Please explain and support your comment Anonymous about why Nikon is more professional. That is because what we saw so far is quite disappointing:

(1) D3x annoucement – it is a total failure not to mention the after sale support (this is darn 8K camera and not plastic crap)
(2) D5000 – Not too shabby, approx. 120K cameras (at least recalled) just a week before their new product announcement(s). Oh, please google the story … indeed it is a good one.
(3) D300s – now this is my favourite, I have 3 words to describe the professionalism behind this one “Star Wars Kids”. (…with all due respect to Mr. Tan) When did you see Apple unannounced products in the hands of the Star War Kids? If we assume that this was intentional then what on earth was Nikon thinking? If it wasn’t intentional then yes they are absoletely professional.

This list can be continued but I guess it illustrates my point. So, Anonymous please explain and support your thoughts with evidence.

The event was held in a zoo, I’d be a lot more concerned if it were a dead giraffe.

In all likelihood, Nikon probably sent him the camera. The guy is the president/owner of the local Nikon distribution company in the Philippines. He’s the same idiot that announced a huge lens sale in one of the other local forums and never delivered. From the looks of it, a little too young and inexperienced to be running the show. More (family) money than brains, it seems…

Well, there is a reason why Apple and others put lid on their leaks. There is a big difference between what Nikon and Apple do.

Apple has a professional marketing team. They both have great products and that is the main driver behind the “hype” and rumors. Don’t let the crowd fool you, it is not marketing and or professional management. If they properly did their homework then they would have released long time ago many products that would have yielded better returns for them. In addition, quite few consumers wouldn’t feel that they are locked up to Nikon (since they have an arsenal of expensive glasses.)

My points are that (1) if Nikon has to rely on this hype that much then it is in big trouble. (2) Nikon is extremely predicatable in terms of what and when they deliver. (3) It is not the champion of consumer centric innovation. And I repeat, consumer centric innovation.

I hope you get it right now what I was talking about.

sorry to break it to you people but that nikon d300s is a real deal. it came from a photography forum and the one holding the camera is the president of the official distro of nikon.

so instead of arguing start breaking that piggy bank of yours.

Not part of the club but was at the same venue during the event. Saw someone testing the camera. If you want a clear picture, here it is.

Looks real to me, but what was that photo taken with and why was it shot so slowly that we have all that motion blur? Was it taken with a phone? Was the exposure 1 second?

And is that a live giraffe standing about one foot behind them? I’d be more concerned about that!!

And yes, I’d love to know whether this was a purposeful leak or whether this guy was being obnoxious. Distributor or not, how did he get his hands on the camera? But we’ll probably never find out.

There is a difference between an “upgrade” to the D700 (a “D700s”?) and the purported issue of the D700 body + 24 meg sensor (a “D700x”? “D800″?). I would agree that the former is a while away, but the latter would be a different camera entirely, and thus the announcement time would also differ.

The picture is a fake. Nikon closly guard release information on new products.
Funny how the picture is in focus except for the camera. Maybe he was getting excited and made it blur.

Then what are the upgraded elements?

totally disagree zzddr. I think it has proved nikon well over the past few years. I love the hype and stuff that goes on, makes for an exciting entrance and exit for equipment. Who would think so many people talk about rumors, about a camera company… you don’t see that as often with canon, not from the forums i check… cuz they never know what the hell canon will come out with… i think nikon does it not only for that reason, but to see what people are thinking about their new creations, incase it might be a lemon, or a masterpiece….
