Comments on: More spy shots (Nikon D5000) http://nikonrumors.com/2009/04/06/more-spy-shots.aspx/ where there’s smoke there’s fire Sun, 12 Feb 2012 18:00:06 +0000 hourly 1 By: jsv_foto http://nikonrumors.com/2009/04/06/more-spy-shots.aspx/comment-page-1/#comment-21221 jsv_foto Mon, 06 Apr 2009 23:34:36 +0000 http://nikonrumors.com/?p=4015#comment-21221 Interesting. If you count the icons on the mode dial, there are 13. The D60 has 12, ditto for the D40 and D40x. This could well indicate a "movie mode." I do hope there's no aperture tab, as using old MF glass with a movie mode would rock. Interesting. If you count the icons on the mode dial, there are 13. The D60 has 12, ditto for the D40 and D40x.

All the shots of the camera front on have the silver model number blacked out, whereas in the photo with the guy's left index finger over where the model number should be, you can clearly make out that it is in fact there.

The next shots have exif dates of yesterday. Whether or not both sets come from the same person, somebody was less patient and more willing to share than I'd be. Honestly…maybe.

These could be a month old." If you took shots like these, would you wait a month to post them? :) “We don’t have a real date on these images because the exif data is off.

The Rollei it was shot on is a camera from 2004. Cameras usually revert to their manufacture date when their batteries die completely. A camera this old very likely has no functioning internal battery at this point (assuming it ever did) and whoever owns it is probably tired of resetting the damn date/time every time they recharge the battery. The rest of the exif data (from my reading) all points to images that are camera original. Everything else is guess work. The person taking the pics may or may not have had a relationship with the subject. But by my calculations, with that camera at it's longest focal length, the shooter never got closer than 25 feet. Far enough to not be noticed? Depends on if there was a crowd or not. We don't have a real date on these images because the exif data is off. These could be a month old.

Definitely a new body shape. This smells like Nikon-planted photos though - a bit of hype before the launch... who on earth dresses like that, posing around with a camera! Still, it looks great. Fingers crossed. Impressive!

There is a high wall which go around the city from which the photo's could have been taken. Its a very popular advertising town. I would put money on it.

Terrible. Maybe frame grabs from film, but not marketing stills, definitely not. Did you look at the image quality? Terrible. Maybe frame grabs from film, but not marketing stills, definitely not.

I wonder what the “SCENE” could be. I also hope they added some different aspect ratios, like the Oly 620/30 has. I'd love to shoot in 6:6 with Nikkor AF-D primes.

The Dial also has different "knurling" around its perimiter than the D40/40x/60. The pop-up flash has a different profile.
