Svirrer rumors about an upcoming MX format from Nikon. One could suggest that it is true. Anyway, the press bid to court with a fashion photographer Wednesday 22 October.
Engentlig there are two things. Either an MX format as the big brother to the FX format. So larger than full frame. But there may also be an upgrade of the D3 to D3x – with a sensor with 25 million pixels.
Either way, is the waiting end Wednesday 22 October. Since the Nikon is ready to be unveiled by the model in question. There is just tikket an invitation to the press in the door which reads as follows:
“Nikon now launching a new product, which will run until Wednesday 22 October in Steen Evald photo studio. The strategy of making all Danes – all from the Coolpix users to fashion photographers – to better photographers is also evident with the launch of this new product.
World news launched on 22 October in the well-known fashion photographer Steen Evald studio in Copenhagen. Steen Evald is one of Denmark’s best photographers. He has taken pictures of everything from King Hall to the famous Danes as Cecilie Frøkjær, Casper Christensen, Jarl Friis-Mikkelsen Morten resen and many others. Nikon product specialist Thomas Lorenzen will introduce the new product for selected Nikon partners and the press. “
We estimate a brand new camera with a number of megapixels on the other side of 30 …

hm… Couldnt it just be the printer that Rockwell was talking about….?
“From coolpix users……” if its the MX doesnt it sound to be out of the coolpix groups pricerange and intrest?
What if the M in MX stands for mini? like the Olympus Micro 4/3rds, just a wild stab in the dark.
I’m on the Nikon Denmark press invitation list and got the invitation a few hours ago. It honestly doesn’t sound like the launch of a 30+ megapixel camera in my ears…
The intro reads “The strategy aiming at making all Danes – from CoolPix-users to fashion photographers – better photographers also shines through in this new product.”
Not exactly oozing of high-end, is it?
But, never say never. Could be that Nikon has something big up their sleeves.

I bet on MX.
Good point
mini sensor with BIG pixel-density
big hit in the megapixel race I guess…
But not what I’m lloking for.
I wish they offeres a FX-D80/90 with great s/n-ratio and high dynamic range
No MX or D3x, none of these would do anything to improve a ‘Coopix user’.
No printer either, a printer won’t improve your photography.
My info is a software suite that aims to get ‘amateurs’ ‘pro’ results, an automatic PP program with presets like ‘beach’, ‘portrait’, ‘landscape’ etc. combined with dust removal, auto red eye and whatever else you can think of.
Say a step between Capture NX and NikonView.
How boring (compared to a D3X)…
$50 says it’s a rumor. nikon don’t stay quiet until one weird random day and say “oh! we’ll announce something next week on the 22nd!”
joseph, my brother, says nikon is already done with DSLR market for the rest of the year then starts again next year. his words, “MX” doesn’t exist and D3X prototype is still around…
“making all Danes – all from the Coolpix users to fashion photographers – to better photographers is also evident with the launch of this new product.”
Anybody think maybe another flash to replace the recently discontinued SB-800? We know from the statement that it has to be a product usable with Coolpix and SLR’s, a new speedlight fits the bill.
This would also make sense going along with the hideous “Look Good In Pictures” sessions Nikon started.
I’ll get one!
I like this person!
Jesus, what about our dslr LENS? i am fed up with the new 50.4!!
lol, I agree, just new software would be “boring”, and even a flash unit too
Discontinued SB-800? Did I miss it being discontinued?
I’m sure it’s true ! It’s my birthday on the 22nd
It’s a new camera bag.
“My info is a software suite that aims to get ‘amateurs’ ‘pro’ results, an automatic PP program with presets like ‘beach’, ‘portrait’, ‘landscape’ etc. combined with dust removal, auto red eye and whatever else you can think of.”
IMHO the most plausible explanation yet.
Lol, or maybe a new strap with the logo of a future DSLR model
Yep, sounds the most plausable, but I hope he’s wrong!
An updated D60 with D90 sensor (live view, sensor cleaning, etc)? Not what I’m necassarily looking for…
What would they call it? They already have a D70 (if it is an upgraded consumer cam)
nikon sent me a invitation to this conference and a old friend of mine sayd me that they will launce a new Dslr camera that is a improve of the D700 the camera will have a sensor of 24millions pixels and other stuffs and will have also a toaster programe that if you have a piece of bread you can put the bread side by side the slot card and make you a nice toast…. there will be also a butter acessorie that is mounted in stead of a flash acessorie now you can thake some photographies in the morning and eat some toasts with butter… nice one nikon
But what if your a Jam kinda guy?!

Sorry, there is no D3x or MX beeing presented at the 22nd. It’s something completely different.
What is it Carl?
Best Buy has been selling their SB-800 stock for less than $200 in some locations. This was few weeks ago – they are gone by now.
Good point – this is why I post the official Nikon news – sometimes they may reveal some hints…
I am waiting on the Nikon F7 picture….
They’re presenting Monty Python? Awesome!
Yes, It’s a new cam with more than 20 MP, but no MX! MX for next year.
I can’ talk to you guys, coz I have some agreement with them.
But sure, it’s gonna make people who have plan to buy 5D MII spechless…
And just wait until the BIG coming in next year!
Woooooowwwwwww!
I just can’t believe it!
But if it’s really true, salute for Nikon! You’ve made big revolution!
What is it going to be on October 22nd?
This is what I am getting through the grapevine for the October 22nd release:A new Software suite, something in between NikonView and Capture NX2, in between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. An advanced suite, that will take into account your ‘program’ setting on your Coolpix or low-end DSLR when processing pictures – something that so far no one does… It notices the camera presets and post-processes accordingly, giving you superior end results, making your results look more ‘pro’. This may be related to this recent and official Nikon news.There may be an OEM Nikon badged HP printer too, but no more …

Could it be a sensor stabilisation system? Sony makes this already and Canon hasn’t got it. And Nikon has “sony-connection” when it comes to sensors. It would be an advantage for all shooters – even those non-Danes
One more idea which is more “far out” – but maybe in the BIG announcement, related to the “upside-down” CMOS technology patented by sony which makes it possible to reach better area coverage and more pixcel integrated transistors (for different uses):
It could for excample be a no shutter camera – a transistor build into each pixel turns that pixel on and off individually (for precise exposure in individual pixels and super rapid frame rates and no shutter wear). Hey – that would be BIG…
