hope of a camera before then as well.

Quote from the site:

Why no microphone? Why does the D90 logo look funny?
Because this is a simulated picture that will be replaced with
the actual product Real Soon Now. I don't need to reproduce
fake product photos from the Internet, because I am perfectly
capable of creating my own.

But more interesting:

The D60 lets you create silent stop-motion mini-movies, and that's fun, but that capability doesn't really qualify as video.

Can any D60 owner confirm that the D60 has limited video recording features?

No matter what we post there always be someone that is not going to be happy. That’s the nature of a rumor site. We still believe this info adds some more credibility to the D90 rumor – he is promising a D90 guide by Thanksgiving. It seems that people are taking the D90 as an already released model, which is not the case. If someone is promising to write a book about an unreleased, we consider this to be “rumor-news” and that’s why we report it.

Does this make sense to anyone?

D90 can’t be D300 killer… …unless (think ’bout that)
