You have missed a point here. All the mentioned announcements was on a monday or tuesday. This means official announcement 12th or 13th. Not 15th as mentioned earlier.

yes, the changes may be done/uploaded already, but not yet activated – sometimes they do this few days before the announcement – I guess to make sure everything is ok. Sometimes they even activate the new page(s) for a short period of time and then remove them. Remember the D3x?

If they upload everything at the time of the announcement there is not much they can do it if something goes wrong.

This will calculate differences between views in crops and give you a sample image http://taishimizu.com/et-cetera/lenscalculator
just put 24mm into the fullframe/35mm row of the table.

Also, I just reviewed the nikon 24mm f/2 AIS, and have plenty of DX shots up on my site http://taii.cc/39

Site is up (at least it’s up if you connect from Italy: may it be an internet seabone interrupted?): I see no big announcements, apart from an interesting cash-back discount on nikon lenses (250 euros on the new 70-200 VR, up to 1000 euros on the 400 f2.8 VR…)

Usually the first news always comes from the UK. They also schedule press conferences in different European and some Asian countries (China). I am not aware of such in the US.
I cannot talk about the rumors… sorry, but they come from all over the place.

yes D3x sorry, I have D3s on my mind for next week

Speaking of patterns, is there any in regards to the places where the first announcements are made. I once assumed Japanese companies would just make their calls in Tokyo, and let the news go around the world with the dawn. But it seems that Nikon prefers European venues for the splashy events. Is that the case, or am I just mistaken in my impression. (It would not be the first time ).

Also is there a pattern to the rumors? Is there a tendency for the ultimately proven-to-be-correct ones to come from one region (say China or Europe), or are they more random in origin.?
