2 Weeks ago some photographers of Getty Images where playing with a new (nameless) camera. It looked a little different than the D300.
It has 15 Megapixels & Video. They where talking about the very good results with low light, almost as good as D3.
Could this be the D400 ?

missunderstanding: the microsite is there but the D300 banner on the main page was removed – see the screenshot in the linked post.

That was me that made that comment, not the person that offered to report back. And yes, the company does terminate people for divulging that info. Just wanted to make sure the person knew that.

If “doing that can get you terminated”, why did you say you would report back?

A worthy “predecessor” to the D300 is already here… it’s called the D200 and you can get one for $599 at Best Buy evidently…think you meant worthy “successor”.

Because Best Buy really cares that much? They’re not going to waste their time chasing after an anonymous tipster, much less for such a silly thing as if a camera is discontinued or not.

Best buy just restructured alot of their stores in terms of camera assortment.

there were alot of stores (mine included) that used to stock D300s. our store no longer stocks the d300. its now only top tier stores along with the D700, and upper canon stuff (5d mk2)

ill dig into the system tomorrow and look for more info.

cheers

I’m still very happy with my D300 set-up and will continue to use it until a worthy predecessor comes around that motivates me to action. At this point, any photographic issues are self-inflicted.

On that note, I think the D300 is toast. Out with the old; in with the new. Make way for a better sensor, higher resolution, better color algorithms, wider dr, more accurate focus, HD video, built-in horizon and more. It’s all part of Nikon’s constantly moving innovation train.

Interesting… however, dpreview is hardly the most reliable source for “accurate” information or even rumors for that matter. Lot’s of opinions there and you what they say about opinions… they’re like @$$holes, everybody has one and they all stink.

I’ll wait for the official press release from Nikon before I lay my money down on anything.

Just my opinion, though

Doing that can get you terminated.

I agree 100% – the D300 is just about perfect and I want at least one more! I do hope the price drops below $1000.

In episode 8 on dtowntv.com Scott Kelby was talking about Nikon’s D300 Special Site http://imaging.nikon.com/products/imaging/lineup/d300/index.htm

Is it a good idea to advertise a discontinued camera? Don’t think so…
