Spreading rumors should help that “more people to be so curios and buy the Nikon so my job gets more longer”.

Now you say that Sendai isn’t even a Japanese native speaker. <br /><br />Beside Sendai’s statements there is still the fact that WPPI and Nikon have pre-announced something “Big” six months in advance. This is quite unusual. It has to be a product as the ad says “what WPPI and Nikon have in store for Feb 09”. It could be a piece of software (Nikon Capture NX 2, special issue for wedding photographers) or a piece of hardware. If it will be hardware, it could be either the D3x/D4 or the modular cam. There has been gossip about both models.<br /><br />Worst case: in February, WPPI and Nikon will not have anything else in store than the tickets for the March event. I assume you are right.
