The writers need time to write up articles about the Press Release?

Many if not most photography-equipment writers–both online and in print–seem to regurgitate the Press Releases! That’s not writing.

Why is there a ” ‘ ” in the plural form of camera?

I have no other info/rumors at that point. I will post them right away as I get them. I think we should expect at least one more DLSR from Nikon this year and it will be FX – I cannot see them coming up with another DX body. I would expect also some primes with that FX body. Let’s go over the D300s announcement and then I will start sniffing around for the next release.

If I have to guess and give my opinion without any source, I would say a new D700 and a D3 should be released by the end of the year – they may be just minor upgrades (just like the D300s). I cannot see Nikon coming with a completely new body.

I doubt it was an NDA. It was much more likely to be an “embargo” document which means the info can’t be released until a certain day and time.

And while that embargo definitely happened, I don’t really understand it. If Nikon didn’t want the info released until tomorrow, why didn’t they simply have the press conference tomorrow? Is there another press conference elsewhere tomorrow that they’re trying to sync with? If so, the embargo will be released when that press conference is over.

And will I laugh if this turns out be Coolpix announcements and not DSLR/lens announcements.

The problem is that is NR was invited, all info would leak into this site in real-time, followed by the Nikon rep being taken by the Admin to a dungeon, where he/she would be beaten into submission until a real roadmap was revealed.
So Nikon was wise…

Hey Admin
Any news about 24/28mm & 85mm primes that what I want most. I use a 70-200mm on D3′s for shooting weddings and I love the edge darkness/softness, it saves me doing in afterwards, it is a beautiful lens for shooting people. I recon the old 70/200 will be a very sought after lens in a few years, like the 28/1.4.

I could be wrong – we discussed this last year I believe and we all agree that one of the entries was for the white model (I think the part# was different). I will try to find the link.

I checked that page yesterday. Only one entry for 70-200 then. So something is happening to the site (preparation for new launch?).

99.9% on the 300s and 3000.

What’s the percentage chance on a 700x announcement?

Or if thats a no go, how about is the video codec changed to a real codec like h.264?? %%% chance of that?
