Other than that I agree

If something offends your viewpoint or upsets, don’t read it. If it is personally offensive then it should be deleted otherwise democracy should prevail – it is, after all, the least worst system! This site, like every other has its fair share of shills and sock-puppets who are here to see who bites but why let it bother you? By even having the comments removed, you are giving them the limelight they crave and attention they seek. By reading on past them, they will eventually get bored.

I didn’t say we or anyone had created books for all those products, merely that we do plan way ahead to make sure we have the top sales links on the web – that means, sometimes, even creating products or model numbers – which are often speculative on our part.

There is no relationship between that and what the manufacturer may do or is likely to do. We had a book listing – even with a ISBN – for the Nikon F7 a year ago.

These D400 ‘rumours’ are highly speculative – none of the usual reliable sources have any comments on it. Of course it is possible it will be launched but at present it is very Willow The Wisp in nature and not really a rumour, its rather like chinese whispers and everyone keeps adding their part.

Until some reliable sources – or some official info is made available or leaked – then I would urge you to use caution when making the postings. If you do have a source that is feeding you the info then you should also back it up with a second – in part to protect your source. I know of many companies who feed info to suspected moles in order to find out which one is leaking info – then they take them out back and shoot them…. OK not quite, but they do find they are no longer employed and can face both civil and criminal prosecution.

2) D400 is inevitable and even I could start writting a book on it without ever having actually touched the body. Of course I wouldn’t finish or publish said book until I’d actaully gotten my hands on it, but my point is most authors of series books on Nikons already have thier D400 books 80% written.

Finally, I don’t get why people think crazy things… like the D400 will be full frame…

I have no inside info, but can tell you with absolute certainty that the D400 will be a new DX sensor (DX00 bodies always are). It’ll probably be about 14-16 MP to compete with the 50D. All you need to do is watch for the new Sony sensor announcement and viola you’ve got the lead on the D400′s sensor.

IMHO, the only reasonable point of discussion regarding the D400 is IF this body will have video, which I personally suspect it will.

Also, no the D700x will not have video, but the D4/D800/D800x all will. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love it if the D700x DID have video, but it’s not going to happen.

I fully expect a D400 in the next 6 months. I fully expect a D700x in the next 9 months.

I’m totally guilty of saying prove it with pictures/work/results/etc. But I’ve never called anybody incompetent, which is what this person is doing. Big difference. I don’t think anyone would complain if you just deleted time wasting trolls like the above comment.

It could be that Nikon has sent him a pre production camera. It could also be that this is a quick rewrite of the D300/D90 book to be hastily composed as the camera is announced.

Lets face it 97% of features will not have changed.

George.

I guess he didn’t notice the site name is Nikon RUMORS, not Nikon FACTS.

I say keep up the rumors. It’s fun. Anonymous can simply head over to the Nikon official site and read the press releases.

Hey, he called you sir. At least he seems like a nice guy.
