In these times of economical crisis I don’t thin that nikon company is prepairing a new model of cámera. On the contrary, they are ruling out actually models in order to reduce expenses. What about D400, D700S, D800?. Nothing but fakes. The business is nowadays in compact cámeras. If we want professional quality, we must pay for it (D3x, D700) don’t expect for bargains.

Well, is not exactly the release button, but the flash bracketing,…either way, it relates to the pop-up flash…
Cheers!

As Mark M noted, is a D300 picture retouched,
but the funniest thing that went unnoticed is the pop-up flash button on the right, in a camera with no pop-up flash;)

Also it doesn’t need a camera to take pictures.

hmm, if you don’t want to break something that works, why bother with evolving body design with each generation if it already works as it should?

I expect Nikon to maybe do some minor ergo updates with the D4, D400, D800 but very unlikely to present a major change.

I don’t know if it is clunky but you have to admit that Nikon DSLR body design is light years ahead of Canon bodies. Canon bodies feel and look very dated in comparison, Nikon’s design however is much more with the times in my opinion.

Well, to some degree yes. But this was posted in the full knowledge it was already fake. The fact the image is well over a year old too, and was out before the d700 was even announced, which just means its of no use.

Well yeah if you wait long enough, eventually some camera with a D800 moniker is going to show up. I can predict it will rain… eventually… no inside information or expertise to tell you that.

My point is that when that picture was posted, it was for a camera in a product line that wouldn’t exist for another 6 months. The guy who produced the image was just taking a guess at the name based on the rumors at the time.

Totally agree! I like these rumors, real or not… and if there is something i am not interested in, then I don’t hit the “don’t post again” button, just because it may not interest me, doesn’t mean nobody else is interested in reading it.

But he is real! He is really really real! And he is going to bring me my D800 if I am good!

D400 wasn’t wrong, just not first to come, who really expected a D300s say 1 year ago? So don’t blame me, but I think it’s the same with D700x or D800, D3(x) and D4, and so on…

I honestly don’t get why so many people voted “don’t post again” on this. Posts like this one — i.e. picking up a rumor and doing research on it — are what a rumor site is all about, and what make this site a valuable resource for the Nikon community.

Instead of ~5 people posting the same fake picture over and over again on the dpreview forums, we have one page that debunks it and that everyone can refer the greenhorns to. Isn’t that better?

Or are you all just venting your frustration that the D800 isn’t real?

I’m sure this will be featured next rumor.

I wonder how else a DSLR could be designed. The design is influenced by the internal components. Do you want a star-shaped DSLR or maybe some pink color?

Hum, why would assist only be for flash. It’s pretty useful for available light as well. Actually that’s all I use it for.
