aah S70 makes sense to me. The S70 has a big touchscreen, and can be operated by finger gestures – so its sort of an iphone camera, but without the iphone. Thats sort of new and something you can can show (and maybe sell) to an technically uninformed audience. And it’s even smaller than an fullformat x1-clone. sigh.

My guess an S70 is a replacement for the current S60:

Well, he was a philosopher too. I’m not quite sure about what he said and didn’t say, though – but then again, neither are you. None of us ever met him.

Ashton strikes me as a “Champagne and Light Brown” sort of guy.

Stop with the fake Albert Einstein quotes, damn!!! He didn’t crack any of what you people are constantly trying to put in his mouth. HE WAS A DAMN SCIENTIST NOT A STAND UP COMEDY.

I’m going to start a blog about this.

I saw a Nikon TV commercial yesterday, here in the UK, for the Coolpix range. I can’t remember seeing one for a long time though. Maybe they’re doing bit of a marketing push before Chrismas / the October events

when Ashton Kutcher is involved, you know it won’t be D700s / D700x / D800….

Maybe the X1 clone?? =D

goddammit, I hope it’s not another Kutcher ad. . .

oh crap, just read, it is. . .

THAT MEANS 1 of 2 THINGS:
A D90 level body (or less) is coming out, or they are pushing the D5k with him since it’s doing really poorly considering the recalls. . .

My vote is for an updated D90 since the price is dropping rapidly, it targets a great pro-consumer/ semi-pro / parent who wants video audience. . .

Has Nikon done commercials before? I’ve never seen one on tv here in germany. But i’ve never seen a canon or sony camera commercial as well. My guess is camera companies will use their advertising budgets on tv commercials only if they can present something that looks like a new type of camera to the public. Rather than presenting to an technically uninformed audience something that has just a bigger sensor than last years model.

My GF confirmed it´s a commercial with Ashton Kutcher. They shoot again today. She is going to try to find out the specific camera model(s). I will know by the end of today. I don’t anticipate anything big.
