Well well… Then why isn’t NR shouting this on the main page?? I’d say this looks real, but I would have expected an announcement before the magazine revealed it…

The Swedish site has now been up all morning, but I cannot see any changes relative to before the site went down…

Talked with local Danish camera store which sells a lot of Nikon. The guy seemed quite confident in saying that the only thing planned for Dec.1 was a couple of low-end cams. No high end DSLR or D3x.

They probably had to take all those sites down to make sure there weren’t any stray D3x pictures on them, once naughty NikonRumors outed them on the US site…

Its a marketing conspirousy! They know we’re watching so they’re teasing us and making us hope and wait knowing then when the next big thing is announced we’ll all scream for it in a stampedous fury! Right until the moment that we’re told it wold be available till July. Then the mob will turn ugly….

I disagree.

Getting a new camera body (or lens) can transform your image making. I femember getting my D70 and how inspired I was with this new format and how my imgaes improved. And thenmoving to a D200, and how the higher requirements for sharp images honed my skills and improved my images again.

Good gear can help you improve yourself.

The UK site is back up with nothing new added. I think the outtage is more likely down to the credit crunch – companies have sacked their IT contractors, who were probably the only people skilled enough to keep the IT infrastructure up and running. With the contractors gone, the permies had to be prodded away from facebook.com to actually start doing some work, and it took them several hours of reading manuals to figure out how to fix stuff.

Googlemail had problems earlier today after lots of contractors were sacked, and my online bank is having problems too, as they were at the tail end of 2001, the last time IT contractors got the boot. My satnav speed-camera update service had problems this week for the first time ever, too.

An interesting thing while looking for a brochure..

D3 is reported twice in the brochure page and while there’s the classic D3 motto “Defy limitations”, the other D3 reports “Alla scoperta di nuovi orizzonti” that sounds more or less like “Discovering new horizons”
Look by yourself here: http://www.nital.it/download/documenti.php and scroll down til “Reflex Digitali”

I am hoping it is putting everything in place for release of the D3x. I am hoping they have everything in place and are just waiting until the announcement to flip the switch. I am hoping for the D3x! A new lens or more would be welcome as well.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi Dino,
i’ve also posted the “MB-D10 for free” news, very interesting, but i hoping another christmas gift for who -like me- has already bought D300/D700.
Anyway, haven’t registered my nital card (one year old), i’ll give a try!

The swedish site Nikon.se is up again, just some new design can’t find anything about any D3x unfortunately.

And on that site – great Nikon resource btw.! – there’s an overview page about the digital Nikons including all the old models at http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/htmls/models/digitalSLRs/index.htm with lots of clickable links

ps… Nikon italy is APPARENTLY still up but I start getting some Java Script Error messages that never appeared before..
By the way we have a nice offer here: if you get a D300 or D700 and register within one week until 25.1.2009, you will get a MB-D10 for free !
