French word “profondeur” is depth. So it could also be interpreted as, 25MP revised in “depth”. 16 bit?

I cannot find anything on Nikon France web site and I am getting conflicting reports – so did they have a press conference on Sept 3rd or not?

THIS is out of topic but:
- did someone hear about any DSLR between D300 and D700 ?
- And between D700 and D3 ?

Any specs, more than guessing ?

Thanks

This was a valid rumor – that’s why it got reported. I would never buy from such a retailer (their web site looks shady), so I am not sure if the traffic they get really will bring them any sales.

An announcement of a D3x at Photokina would not have been all that surprising, given Sony's new sensor. To call the same camera a D4 seems mainly a marketing decision, although they could have thrown in some new electronics.

How much time elapsed between the D3 and the D300? A 16MP+ D400 with the same or better noise/ISO specs (to blow away the Canon 5D) seems possible by spring or even the end of the year, now that the D90 is out. Would Nikon leave the D700 at 12.2MP for a while?

I am not concerned about the look or poor French (worse than mine!) in the posted ad. Someone, certainly not a native French speaker, is trying to drum up business and reputation in a soft economy by letting the cat out of the bag early.

Nikon France did make a press conference, and communicated agressively about it like “you really really should attend THAT press conference”.

What did they actually say: “we’re working very hard, just wait”

Looks like they also read Nikonrumors.com and they want to get trafic from the buzz around here…

The site does not inspire confidence.
But your comments are more reasonable

Maybe your are right.

But it would be a pitty (if not a pain..) to have many lenses and being not able to use them in a new Nikon Digital Camera.

That would imply a new line of cameras/lenses...

Too expensive for too many pros & people

I wonder if upcoming FX format DSLRs will have Movie mode too (improved, hopefully)

- AND I REALLY would like a Firmware update (if possible) to IMPROVE the NIKON D90 Movie SOUND capturing (11Khz is TOO Poor..)
Could Nikon do that firmware update ?

Yes it looks like BS, BUT what if there is some truth: it is 25MP (give or take) and the pixel densitiy is the same as on the D3 (give or take) that would make a big sensor. Wouldn't that be BIG news, so so BIG they could hardly tell??? It would be uber-full frame format.

Yes but the current lenes are not calculated for this image diameter, you say?

True but how many new super duper lenses are expected for Photokina? That would be a reason to replace the already existing 50 1.4 / 85. 1.4 / .. wouldn't it?

Man, that would be so BIG!

or maybe YOU are just desperate for traffic?

Anyone can put such a "preorder" on any site !

It's just a matter of rumor roll-on game

When I placed a pre-order on the D700, I was pretty shure to have a camera at the end of july
Whith such a game, no one has even a date, or a spec to rely on.
anyone willing to gamble for 6kEuros around ?
BS, nothing else

It’s actually an effective web marketing ploy… 1000s of people are now aware that this obscure dealer actually exists. Not bad.

Or this could be the gapless design we have seen this summer (was it canon ?).

Hi, if I do not get lost with my school French, they say that product is to be announced at Photokina. The photo is not from real product and one cannot contract against given price. Product is cataloged since August 24th, 2007(sic!). – Think what You want. – JS

Or you arrange the photosites not side by side, but on top of each other (read: 8.5 MP RGB sensor). Unlikely, though.

mmh they already did it with the D3x, and it seems that the page has just been updated with D4 instead of D3x
