Just run this google search and you will see a bunch of pictures with the Nikon D400 listed as the camera in the EXIF file. Not a big deal so far since we had a similar discussion few weeks ago and the EXIF files were manipulated. The interesting part here is that those pictures are private and you cannot access them, but if you click on the Google "cached" link you will have full access to the photos and EXIF data (on some of the pictures). Most probably those pictures were not really taken with a D400, but if someone wanted to trick us, they would not make them private. Some of the dates are from 2004 and 2006, but maybe the camera date was not setup correctly. Some of the EXIF data also looks weird. What do you guys think, bull or cool?
Here is a screenshot of one of the EXIF files:

this is very possible since it has been almost 2 years when they first released the D300, it’s time for an upgrade
It hasn’t been 2 years. Unless you count 2 months’ worth of times as a year.
D300 was released at the end of Nov. 2007. That gives you:
1 month in 2007
12 months in 2008
1 month in 2009
Refresh me on the *almost 2 years* part again. Maybe my English isn’t good enough to understand what “almost” really means.
I’m going to call this fake, due the the Photoshop CS2 info in the EXIF data. CS2 doesn’t support the D700, you need CS3/CS4 or Lightroom 2.xx If this was a test model, why not try out the “Matrix Metering?”
I still say a D400 is plausible, will will just have to wait for PMA.
CS2 can work wonderfully on any yet unreleased camera until they shoot in JPEG.
I think the 7.1mm focal length is a bit of a give away. Is it even possible to get a 7mm lens for a Nikon DSLR?
I’m going to go out on a limb and say the photo was taken with a point & shoot and the EXIF was modified.
Same opinion here, 7.1mm is out for a dslr, even APS-C.
But a D400 is certainly in the works and likely ready to ship, not sure if Nikon will do it now or wait for the 2year cycle to be completed.
My guess: it’s coming this semester, together with a new entry-level 12MP camera. D700x (D700 body with D3x’s sensor) later in the year.
Not only is 7.1mm way out for a dSLR, it’s way in for a P&S – I’ve seen a few that mention precisely this number on the lens somewhere, for example my pocket Fuji
I not native english so please sorry for languages but nikon make good d300 i believe and not much better how you say “lol”
I need not new nikon as old nikon is with video now as i would like in new nikon
does you think nikon does new lenses with new make rumors?
The EXIF data looks all wrong; there is a lot of missing information that shows up on my flickr page for my D300. I think it’s safe to assume that EXIF data for a D400 wouldn’t be that different. Plus, as jazz noted, 7.1mm sounds like a P&S focal length and the maximum aperture from the given lens data calculates as f/2.97… Not saying that a D400 isn’t likely at some point in the near future, but this isn’t it.
The word is cache, not cash. Big difference.
I find it so funny that people post comments complaining that a post on a rumor site was not legitimate. How dare Nikon Rumors post this! Blah blah. Give me a break. It’s like these people don’t realize how pathetic they are. Don’t get me started on the Canon/Nikon/Sony fanboys who blasted each other on which system is far superior.
Don’t get me wrong, it is entertaining, but pathetic nonetheless.
I say keep these rumors and posts going, Admin.
It be almost as bad as complaining about it, no? lolers!
Oh, I’m not complaining -as I said it’s entertaining. But yes, I am pathetic too.
I will continue posting -trust me. As I mentioned already – it is the same persons complaining all the time under different names.
I like the postings. I like website. I come here everyday. I was not complaining about website. I was commentering on Jacks post about complainting.
So, you were complaining about the people complaining about the complainers of which I am one of the complainers? Whoa, I just blew my mind.
LOLings
Looks like a fake. Or EXIF reading error.
Just look at “taken on” date. It can vary from 2004 to 2008. I don’t think Nikon tests D400 since 2004!
How do you get a 7.1 mm focal length?
PS modified for BS?
Modified BS?
Have you tried to contact the owner ? (Kushik guy)
Focal plane DPI close to 6,000, focal length of 7.1 mm. Sounds like a 3 MPx compact to me.
Due to the current economic situation, the Nikon D400 will be a 3mp P&S.
Nikon: Reinventing the Digital Camera Market.
Crap, I don’t think I can afford that. Back to pinholes.
This picture is real?

I don’t know. seriously though, this seems completely plausible. I mean, for serious. Like, Nikon really needs to compete with the 5D MKII with the full frame high pixel density camera. I mean, really. What is nikon thinking? What are you thinking? Do you like the idea of the d400? Do you like it? huh? I don’t hear you. lol. sheesh. lol
What’s an EXIF? I check Ken Rockwell’s site but he just said that I should use a film and film doesn’t come with EXIF information. I wonder if they were still developing new films now would there be a http://www.35mmfilmrumor.com? I’m gonna check godaddy.com to see if it’s available,,,,and yes it is! no one steal my idea!!
Anyway, Have there been any new rumors about any new lenses? I’d love some new ones to think about buying. You see, I never actually buy anything. I just like the idea of NIkon releasing them and that’s why I like da rumas’!
good day.
Actually I was expecting this to be the first comment to this post…
You are entitled to an opinion as much as I am. I am presenting you something tangible – with a screenshot, instead of saying that there is a camera in test somewhere and I don’t even know what is it called. Do you see the difference here? I did not say that those images are really taken with D400 – I just wanted to start a discussion.
I see the difference, good sir! I just think that maybe discussion is simply it be not real. it fake.
Eric (David, Paul, etc…) I am not sure why are you using different names? Are you trying to hide something? I know you have a lot of free time at the University of Texas, I say don’t waist it.
BTW, one of my best friends is teaching at that University
Better Eric/Paul/etc get into study rather than wasting time using the computers there
waist? I no understand you. anywhos. I like the d300. it makes good.
